Concluding Observations on Report 4 (2017) (Link)

Anti-discrimination framework

15. The Committee remains concerned about the lack of a comprehensive anti- discrimination law that clearly defines and prohibits direct and indirect discrimination and lists prohibited grounds of discrimination. In that regard, it is particularly concerned about the situation of: (a) persons living with HIV/AIDS; and (b) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, who are subjected to stigmatization and discrimination (arts. 2, 3 and 26).

16. The State party should: (a) adopt comprehensive legislation to combat racism and discrimination that includes a definition of direct and indirect discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity; (b) ensure that all victims of discrimination have access to effective remedies; and (c) take all necessary interim measures, pending the adoption of comprehensive legislation, to combat and prevent stigmatization and discrimination aimed at persons living with HIV/AIDS and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons.
