E/C.12/EST/CO/2 5. The Committee notes with appreciation the efforts made by the State party in promoting the implementation of economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee welcomes in particular: (a) The transparent and consultative process of preparation of the periodic report, which benefited from the participation of civil society organizations; (b) The system of collection and production of statistical data which enables the monitoring of the realization of economic, social and cultural rights; (c) The establishment of the Unemployment Insurance Fund and the reforms brought to the labour market services; (d) The adoption of the Gender Equality Act in 2004 and the conduct of the periodic Gender Equality Monitoring survey; (e) The policy of the State party of supporting the teaching of mother tongues of minorities and the promotion of bilingualism in education; (f) The integration of human rights education in the school curricula. C. Principal subjects of concern and recommendations 6. The Committee notes with concern that legal obligations incurred by the State party at the international level are restrictively interpreted by the judiciary as representing merely non-self-executing obligations and not giving rise to subjective claim rights at the domestic level. Thus, individuals are unable to claim violations of their economic, social and cultural rights emanating from the Covenant. The Committee recommends that the State party establish training programmes for the legal profession and judges on the scope of economic, social and cultural rights emanating from the Covenant and of the State party’s obligation to effectively implement binding human rights obligations at the domestic level. The Committee refers the State party to its general comments Nos. 3 (1990) on the nature of States parties’ obligations and 9 (1998) on the domestic application of the Covenant. 7. The Committee urges the State party to take steps to make any necessary legislative amendments to bring the Chancellor of Justice into compliance with the Paris Principles and to apply for its accreditation to the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in due course. The Committee also draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 10 (1998) on the role of national human rights institutions in the protection of economic, social and cultural rights. 8. The Committee notes with concern that the Equal Treatment Act does not prohibit discrimination on all grounds stipulated in article 2, paragraph 2 of the Covenant in the enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee calls on the State party to adopt the necessary legislative amendments so as to prohibit discrimination on all grounds stipulated in article 2, paragraph 2 of the Covenant and in the exercise of all economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee also requests that the State party include in its next periodic report information and statistical data on court cases and complaints lodged to the Gender Equality and Equal Treatment Commissioner on discrimination, as well as actions taken thereon. 9. The Committee remains concerned that persons with the status of ‘non-citizens,’ in accordance with the passport issued by the authority, still make up approximately 7 per 2
