Some UN member states try to unilaterally impose the western values and "rules based international order" upon sovereign states behind the signboard of "defending democracy" and "protecting human rights". Such an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs is a gross violation of the principle of sovereign equality.

As a member elected for the second term in UN Human Rights Council, we continue to add value through apolitical and impartial approach to human rights

We call on all concerned parties in Myanmar to respect the will of the people, restore the democratic and constitutional process, and uphold the fundamental rights and freedom of the Myanmar’s people.

Weurge all parties involved to ensure peace, security, and stability so that the Afghan people can live in dignity and enjoy their fundamental rights and freedom.We also urge Afghanistan to engage with the international community on the basis ofthe principles of the UN Charter and norms of international law.

Trinidad and Tobago remains unwavering in its commitment to the mandate and mission of the International Criminal Court, in the interest of banishing the worst forms of human rights abuses and violations from our civilization. We urge those States which are not yet members of the Court to subscribe to it in order to achieve universality.

Нельзя обойти вниманием еще одну тему, которая уже набила оскомину из-за спекуляций вокруг нее, –тему прав человека.Казалось бы, позитивная повестка для всех. Но сегодня правочеловеческая проблематика является не простоопасной игрушкой в руках неумелых и недальновидных политиков, онасталареальным оружиемпротив неугодных и непослушных стран

We pay tribute to all those who have worked bravely and with conviction towards a peaceful and safe future for the country, in particular the women and girls who have been fighting for the full enjoyment of whole human rights and fundamental freedoms. We call upon those who effectively exercise control to fully respect their rights and freedomsespecially therights to quality education and work,as well as freedom of movement.

Three years ago, my country, Ethiopia embarked on a promising journey of reform. The changes we introduced, ushered-in democracy, human rights, human development, and regional stability. It also opened avenues for dialogue and unity among divergent political and interest groups.

Solomon Islands is also committed to ratifying UNCRC Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution,child pornography, andseveral other Human Rights Conventions

Our historic decision to join the European and Euro-Atlantic family is the core principle that guides our Foreign Policy. Especially since 2012, Georgia has made great strides in advancing democracy, human rights and the rule of law. All are fundamental values we share with European institutions.

I call on the Secretary-General to convene a global dialogue on countering the rise of Islamophobia. Our parallel efforts, at the same time,should be to promote interfaith harmony, and they should continue

appareil judiciaire comorien //doit demeurer la perche que tend l’Etat aux plus faibles pour les défendre des plus forts, //aux plus démunis pour les protéger dans leurs droits, //face à une recrudescence et à une montée de la violence, //notamment à l’endroit des femmes, des enfants et de toutes les couches vulnérables. De tels actes doivent être réprimés sévèrement

We have to make sure that our human centric approach applies online as well as offline. New technologies are no new frontier where human rights do not exist!

They are the ones which give individuals freedom and the capacity to live up to their potential: Rationalism, rule of law, equality, human rights and liberal democracy.

here can be no blank checks for the Taliban! Fundamental rights and freedoms, in particular for women and girls, are simply non-negotiable! We have to do everything to prevent Afghanistan from turning into a black hole with the capacity to destabilise the whole region. And we have to drive home the message to the Taliban that the world’s eyes are on them. We don’t want Afghanistan to turn into an incubator or a safe haven for international terrorism and extremism.

e cannot turn our back on the people of Afghanistan! The consequences would be felt, above all, by the millions of women and girls, human rights defenders and minorities who face an uncertain future. We have to remain engaged and we have to offer the urgently needed humanitarian aid.

We have to send them all the clear message that our fight for human rights, our engagement for fundamental freedoms know no lockdown.

In the Human Rights Council, the Czech Republic voted against the establishment of an ongoing Commission of Inquirywith a rather vaguely defined geographical scope. Israel, a democratic country with an independent legal system, has appropriate means to effectively confront and address human rights violations

Let me underscore one strand of hatred as especially despicable: the rising antisemitism and the Holocaust denial.

We echothe Secretary General’s Call to Action for Human Rights and we agree that an adequate fundingof the UN human rights pillar from the UN regular budget must be secured

technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, remain an enablerof human progress rather than a tool for surveillance, oppression and control.

Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated negative trends in the protection of human rightsworldwide. More than ever, we need to ensure respect for civic participation, the independent media and civil society

he Czech Republic strongly condemns the use of violence and intimidationagainst protesters, journalists and human rights defenders. We are particularly concerned by actions of the Taliban directed against women and girls.

Italy is committedto continuingto work to promote the universal valuesof peaceand development, and the protection and promotion of human rights.These are not only atthe core of the UN's action, but they are also the basisof the Italian Constitution, the European Union andthe transatlantic bond.

AsG20Presidency, we have made available the G20 platform, which is broad and inclusive by nature. Wehavepromoted a meeting of MinistersofForeignAffairs, in preparation for the extraordinary summit, which will focus on issues of humanitarian aid, security and human rights

The international community must standunited in demanding that all Afghan citizens can live in dignity, peace and security; that the protection of vulnerable groups is ensured;that women preservetheir fundamental rights, first of all the right to education.

We regrettably note that some Member States have relegated to the back burner critical issues of development, giving priority instead to security issues. To move in unison, the international community should strive to advance theglobal development, human rights and security agendas simultaneously.

Lesotho acknowledges progress achieved in other parts of the world to fight against racism, however, it remains a major concern that the plague persists in all parts of the world and a vast number of human beings continue to be victims to this date.

It remains a responsibility for all Member States, to pursue a common goal of ensuring the effectiveness and enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all. It is however, disturbing that in conflict-stricken regions, particularly inarmed conflict, civilians still endure inhumane treatment that is in violation of laws and regulations established to protect humankind.Lesotho condemns all forms of attacks to the civilian populations and urge parties involved in any form of conflict, to cease aggressions and engage in talks genuinely aimed at achieving a long-lasting solution and promoting human rights for all.

Let us restore hope and belief in the UN, by restoring hope and belief in ourselves and in international solidarity. Let us rebuild trust in one another by bridging the inequality gaps within and between nations, reducing marginalisation, eradicating racism, xenophobia and all other forms of discrimination, and instilling tolerance among our peoples

In recalling our commitments to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related treaties, let us remind ourselves that the most vulnerable people –those living in dire conditions and facing seemingly insurmountable crises –require special attention and help

12In January of this year, Kazakhstan ratified the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, abolishing the death penalty.In June, the Government approved a Comprehensive Plan for Human Rights Protection,laying down a long-term institutional framework

In close collaboration with our internationalpartners, we are working hard to eliminate human trafficking, which requires extraordinary globalcooperation.We are a candidate for membership on theUN Human Rights Council for 2022 -2024. If elected, Kazakhstan will strive to make a real contribution to the Council.

Administration has launched four blocks of essential democratic reformsto strengthen human rights, the rule of law, and anti-corruption.

And we are alarmed and saddened by recent developments in Afghanistan. In the past two decades, Afghans have seen a significant progress in the human rights situation. Health care systems have been improved and millions of children have received an education. These hard-won gainsmust be protected. We are now particularly concerned about the rights of women and girls, and peoplebelonging to religious, ethnic, sexual and gender minorities.

The decline in democracy and respect for human rights should be of concern to us all. We are seeinggrave human rights violations in many parts of the world. In Venezuela. The atrocities and conflict in Tigray. The deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation in Myanmar, including for the Rohingyas. To mention a few. We count on the Security Council and regional organisations to play aproactive role.

Iwould like to assert here today that democracy is the only form of government thatguarantees the defense and protection of human rights and of individual freedoms and that it will continueto bethe compass andthe guiding lightofour action

his is the only way for us to work better toward the implementation of the Agenda 2030, the goal of which is to promote human development in all of its aspects, particularly gender equality and respect for Human Rights.

herefore, for this reasonthe Dominican Republic is a strong advocate of democracy and human rights, which implies strengthening checks and balances to the executive branch, such as an independent judiciary, whose decisions will be widely respected by everyone.

This change is only possible from a global and multilateral effort that guarantees the rule of law, human rights and the well-being of all people,leaving no one behind

mr president we continue to remove threats to democratic freedoms and human rights we have repealed a half a century old seditious libel law no politician or rights activist is imprisoned for expressing his or her beliefs no journalist is imprisoned for the practice of journalism in syria we have abolished the death penalty in our nation

violation of human rights by governmentsthat belong to this organizationand we're clear that they're respectfulof the principle of non-intervention weare respectful of that but we also needto understandthatwe cannot remain silent about theseviolations we must announce them

As a so called “oasis of democracy” in the region, Mongolia has been closely observing human rights issues stemmed from the pandemic lockdown.The fact that Mongolia and many other Asian countries have been going through the COVID-19 crisis without substantial human rights conflicts disclosesthe advantage of communalisticculture of Asians over the individualistic one. I firmly believe that respecting each other’s culture and value,as well aslearning from each other’s successes and failures are of utmost importancein collectively overcoming the challenges that humanity may face in the future. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has placed an enormous strain onthe global health, particularly inhuman resource, infrastructure and supply chain, andwith the lingering spread of COVID-19 infection, the reality of social injustice has been revealedvividly.

On this occasion, I would like to remind everyone that discrimination based on a person’s ethnic origin is one of the forms of racial discrimination as set out in Item 1 of the Article 1 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination adopted by the United Nations in 1966.

I emphasize the protection of human rights as the next great value.

with this realization our administration will work towards strengthening of oversight governance institutionsand ensure the independence and autonomy of the three arms of government particularly the legislature and the judiciary the fight against corruption will be at the center of our transformation agenda and this shall be expected to be executed with zero tolerance to corruption zero tolerance to corruption we shall also promote free media and an active civil society as they are critical in upholding checks and balances human rights liberties and freedoms

En lo que hace a los derechos de las diversidades, hemos avanzado en medidas históricas de ampliación y reconocimiento de derechos como la aprobación de la Ley del Cupo Laboral Travesti-Trans, que estipula que el Estado nacional deberá garantizar un mínimo del 1% de su planta laboral para personas travestis, transexuales y transgénero, y el decreto que prevé la emisión de documentos nacionales de identidad que reconocen las identidades no binarias.

La crisis originada por el COVID-19 es también una crisis de derechos humanos.La pandemia ha agudizado la violencia contra las mujeres, ha intensificado la estigmatización de los migrantes, las personas afro descendientes, las minorías étnicas, las personas LGBTIQ+, los adultos mayores, las personas con discapacidad, y ha ocasionado un grave impacto en los Pueblos Indígenas. Tenemos el desafío de construir un nuevo comienzo en favor de sociedades más justas, inclusivas e igualitarias.La prevención y la alerta temprana ante situaciones que podrían derivar en violaciones masivas de derechos humanos, así como en crímenes de lesa humanidad o genocidios, debe ser una de las labores principales de las Naciones Unidas. La Argentina se encuentra firmemente comprometida a avanzar hacia la universalización de la Convención Internacional para la Protección de todas las Personas contra las Desapariciones Forzadas, instrumento crucial para la lucha contra la impunidad. Actualmente trabajamos junto aFrancia en una 3ra campaña de universalización de la Convención para que más Estados la ratifiquen, con el objetivo de llegar a 100 ratificaciones en el año 2025

to respond to the pandemic, to seek international peace and security, to galvanise climate action, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in this Decade of Action, to ensure the centrality of human rights, to promote gender equality, and to deal with the challenges of digital transformation.

Morethan ever, human rightsneed to be a strategic priority for the UN.36.Over the past year, we have witnessed negative developments inregard tobasic human rights and security issues, for examplein Myanmarand Tigray

Withregardtothe UN Sustainable Development Goals, we are especially committed to promoting peace, justice and good governance. 33.It is good governance that is crucial for respect for all human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law

At the same time, we must bearin mind that digital transformationand artificial intelligenceposes new risks.Also, security threats in cyberspace are increasing.16.Therefore, in parallel with technological developments, we must work actively to define new legal principles. 17.On the one hand these principles should help us make the best use of opportunitiesand, on the other, to avoid risksand damage to human rights and freedoms.

We reiterate, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, did a few days ago, our deep concern about the human rights situation in Nicaragua. We are concerned about the imprisonment of political opponents, journalists, and students. We call for democratic institutions, respect and promotion of human rights, freedom of expression, and the press to have the proper conditions in that brother country

The Bicentennialcelebrationof Costa Rica ́s Independence has reminded us of that reality of interdependence. An interdependence that makes us look back and support Haiti in these challenging times as the first country in the Americas to end slavery .41.That same perspective makes us raise our voices to stop unilateral measures contrary to international law which affect the Cuban people and demand that the exercise of the fundamental rights of every Cuban citizen be respected

The founding ethos of the United Nations places the rights of individuals at the center of our system, and that clarity and vision must not be ignored or misinterpreted. The United States will do our part, but we will be more successful and more impactful if all of our nations are working toward the full mission to which we are called.  That’s why more than 100 nations united agai- — around a shared statement and the Security Council adopted a resolution outlining how we’ll support the people of Afghanistan moving forward, laying out the expectations to which we will hold the Taliban when it comes to respecting universal human rights. 

As new technologies continue to evolve, we’ll work together with our democratic partners to ensure that new advances in areas from biotechnology, to quantum computing, 5G, artificial intelligence, and more are used to lift people up, to solve problems, and advance human freedom — not to suppress dissent or target minority communities.

We’re engaging with regional institutions — from ASEAN to the African Union to the Organization of American States — to focus on people’s urgent needs for better health and better economic outcomes.  We’re back at the table in international forums, especially the United Nations, to focus attention and to spur global action on shared challenges.  We are reengaged at the World Health Organization and working in close partnership with COVAX to deliver lifesaving vaccines around the world.  We rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, and we’re running to retake a seat on the Human Rights Council next year at the U.N.

Will we apply and strengthen the core tenets of inter- — of the international system, including the U.N. Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as we seek to shape the emergence of new technologies and deter new threats?  Or will we allow these universal — those universal principles to be trampled and twisted in the pursuit of naked political power? 

Will we affirm and uphold the human dignity and human rights under which nations in common cause, more than seven decades ago, formed this institution?

My country promotes the imperative of combating discrimination and hate-speech, including anti-Semitism.

Such cases when political activists and human rights defenders are tortured and killed must be carefullyinvestigated

Afin de rétablir la confiance et raviver l’espoir, nous devons placer les droits humains au cœur de nos efforts pour que l’avenir numérique de tous soit sûr, équitable et ouvert.
