9. While appreciating the State party’s efforts to improve the situation of the large number of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), asylum seekers and stateless persons, the Committee is concerned that many of them are still living in sub-standard conditions and that they are not fully enjoying their economic, social and cultural rights, in particular access to health care, adequate housing and legal employment. (art. 2)
(...)
The Committee also recommends that the State party implement a status determination procedure to identify stateless persons in the country and to grant them a legal status which would improve their enjoyment of economic social and cultural rights. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that the State party ensure the right of refugees and asylum seekers to register their marriages by lifting the administrative requirements or by granting a special measure to facilitate their right to marry.
16. (...) The Committee calls on the State party to intensify its efforts to guarantee health services to all. The Committee recommends that the State party take measures to guarantee access to sexual and reproductive health services, in particular in rural and remote areas, including to refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs and stateless persons. The Committee recommends that the State party take necessary measures to fight against corruption in the health sector so that non-official fees are not collected from patients. The Committee also recommends that the State party monitor mental health centres and services to ensure compliance with the established international standards.
23. The Committee is concerned that, while the State party succeeded to drastically lower the level of poverty from almost 50 per cent in 2002 to 7.6 per cent in 2012, a
considerable part of the population still live below the poverty line, especially the most disadvantaged and marginalized groups. The Committee is also concerned that the level of
poverty is especially acute in rural areas (arts.10 and 11).
The Committee strongly urges the State party to intensify its efforts to combat poverty, especially among the most disadvantaged and marginalized members of the population, including persons with disabilities, IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers, stateless persons, and migrant workers and to reduce disparities between the capital and the rural areas, and provide information on the progress made in its next report, including sex-disaggregated data per year for the groups listed above. In that respect, the Committee draws the State party’s attention to its statement concerning poverty and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (E/C.12/2001/10).
