发言内容：
Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you, Assistant Secretary General for presenting the report.
The United States shares your concerns about increasing reprisals against human rights defenders, journalists, lawyers, and other civil society actors and members of marginalized groups, including Indigenous persons, women, youth, LGBTQI+, and racial minorities, who face intimidation, smear campaigns, interrogation, travel bans, and imprisonment for engaging with the United Nations.
There is credible and extensive reporting of this practice around the world, and we urge Member States to publicly condemn reprisals against individuals who engage with the UN.
Moreover, we are deeply concerned by acts of transnational repression carried out by states like the People’s Republic of China, DPRK, Russia, and Iran.
These actions must be investigated, and states held accountable for threats, harassment, intimidation, detention, torture, violent attacks, and/or assassination of individuals outside their sovereign borders.
Family members of dissidents from Iran, the PRC, and DPRK continue to be arrested as retaliation for the activity of dissidents and escapees.
Madam Assistant Secretary-General, how can Member States support efforts to address restrictive legislation that prevents and punishes cooperation with the UN?
I thank you.
