E/C.12/MDA/CO/2 (c) The adoption of the Strategy and National Action Plan on the reform of the residential system of childcare for years 2007-2012; and (d) The adoption of the Law on Preventing and Combating Domestic Violence of 2007. C. Principal subjects of concern and recommendations 4. The Committee recommends that the State Party take special efforts to ensure respect, protection and fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights under the Covenant in negotiating development assistance projects and programmes. 5. The Committee regrets that national courts have not to date made reference to the Covenant in any of their rulings. The Committee requests the State party to provide in its next periodic report relevant case law, if available.
