A/69/44 (d) Ensure that all allegations of domestic violence, including sexual violence and violence against children, are registered by the police and that all allegations of domestic violence are promptly, impartially and effectively investigated and the perpetrators prosecuted and punished; and (e) Ensure that victims of domestic violence benefit from protection, including restraining orders, and have access to medical and legal services, including counselling, safe and adequately funded shelters, and redress, including rehabilitation. Abortion (23) The Committee is concerned about restrictions on access to abortion, especially for victims of rape, due to the refusal of some physicians and clinics to perform legal operations on the basis of conscientious objection. This leads women to resort to clandestine, often unsafe abortions with all the health risks they entail (arts. 2 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that women, especially victims of rape, who voluntarily decide to terminate their pregnancy have access to safe, legal abortions. In accordance with the 2012 World Health Organization technical and policy guidance on safe abortion, the State party should ensure that the exercise of conscientious objection does not prevent individuals from accessing services to which they are legally entitled. The State party should also implement a legal and/or policy framework that enables women to access abortion where the medical procedure is permitted under the law. Trafficking in human beings (24) While welcoming the amendments to the Penal Code introducing a definition of trafficking in human beings and several policy measures in the area, the Committee is concerned at reports that the State party remains a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking, especially for the purpose of forced labour (arts. 2, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party fully implement the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and take measures to: (a) Enforce domestic anti-trafficking laws and policies, take effective measures to prevent human trafficking and increase protection for victims of trafficking; (b) Promptly, effectively and impartially investigate, prosecute and punish the crime of trafficking in persons and related practices; (c) Provide redress to victims of trafficking, including legal, medical and psychological aid and rehabilitation, as well as adequate shelters and assistance in reporting incidents of trafficking to the police; (d) Prevent the return of trafficked persons to their countries of origin where there are substantial grounds to believe that they would be in danger of torture; and (e) Enhance international cooperation with regard to preventing and punishing trafficking. Vulnerable groups (25) The Committee notes the adoption of the Equal Treatment Act in 2010 and the provisions of the Penal Code prohibiting hate crimes (arts. 119, 256 and 257), but considers that neither the Act nor the Penal Code provide adequate and specific protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation, disability or age. It is concerned at the 70 GE.14-12596
