Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of Argentina.
Denmark appreciates the participation of Argentina as an active member of the Human Rights Council. Furthermore, we welcome the measures Argentina has taken to ensure access to legal abortion and look forward to the full implementation of the Act on Access to Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy, which came into force January 2021.
Denmark recommends Argentina to:
1. Ensure full adaptation of the judicial system to the needs of victims of gender-based violence to counter the increasing number of “femicides”, including through providing free specialized legal aid as well as shelters and safe houses for women victims and their children.
2. Guarantee the rights of juveniles in detention facilities and provide good means of reintegration through a national framework across provinces.
Denmark wishes Argentina a successful review.
I thank you.
