The Republic of Korea welcomes the commendable steps China has taken to ameliorate poverty in rural areas and enhance the environmental rights of its citizens.
We recommend that China provide adequate protection to escapees of foreign origin including the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We also recommend that China respect relevant international norms such as the principle of non-refoulement.
We further recommend that China consider adopting a national refugee law as part of its efforts to implement the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Lastly, we recommend that China take steps toward ratifying the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
I thank you.
