Thank you, Mr. President,
Greece welcomes the delegation of China and takes note of the developments since the last UPR review, especially towards eliminating absolute poverty, advancing its healthcare and education systems and ratifying key ILO Conventions.
Greece recommends the following:
- Take further measures to prevent the harassment, intimidation and targeting of civil society members, journalists, human rights defenders and lawyers;
- Further ensure the full and unrestricted enjoyment by minorities of their cultural rights and their right to education, as well as protect their cultural diversity, practices and heritage, in implementation of relevant CESCR and CEDAW concluding observations;
- Accelerate the ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;
We wish the delegation of China a successful UPR review.
Thank you
