E/C.12/NDL/CO/4-5 implemented. The Committee recommends that these plans include specific programmes regarding the realization of economic, social and cultural rights. 8. The Committee is concerned by the insufficient awareness of the provisions of the Covenant among the general public at large. The Committee recommends that the State party take effective measures to increase awareness among the public at large of the economic, social and cultural rights contained in the Covenant, as well as of judicial or other remedies available to individuals in the event of violations of these rights, and encourages the State party to involve civil society and national human rights institutions in this regard. 9. The Committee is concerned that the training programmes for judges, law enforcement officers, teachers, social workers and public officials do not cover the provisions of the Covenant and their application in a systematic manner. The Committee calls on the State party to provide systematic training on the provisions of the Covenant and their application to members of all professions and sectors that play a direct role in the promotion and protection of the rights contained in the Covenant, including judges, law enforcement officers, migration officers, lawyers, civil servants, teachers, and health-care professionals. 10. The Committee is concerned that there are no human rights institutions that comply fully with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (Paris Principles) in the State party. The Committee calls on the State party to continue its efforts to establish national human rights institutions compliant with the Paris Principles. The Committee calls upon the State party to ensure that these institutions have mandates which specifically cover economic, social and cultural rights and all territories of the State party. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 10 (1998) on the role of national human rights institutions in the protection of economic, social and cultural rights. Moreover, the Committee recommends that the State party take steps towards the accreditation of these institutions by the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. 11. The Committee notes with concern that the anti-discrimination legislation of the State party does not provide protection against discrimination in all its forms (art. 2, para. 2). The Committee calls on the State party to ensure that the new legislation integrating the four Equal Treatment Acts to be introduced in the Netherlands and the new equal treatment enactments to be adopted by Curaçao and St. Maarten provide comprehensive protection of the rights to equality and nondiscrimination on all the prohibited grounds covered by the Covenant. The Committee further urges the State party to ensure that effective remedies are available to victims of discrimination. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to general comment No. 20 (2009) on non-discrimination in economic, social and cultural rights. 12. The Committee is concerned that migrants and persons from ethnic minorities in the Netherlands continue to face considerable discrimination in the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, particularly with regard to employment, housing, health and education, in spite of the measures taken by the State party.
