UPR41: Denmark gives UPR-recommendations to the Netherlands
Universal Periodic Review, 41th session
Human Rights Council
UPR of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, 15 November 2022
Intervention by Denmark
Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
In order to lower hate crime rates against LGBTI+-persons, Denmark recommends to:
Optimise law, policy, and practice by appointing discrimination-detectives in line with the government's anti-discrimination policy letter 30 950.284 and by adopting law 35709.6 to increase the percentages of perpetrators being prosecuted and convicted.
The national preventive mechanism set out in the Optional Protocol is a key element in the prevention of torture. Denmark recommends to:
Review the current formation of the mechanism with a view to bringing it fully into line with the guidelines on NPMs and the Paris Principles.
We wish the Kingdom of the Netherlands a successful review.
I thank you.
