@HRC41: Yet another damning Report on the blatant Rights violations in Eritrea
2 July 2019
United Nations, GENEVA - Updating the Human Rights Council on Eritrea, UN-appointed Special Rapporteur Daniela Kravetz welcomed the progress Eritrea has made towards a sustainable peace with Ethiopia after signing a peace declaration last July.
But the Eritrean authorities "have not yet engaged in domestic reforms and the human rights situation remains unchanged", Ms. Kravetz maintained.
Main areas of concern include ending indefinite and arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance, the Special Rapporteur said, reforming national military service, strengthening respect for freedom of religion and belief and improving people's freedom of movement.
In response, the Eritrean delegation rejected eight years of resolutions against its country, which it said sought to "vilify, isolate and destabilize" it and further complicate regional security and development. UN news.
