第52回普遍的・定期的レビュー（UPR）作業部会対ベルギー王国審査における金津尚志書記官ステートメント（2026年5月6日）

   Thank you, Mr. Vice-President.

   Japan warmly welcomes the delegation of Belgium to this session.
 
   Japan appreciates Belgium’s efforts to eliminate discrimination and promote social inclusion, particularly with regard to the rights of women, LGBTQIA+ persons, and ethnic minorities. We also commend Belgium’s investment in education and awareness-raising, including on combating cyberhate, to foster respect for diversity and human rights within its society.

   In a spirit of constructive dialogue, Japan would like to make two recommendations:

   

1. intensify efforts to eradicate inequalities and to address economic disparities that contribute to social exclusion; and
2. strengthen human rights protections within the judiciary and law enforcement sectors to ensure justice and accountability.

   We wish the delegation of Belgium every success in the review.

   I thank you.
