Human rights in Liechtenstein : ウィキペディア英語版 | Human rights in Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein, a multiparty constitutional monarchy with a unicameral parliament and a government chosen by the reigning prince at its direction, is a prosperous and free country that is generally considered to have an excellent human-rights record. ==Office of Equal Opportunity==
The Office of Equal Opportunity oversees the enforcement of human rights in Liechtenstein. When it was formed in 1996, its focus was on sexual equality; it now also has oversight over such issues as “migration and integration of foreigners, disability, social discrimination and sexual orientation.” Its role includes “advising and making recommendations to authorities and private parties, carrying out investigations, participating in the development and enactment of national programs relevant to its mandate, and carrying out projects to further its aims.” Amnesty International has expressed concern about the OEO's limited resources. Originally staffed by two full-time employees and an intern, it now has only one full-time staffer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/EUR31/001/2012/en/18de7469-2228-40f9-a22e-c65f9d85f116/eur310012012en.pdf )〕 Amnesty International's first Universal Periodic Review of Liechtenstein in 2008 called for the establishment of “an ombudsman institution and a national human rights institution in accordance with the Paris Principles,” and a 2012 Amnesty International report regretted Liechtenstein's failure to follow this suggestion and expressed concern “that the alternative mechanisms already in place, including the Office for Equal Opportunity and the planned Ombudsman for children, do not fully meet the criteria by the Paris Principles and are not the appropriate authorities to consider cases of human rights violations.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/EUR31/001/2012/en/18de7469-2228-40f9-a22e-c65f9d85f116/eur310012012en.pdf )〕 A 2012 report by a committee of the Office of the UN's High Commissioner on Human Rights similarly recommended that the Office of Equal Opportunity and other such government agencies in the principality be replaced with “a single independent human rights institution with a broad mandate.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/cerd/docs/CERD.C.LIE.CO.4-6.pdf )〕
