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.

Type:RecommendationSession:34th Session, November 2019Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Take the necessary measures to strengthen the legal framework against discrimination, in particular by passing a comprehensive legislation covering all grounds of discrimination, including gender identity.
ExplanationNoted …. it is considered that there is no need to specifically include gender identity between the grounds for discrimination, since Article 4 of the “Declaration on the Citizens’ Rights and Fundamental Principles of San Marino Constitutional Order” already provides for a comprehensive prohibition of unequal treatment or discrimination with the wording “All shall be equal before the law, without any distinction based on [...] personal status”.
