第30回UPR（普遍的・定期的レビュー）対ドイツ審査　志野光子大使ステートメント（平成30年5月8日）

Thank you, Mr. President.

　Japan commends Germany for its initiatives to address women’s rights both on the domestic and international fronts. These include Germany’s assumption of the chairmanship of WPS National Focal Point Network Conference, its revisions of NAP based on the Security Council Resolution 1325, and its amendment of its national law in order to eliminate violence against women. Japan also commends Germany on its efforts to protect children’s rights, including its establishment of a monitoring office to oversee implementation of CRC.

　Japan would like to make the following three recommendations.

　First, Japan recommends that Germany continue its efforts to strengthen its measures for eliminating violence against women.

　Second, noting the rise in violent attacks against the rapidly increasing numbers of refugees and migrants, we recommend that Germany continue to address further integration of refugees and migrants into the society.

　Lastly, on eliminating all forms of discrimination, Japan recommends that Germany continue its efforts to strengthen its awareness-raising programs, including for promoting human rights education.

Japan wishes Germany every success.

I thank you, Mr. President.
