CRC/C/CHN/CO/3-4 practical implementation of article 2, namely, that no complaints related to discrimination have been recorded in its jurisdiction. 30. The Committee recommends that Hong Kong, China intensify measures, including awareness-raising, identification of discriminatory policies and timely implementation of relevant programmes, to combat discrimination against children with disabilities, undocumented children of migrant workers, and refugee and asylum-seeking children, and to ensure that these children have equal access to basic services, including health, education and other social services. The Committee reminds Macao, China that the absence of formal complaints does not imply that children are not discriminated against in its jurisdiction and recommends that it actively seek information on discrimination, especially with respect to children who are vulnerable to discrimination, and pursue all legislative and policy measures to eliminate all forms of discrimination against children.

In light of article 6 of the Convention, the Committee urges the State party to consider revising its stringent family planning policy in an effort to combat infanticide, in particular of girls and children with disabilities and to ensure that every child’s inalienable rights to life and survival are protected. It specifically recommends that the State party: (a) Adopt comprehensive legal and policy measures to address the underlying factors for infanticide, including the one-child policy; (b) Ensure more effective and consistent application and enforcement of laws against infanticide in all provinces and prefectures; (c) Improve ways to count, verify and register every birth.
