4. The Committee welcomes the State party’s commitment not to extradite an individual to a State where he or she might face a capital sentence.

The State party should continue to review the possibility of the withdrawal of all its reservations to the Covenant.

The State party should bring the provisions governing the powers of derogation into conformity with all the requirements set out in article 4 of the Covenant.

The State party should continue to take effective measures, including by legislative amendments, to address inequality between men and women. It is encouraged to take measures designed to enhance the participation of women in Government and decision-making processes, and to further promote equality of men and women in non-public areas. While noting Liechtenstein’s interpretive declaration concerning article 3 of the Covenant, the State party may wish to consider the compatibility of the State party’s exclusion of women from succession to the throne with articles 25 and 26 of the Covenant.

The State party should take all necessary measures to combat domestic violence, punish offenders and provide material and psychological relief to the victims.

The State party should consider amending the Constitution to ensure that the principle of equality before the law is guaranteed to all individuals under its jurisdiction. The State party should intensify its efforts to combat right-wing extremism and other expressions of xenophobia and religious intolerance.

The State party should ensure that its law on self-defence and the provisions governing the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials fully comply with the requirement of proportionality as reflected in the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials.

The State party should bring its domestic legislation into conformity with articles 9, paragraph 3, and 14, paragraph (3) (d), of the Covenant in relation to these concerns.

The State party should consider amending the mechanism for the appointment of judges to secure tenure, so as to guarantee fully the principle of the independence of the judiciary. The elements to be reviewed should include: the criteria for the appointment of members to the selecting body, the casting vote of the Princely House and the limited nature of tenure.

The State party should review its policies in the allocation of public funds to religious denominations and ensure that all are assigned an equitable part of these funds.

15. The Committee requests the State party to provide, in its next periodic report, due for presentation on 1 August 2009, information concerning the recommendations made as well as further implementation of the Covenant.
