Chapter III. PLEDGES tional guarantees of freedom of movement for persons who were granted refugee status in the Republic of Belarus. This year, is launched the National Programme of Demographic Security for 2011-2015, which sets a strategy for the near future, including the integration of migrants and refugees in the Belarusian society. Priority attention is given to teaching refugees the state languages, carrying out information campaigns, and adopting legal and organizational, socio-economic and various other measures for their integration. In our country, concrete measures are being taken to reduce statelessness, including legislative measures, allowing the creation of a steady trend of reducing the number of stateless persons permanently residing in the country. By the end of 2013, we expect that this trend will be strengthened through the implementation of measures aimed at facilitating the acquisition of Belarusian citizenship by this category of individuals. BELGIUM PLEDGE FORM Belgium will maintain and further develop its solid asylum system, which is built on high standards of quality and efficiency. The asylum system guarantees full and effective access to those wishing to apply for international protection. We will further work on minimising delays by a thorough investigation of the asylum process in order to streamline the process. This must result in faster decision-making without sacrificing our high quality standards. Belgium has a well-developed research centre for country of origin information and will further professionalize its functioning, e.g. by increasing transparency in the future and increasing access to the information used by the general public, including asylum-seekers. Belgium developed in the past a system that gives special attention to gender-based files, e.g. by creating a gender unit. Similarly, special assistance is given to unaccompanied minor asylum-seekers. In this context, Belgium pledges to take further measures to limit the detention of this group. Belgium will also further invest in training programmes on issues such as gender, unaccompanied minors and credibility assessment, notably by further implementing the training modules of the European Asylum Curriculum, recently taken over by the European Asylum Support Office. 53
