Mr. President,
Iceland welcomes the delegation of Nepal and its national report.
In the spirit of constructive engagement, Iceland recommends the following:

- Ensure universal access to CSE in and out of school settings.
- Protect and promote SRHR and ensure access to sexual and reproductive health services and information.
- Criminalize all forms of gender-based violence.
- Adopt comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation that explicitly prohibits discrimination against persons of diverse SOGIESC.
- Ban conversion therapy.
I wish Nepal all success for its review.
I thank you.
