Monaco presented
its consolidated 2nd and 3rd periodic report on the situation
of the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the country.
The consolidated 4th to 6th periodic report is expected
by January 2019.
IBFAN did not present any
report.
Discussion on infant and young child feeding
The issue of breastfeeding has not been addressed by
the CRC Committee during its dialogue with the government delegation. The
delegation instead mentioned health care issues and claimed that the Government
has established prevention and information programmes to ensure the healthy
upbringing of children. Pregnant women receive a medical follow-up and enjoy a
special regime at work.
Concluding
Observations
In its Concluding Observations, the CRC
Committee has made no specific recommendation on breastfeeding to the government
delegation.
In par. 37 and 38 regarding health care and services, the Committee asked Monaco to pay
attention to its General Comment no. 15 (2013), which insists
on “the
right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of
health, and recommends that the State party undertake all necessary measures,
including legislative measures, to ensure that all children, including
non-nationals, enjoy the same access and quality of health services”.
