Type:Review DocumentationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:N/AContents:San Marino has actively participated in the Pan-European Campaign to Prevent and Combat Violence Against Women, including Domestic Violence, promoted by the Council of Europe (November 2006 – June 2008), and has joined the Campaign on violence against women launched by the United Nations on 25 February 2008. In the context of these campaigns, San Marino has strengthened and introduced measures aimed at combating the social phenomenon of violence. One of the main results of the Council of Europe Campaign was the approval of Law No. 97 of 20 June 2008, “Prevention and Repression of Violence against Women and Gender Violence”. The new Law punishes any act resulting in physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to the victim, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty. It introduces important new elements in San Marino constitutional order: besides respect for victims’ integrity and confidentiality, it also sets forth specific provisions in the Criminal Code concerning reducing or holding in slavery or servitude, gang violence, stalking, mobbing and human trafficking, as well as protection measures for victims in criminal proceedings, namely protection and reporting orders. This Law has also established the Authority for Equal Opportunities, which is responsible for collecting data on violence against women and gender violence on a six-month basis. The Authority consists of three members appointed by the Great and General Council chosen among legal experts, representatives of non-governmental organisations active in the field of gender equality, experts in communication and psychology [Paras 38-40] -

Type:Review DocumentationSession:34th Session, November 2019Status:Reference AddressedContents:The HR Committee noted with concern that the voluntary termination of pregnancy was an offence under the Criminal Code, reportedly leading women to seek abortions abroad, which could put their life and health at risk. While noting the information from San Marino that a “state of necessity” was provided for in article 42 of the Criminal Code as a justification exempting from punishment anyone forced to commit an offence in order to protect himself or herself or others from the risk of serious personal harm, the Committee was concerned that no exceptions to the general legal ban on abortion were explicitly recognized in the Criminal Code.

- Rights of same-sex desiring persons
Type:RecommendationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:RejectedContents:To take further steps to ensure the equal protection of the rights of persons in non-traditional family models, such as unmarried partners, cohabitants and same-sex civil partners.ExplanationThe special role played by the family has always been recognised in the Republic of San Marino, since it is a fundamental and highly valuable unit of society. According to the family law presently in force, family is based on marriage, which is defined as the "union between a man and a woman, based on the free and responsible choice and on the moral and legal equality of both partners" (Art. 1 of Law no. 49 of 26 April 1986). The San Marino Welfare State provides for several social benefits and assistance measures to support also non-conventional family models. However, there are still differences between traditional family models based on marriage and other models. Therefore, the Republic of San Marino is not in a position to accept Recommendations 28/29/30.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 73) San Marino continues to protect the institution of the family, understood as a union between a man and a woman which includes children born or adopted during the marriage ...

Type:RecommendationSession:20th session, November 2014Status:AcceptedContents:Ensure respect for minorities, especially sexual minorities.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 29) The fundamental principle of equality expressed in Art. 4 of the Declaration on the Citizens’ Rights is further applied in concrete terms in Law no. 66 of 28 April 2008 "Provisions on racial, ethnic, religious and sexual discrimination", which supplemented the provisions of the current Criminal Code. A new offence was introduced with Article 179 bis, which punishes anyone disseminating by any means ideas based on racial or ethnic superiority or hatred, or inciting someone to commit, or committing discriminatory acts on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or sexual orientation. This offence can be prosecuted ex officio. Article 179 bis was then amended with Law no. 57 of 6 May 2016 "Rules adjusting San Marino legal system to the provisions of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence" by introducing the prohibition of discrimination based on gender identity.
Para 28) … Moreover, Article 235 of the Criminal Code has been amended in relation to family maltreatment, also introducing the offence of domestic violence, and Article 179 bis of the Criminal Code has been supplemented with the prohibition to discriminate based on gender identity.
Para 46) As already mentioned, Law no. 57/2016 introduced the prohibition of discrimination based on gender identity.
Para 47) With Law no. 147 of 20 November 2018, San Marino has introduced a completely new and modern institution, mainly for the protection of same-sex couples, i.e. the "Law regulating civil registered partnerships", under which the legal system recognises equal dignity, rights and safeguards to civilly registered partners, both homosexual and heterosexual couples, compared to married ones. Citizens who decide to register their partnership civilly, in accordance with the aforementioned Law and its Regulation, acquire the same status as married couples in terms of residence and succession, cohabitation, mutual assistance, inheritance rights and other matters, whether the couple is of the same sex or of a different sex.
Para 48) Sexual education programmes are carried out in schools at all levels where education is compulsory, accompanied by emotional education programmes: these two aspects are never separated from each other in view of an integrated and complex education. Moreover, in this regard, programmes are implemented concerning education on respect for others, non-violence, as well as inclusion and solidarity amongst peers. The “Curriculum of education to citizenship” has been introduced as part of the ongoing reform of San Marino school curricula. This curriculum expressly provides for knowledge of LGBT rights.
UN Compilation:
Para 9) While taking note of the existing legal provisions against discrimination, the Human Rights Committee was concerned that San Marino had not yet adopted comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation and that articles 90 and 179 bis of the Criminal Code relating to discrimination only referred to discrimination based on racial, ethnic, national, religious and sexual orientation grounds and not other grounds for discrimination, such as gender identity.
Para 11) The OHCHR Regional Office for Europe noted with concern that same-sex couples did not have the right to adopt children, marry or obtain another form of legal recognition of their relationships in San Marino.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 18) CHR of CoE observed that while discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes on the basis of sexual orientation had thus become criminal offences, no similar provision existed for gender identity or sex characteristics. The Commissioner also observed that there was no constitutional or other provision expressly providing for equality before the law irrespective of sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics, nor specific civil or administrative law provisions explicitly prohibiting discrimination on these grounds in the field of employment, access to goods or services, or any other area.
