Mr. President,
Iceland welcomes the delegation of China and its national report.
In a constructive spirit, Iceland recommends the following:
- Ratify the ICCPR.
- Abolish the death penalty and ratify ICCPR’s Second Optional Protocol.
- Enforce the 2016 Anti-Domestic Violence Law, and investigate and prosecute domestic violence cases.
- End violations of reproductive rights and coercive enforcement of family planning policies, including those in Xinjiang.
- Remove restrictions on freedom of expression and press freedom, including on SOCIESC-related media content, and allow registration of SOGIESC CSOs.
I wish China all success for its review.
I thank you.
