Thank you, Madam President.
The United Kingdom welcomes Mongolia바카라 사이트™s engagement with the Universal Periodic Review process. The UK commends Mongolia on the progress made since its last review and we remain committed to continue helping Mongolia strengthen human rights and democratic institutions.
We welcome Mongolia바카라 사이트™s acceptance of all three of our recommendations and urge Mongolia to work to implement these. Namely, to strengthen domestic legislation to ensure all forms of modern slavery are criminalised, including criminalising human trafficking in line with the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children; to adopt an open, merit-based process when selecting national candidates for UN Treaty Body elections; and to Protect freedom of expression by abolishing article 6.21 of the Law on Administrative Offences.
The UK also welcomes Mongolia바카라 사이트™s commitment at the UPR to implement activities aimed at protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, migrant workers, stateless persons and persons with disabilities. We commend Mongolia바카라 사이트™s gender equality record and support its 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트™s efforts to end violence against women and girls and increase women바카라 사이트™s economic empowerment. It is important to commit government resources to ensure that Mongolia바카라 사이트™s existing anti-discrimination laws are fully implemented.
Thank you.
