Statement by India under Agenda Item 6: Adoption of UPR Outcomes of Saudi Arabia at the 56th Session of Human Rights Council (18 June – 12 July 2024), Permanent Mission of India, Geneva, 4 July 2024

Mr. President,

   India warmly welcomes the delegation of Saudi Arabia for the adoption of the report of the Working Group on its 4th cycle of the Universal Periodic Review held on 22 January 2024.

2.  The review saw substantive and constructive participation with 135 delegations taking the floor and making a total of 354 recommendations. We appreciate the constructive engagement of the delegation of Saudi Arabia during the entire review, which reflects the strong commitment they attach to the UPR process.

3.  We appreciate that as many as 273 recommendations have been accepted (and 24 partially accepted) by Saudi Arabia, including all three recommendations made by us. 

4.  While recommending the adoption of their UPR report, we congratulate the delegation of Saudi Arabia on a successful review and wish them success in their efforts for implementing the accepted recommendations.

I thank you.
