42nd session of the UPR Working Group - Review of Czechia

Recommendations by Sweden delivered by Mr Fredrik Nivaeus, Minister Counselor, Deputy Permanent Representative

President,

Sweden recognises the Czech Republic’s strong commitment to human rights. However, Sweden would like to make the following recommendations:

  1. Strengthen national measures for child protection by enacting legislation that prohibits corporal punishment against children in all settings, including the home.
  2. Ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention) to combat gender-based violence.

Thank you.
