E/C.12/1/Add.42 page 4 21. The Committee recommends that the State party continue to seek international technical assistance, as provided for in article 23 of the Covenant, in its efforts to improve the implementation of economic, social and cultural rights in the country. 22. In addition, the Committee recommends that the State party ensure that its international human rights obligations are taken fully into account when it enters into technical cooperation and other arrangements with international organizations. Also, the Committee urges the State party to take into account the different approaches taken by various international organizations, such as the human development approach of UNDP. 23. The Committee supports the suggestion in the UNDP Human Development Report Georgia 1999 that the poverty threshold level not be changed in accordance with proposals which the State party has received, as such a change would incorrectly reflect the poverty situation in the country. In this respect, the Committee urges the State party to take adequate measures to ensure that the minimum wage is sufficient to meet the basic needs of the wage earner and his or her family. 24. The Committee recommends that the State party take remedial action to ensure that workers in various sectors of the economy are paid on time. 25. The Committee also recommends that the State party undertake to adopt relevant legislation to ensure that disabled persons have greater access to the labour market. 26. Recognizing that the resources available to the State party are limited, the Committee suggests that measures be taken to concentrate their use on major priorities, such as measures to address the existing inequality between men and women in public service and the formulation of a National Plan of Action on Human Rights. In this respect, the Committee points out that international technical assistance may be requested with regard to such activities from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and UNDP. 27. The Committee urges the State party to start implementing gradually the National Plan of Action with regard to women. In addition, the Committee strongly recommends that the State party take effective measures to combat violence against women, including by adopting appropriate legislation. 28. The State party is urged to treat with more concern the growing number of children begging on the street and to take the appropriate measures to solve the problem. 29. The Committee recommends that the State party take measures to create conditions that would allow internally displaced persons to return to their places of origin. 30. The Committee recommends that the State party take steps to improve the awareness and knowledge of the public about reproductive health issues. In this regard, the Government might seek the advice and assistance of international organizations such as WHO, UNAIDS and the United Nations Population Fund.
