CCPR/C/79/Add.79 page 3 11. The Committee notes that various measures and steps are envisaged by the Slovak authorities to further promote and protect human rights, including the setting up of an Office of Ombudsman for Human Rights, and urges their rapid implementation. It notes Slovakia's readiness to develop international cooperation to secure either Czech or Slovak citizenship for all Roma children already born and the intention expressed by the delegation to publish and disseminate the full text of the Committee's concluding observations. D. Subjects of concern and the Committee's recommendations 12. The Committee notes with concern that insufficient steps have been taken to date to implement various provisions of the Constitution dealing with fundamental rights and of the Covenant. In particular, the Committee regrets the absence or inadequacy of laws regulating matters relating to article 14 of the Covenant, with respect to the appointment of members of the judiciary; article 4 of the Covenant; article 18, with respect to the right to conscientious objection to military service without a punitive extension of the period of service; and article 25 of the Covenant. 13. The Committee regrets the lack of clarity regarding the interrelationship of articles 11, 125 and 132 of the Constitution, especially as to the Constitutional Court's competence conclusively to ensure that acts and regulations of central or local governments comply with the Constitution and international treaties, including the Covenant. 14.

The Committee is concerned about reports that Roma people are often victims of racist attacks, without receiving adequate protection from law enforcement officers. Therefore: the Committee reiterates its recommendations made under (a) and (b) of paragraph 14 above. 16.
