Recommendation
ADF recommended that Montenegro guarantee full respect for the right to life of girl children, before and after birth, ensure effective enforcement of laws prohibiting abortion on the basis of sex, and adopt policies to tackle circumvention of these laws, strengthen controls on prenatal genetic testing, develop programmes and policies that foster zero tolerance for discriminatory attitudes, and promote awareness-raising to eliminate prejudices perpetuating the culture of son preference. ECLJ stated that Montenegro should continue to seek ways to eradicate the discriminatory culture of sex-selective abortion. [Para 36]
