A/HRC/20/33/Add.1 74. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government ensure that more administrative judges with the relevant knowledge of and competence in human rights, refugees and asylum seekers standards be involved in the current judicial review process of immigration detention facilities. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government ensure that specialized human rights training with a particular focus on the principle of non-discrimination and the human rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers is provided to members of the judiciary, including criminal judges, police officers and immigration officials and other interested groups including civil guards working in detention facilities, and social workers dealing with unaccompanied minors. Training with a special emphasis on bridging intercultural and linguistic gaps should also be provided. On the legal human rights framework 75. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Hungary accede to the international and regional human rights instruments for which it is not yet a party, including the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. 76. The Special Rapporteur calls upon the Government to ensure that the constitutional changes concerning minorities’ rights will not weaken the current legal and institutional framework for their protection, especially with regard to their representation and participation in public affairs. Furthermore, in the light of general recommendation No. 30 (2004) of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on discrimination against non-citizens, the Special Rapporteur recommends that all the constitutional provisions restricting certain human rights to Hungarian citizens including the right to education and the enjoyment of social security, be revised to extend equal human rights protection to all individuals residing in Hungary, including non-citizens. 77. The Special Rapporteur also encourages the authorities to strengthen measures to ensure the effective implementation of the Equal Treatment Act and monitor its application closely. The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Criminal Code does not explicitly include a general provision under which racist motivation constitutes an aggravating circumstance. He therefore recommends that the Government explicitly introduces into the Criminal Code a general provision according to which committing an offence with racist motivation or aim constitutes an aggravating factor allowing for enhanced penalties. On the institutional human rights framework 78. The Special Rapporteur recommends that measures be taken to ensure the Equal Treatment Authority is fully independent of the Government and to provide it with the necessary technical, human and financial resources. The Special Rapporteur also recommends further steps for the development of accessible and understandable awareness-raising measures on the work and competencies of the Authority aimed at the general public. Civil society actors could be major partners. 79. The Special Rapporteur regrets the abolition of the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Rights of National and Ethnic Minorities and encourages the Government to re-establish it in light of the need for an independent body to monitor the promotion and protection of the rights of minorities. 21
