E/C.12/1/Add.34 page 4 23. With regard to the emerging trend of violence against minority groups and foreigners, the Committee recommends that the State party monitor the situation to combat, effectively, such acts of violence. 24. The Committee also recommends that the State party carefully monitor the impact of the new Alien Immigration Act and urges it to take urgent remedial action if the legislation proves to have a discriminatory effect upon refugees. 25. The Committee encourages the State party to continue in its endeavour to eliminate the persisting inequality between men and women in relation to equal wages for work of equal value. 26. The Committee urges the State party to take all corrective measures to reduce the level of unemployment of young people, foreign nationals, immigrants and refugees. 27. The Committee also draws the attention of the State party to the emerging problem of school drop-out, which mainly affects children coming from vulnerable social groups, such as economically disadvantaged children or children belonging to minorities. In this regard, the Committee recommends that specific measures be taken to ensure that these children can complete their studies to the extent of their academic capacities. 28. The Committee encourages the Government to continue its efforts to combat the problem of youth suicide and it recommends that statistical data be collected and that thorough and targeted studies be conducted on the extent, the causes and the consequences of this problem. The Committee particularly draws the attention of the authorities to the importance to be given to detection measures and preventive policies, and encourages them to continue with their campaigns for the prevention of this phenomenon. 29. The Committee recommends that the State party take the necessary measures to assure the right to strike to the teachers in the public sector, since they do not constitute an essential service. 30. The Committee emphasizes that further measures should be taken to ensure that the provisions of the Covenant are more widely disseminated, particularly among the legal profession and members of the judiciary. 31. The Committee recommends that the concerns expressed in the present concluding observations, as well as the issues raised during the discussion of the third periodic report which remain unanswered, inter alia regarding the question of devolution of responsibility to the Faeroes Islands, should be addressed in the State party’s fourth periodic report. 32. The Committee wishes to receive from the State party any reactions it or any other State authorities may have with respect to the present concluding observations. 33. The Committee requests the State party to disseminate the present concluding observations widely at all levels of society and to inform the Committee on all steps taken to implement them. -----
