UPR51 - Saint Lucia
Thursday 22 January, 09:00-12:30 

Mr. President,

Iceland welcomes the delegation of Saint Lucia and its national report.

In the spirit of constructive engagement, Iceland recommends the following:

1. Abolish the death penalty.
2. Ratify the Second Optional Protocol of ICCPR.
3. Strengthen implementation of CSE in and out of school settings.
4. Criminalize marital rape in all circumstances.
5. Eliminate child marriage.
6. Adopt comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation that explicitly prohibits discrimination against persons of diverse SOGIESC
7. Legalize same-sex marriage between consenting adults.
8. Introduce a transparent administrative self-identification process for legal gender recognition free from intrusive requirements.

I wish Saint Lucia all success for its review.

I thank you.
