Thank you,

The United Kingdom welcomes Malta바카라 사이트檚 strong record on human rights, including on LGBT+ rights. Malta바카라 사이트檚 commitment to the rights of LGBT+ people was further evidenced last year during their successful hosting of EuroPride.

The United Kingdom also notes the continued efforts of the Maltese government to deliver reforms regarding media freedom and the rule of law. In particular the United Kingdom recognises Malta바카라 사이트檚 efforts to deliver against the recommendations of the public inquiry into the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.聽

We recommend that Malta:

1. Review progress against all the recommendations of the public inquiry into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia to make clear what the next steps will be.

2. To continue to drive progress on gender issues, in particular women바카라 사이트檚 rights, as well as use their seat on the UNSC to advocate for Women, Peace and Security.

Thank you.
