A. Introduction
2.
The Committee welcomes the submission of the second report of the State party, which
was in general prepared in conformity with the Committee’s guidelines. The Committee regrets,
however, the late submission of the written replies to the list of issues (E/C.12/Q/EQU/1), which
impeded its availability in the other working languages of the Committee.
3.
The Committee welcomes the open and constructive dialogue with the members of the
high-level delegation of the State party.
