The Permanent Mission of Japan in Geneva
13 November 2019

Thank you, Mr. President.

　Japan commends Egypt’s commitment to integrating the promotion and protection of women’s rights into its national strategy in line with the SDGs. We appreciate Egypt’s cooperative and generous position on acceptance of refugees. We also appreciate its measures to promote equality, tolerance and peaceful coexistence of different religious groups, including Christians.

　Japan would like to make the following recommendations:

1. take further measures to promote and protect women’s rights;

2. continue and strengthen policies to protect and promote the rights of refugees and minorities; and

3. continue to take concrete measures to eliminate discrimination against, and stigmatization of, persons affected by leprosy and their families.

　We wish the Delegation of Egypt every success in this review.

I thank you, Mr. President.
