Intervention by Denmark



[Check against delivery]

Mr. President, 

Denmark welcomes the delegation of France.

We welcome the efforts to improve the living conditions of detainees while noting that further efforts are needed.

Given the stakeholder submissions on discriminatory practices of law enforcement as well as infringements of the right to protest and freedom of assembly, Denmark recommends France to:

1. Explore options for effective measures to provide better safeguards for the freedom to demonstrate, such as reviewing police doctrine.

Denmark recognizes the efforts to provide affordable housing, however still recommends France to:

2. Strengthen housing assistance mechanisms for low-income persons and investigate options to strengthen the rights of renters against evictions.

Denmark wishes France a successful review.

I thank you.
