35. The Committee urges the State party to accelerate its efforts to give effect to the two Constitutional Court decisions of 1999 and 2003 and the ruling of the European Court for Human Rights of 2012. To this end, the State party is requested to finalize the compensation scheme mentioned during the dialogue, which should cover all erased people and their children, and ensure its full application. In so doing, it should ensure consultations with erased people in order to properly cover all the rights violated and their genuine and fair estimations, and provide specific information in its next periodic report on the measures and programmes aimed at restoring erased peoples’ rights.
36. It is also recommended that the State party:
(a) Expeditiously amend the Legal Status Act in order to include in its provisions all people who suffered from the illegal revocation of their permanent residence in 1992, in particular children of erased people born outside Slovenia after 25 June 1991, and introduce new provisions for reparation of the violations of their rights;
(b) Expedite and simplify the application proceedings for obtaining permanent residence permits by erased people; systematically abstain from rejecting such applications; and sensitize the administrative staff dealing with these applications on treating the erased people with dignity and without prejudice; and,
(c) Consider ratifying the 1997 European Convention on Nationality and the 2006 Council of Europe Convention on the avoidance of statelessness in relation to State succession.
67. (d) Consider acceding to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
