Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of Chile and thanks it for its presentation.
We highly value our close partnership on the prevention of torture, including through CTI. Nevertheless, we note the continued need to address challenges in this regard.
Denmark commends Chile on progress made in advancing women’s rights, including the recent framework law on violence against women. However, we note with concern restrictions on access to legal abortion services, due to its limited scope and the “conscientious objectors” clause.
Denmark recommends Chile to:
1. Extend the scope of Act No. 21.030 to ensure access to abortion in accordance with human rights standards and WHO guidelines.
2. Expedite without further delay the implementation of Act No. 19.253 on the protection, advancement and development of indigenous peoples, and bring it fully in line with ILO Convention 169.
Denmark wishes Chile a successful review.
I thank you.
