第53回普遍的・定期的レビュー（UPR）作業部会対ハンガリー審査における遠藤智参事官ステートメント

Thank you, Mr. Vice-President.
 
Japan extends a warm welcome to the delegation of Hungary.
 
Japan welcomes the lifting of the state of emergency under the new government inaugurated this year.
 
We appreciate the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure freedom of expression, including media freedom, and to improve civic space.
 
We also commend the establishment of the Ministry of Education and Child Affairs and the ongoing institutional reforms in the fields of education and health to strengthen protection of the rights of women and children.
 
Japan would like to make two recommendations:
 

1. ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance; and
    
2. review the restrictions on human rights introduced under the state of emergency to ensure consistency with international human rights law.
    

We wish the delegation of Hungary every success in the review.
 
I thank you.
