A/HRC/22/27 and economically disadvantaged groups. Mr. Singh said that the judgment should inspire other countries. 71. In a statement to the Human Rights Council at its nineteenth session, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar said the recent wave of reforms had already had a positive impact on the country and its people, but warned there were ongoing and serious human rights concerns that remained to be addressed, and that could not be ignored in the rush to reform and to move forward. Positive developments should not be based on the mere discretion of the authorities, but rather on a democratic institutional approach that allowed transparency, predictability and continuity in reforms. In August, welcoming the ceasefire agreements reached with 10 ethnic armed groups, and the ongoing dialogue in that regard, the Special Rapporteur said that efforts to find durable political solutions should address long-standing grievances and deep-rooted concerns among ethnic groups. 72. In May, the Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia, Shamsul Bari, urged the Somali authorities and the international community to re-establish a legitimate justice system in Mogadishu and South Central Somalia. According to Mr. Bari, the harmonization of customary law and sharia law with modern law and international human rights law presented another major challenge for the administration of justice in Somalia. He stressed that “women, internally displaced persons and minorities suffer particularly from the lack of access to justice and due process”. 73. Also in May, the Working Group on Discrimination against Women in Law and in Practice urged the Government of Moldova to implement coherently the country’s nondiscrimination legislation. The Working Group also noted a major void in the national human rights mechanisms to address violations of women’s rights, and stressed that women who faced multiple forms of discrimination, such as members of religious minority groups or Roma women, required an effective mechanism to monitor their situation. 74. In June, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, Juan Méndez, condemned the execution of four members of the Ahwazi Arab minority in Ahwaz’s Karoun Prison in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Following a reportedly unfair trial, they were sentenced to death and executed on or around 19 June 2012. The four men were reportedly arrested in April 2011 during a protest in Khuzestan and convicted of Moharebeh (enmity against God) and Fasad-fil Arz (corruption on earth). 75. The Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights and the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief strongly condemned grave violations of cultural rights and the right to freedom of religion and belief in northern Mali, in particular the destruction of sites of religious significance, including mausoleums in the World Heritage site of Timbuktu. VI. Universal periodic review 76. At its nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first sessions, the Human Rights Council adopted the reports of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review on various countries. 77. In the adopted reports, issues regarding minority groups were raised, and recommendations included, inter alia, strengthened disaggregated data collection to better understand hate crimes towards minorities; increased enforcement of anti-discrimination and hate crime laws with a view to effectively prosecuting the incitement of hatred, 16
