UK Statement at Denmark's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The United Kingdom commends Denmark's long‑standing commitment to the protection of human rights, including its strong record on media freedom and civic participation.
We recognise the implementation of consent‑based rape legislation and the adoption of national action plans to combat trafficking in human beings, and racism.
We recommend:
Ensuring effective implementation of the National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings, strengthening victim identification, the non‑punishment of victims, and prosecution of traffickers.
Strengthening implementation of the National Action Plan to Combat Racism, including improved recording and prosecution of hate crimes and protection of all ethnic and religious minorities.
Safeguarding freedom of expression and privacy in the use of digital technologies.
Thank you.
