Committee’s previous recommendations<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

388.\t<\/span>The Committee notes with satisfaction the State party’s efforts to address various concerns and recommendations (CRC\/C\/15\/Add.169) made upon the consideration of the State party’s second periodic report (CRC\/C\/70\/Add.8) through legislative measures and policies.  However, some of the concerns it expressed and recommendations it had made regarding, inter alia, independent monitoring, the minimum age for marriage, the very low age of criminal responsibility, the right to a nationality, the right to be protected against violence, and abuse and the protection of refugee children, including Palestinian children, have not been sufficiently addressed.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Data collection<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

400.\t<\/span>The Committee welcomes the implementation of the “Child Info” programme on indicators relating to children and it is encouraged by the plan to establish a research, information and documentation centre for childhood within the framework of the programme of cooperation between the Lebanese Government and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) 2002-2006.  However, the Committee is concerned about inadequate mechanisms to collect, analyse and disaggregate statistical data on children and adolescents, and it regrets the lack of updated information and data concerning many issues covered by the Convention, for example, suicides among adolescents, residential care institutions, youth literacy, working children, Palestinian refugee children, children belonging to minorities and migrant children.<\/p><\/div>\n

3.  General principles<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

(arts. 2, 3, 6 and 12 of the Convention)<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Non-discrimination<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

408.\t<\/span>The Committee notes with appreciation that article 7 of the Constitution of Lebanon promotes the principle of non-discrimination.  However, it notes with concern that the Constitution and domestic laws guarantee equal status only to Lebanese children, but leave, for example, foreign children and refugee and asylum-seeking children without such protection.  It is concerned at the persistent de facto discrimination faced by children with disabilities, the aforementioned foreign, refugee and asylum-seeking children, Palestinian children, children living in poverty, children in conflict with the law, and children living in rural areas, especially with regard to their access to adequate social and health services and educational facilities.  The Committee also notes with concern the reports of the expressions of racial discrimination and xenophobia in the State party.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\/…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

409.\t<\/span>The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to eliminate discrimination against children with disabilities, foreign, refugee and asylum-seeking children, Palestinian children, children living in poverty, children in conflict with the law, and children living in rural areas and other vulnerable groups:<\/strong>  …<\/p><\/div>\n
