Madam President,

We warmly welcome the delegation of Andorra for the adoption of the Working Group’s report on its UPR undertaken on 05 November, 2020.

2.  The review saw active participation and constructive engagement with 46 delegations taking the floor and making 104 recommendations. We take note that Andorra has accepted 60 recommendations including 1 recommendation made by India. We also note that Andorra has taken note of our other two recommendations and we hope that Andorra would be able to implement these recommendations and sign and ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and join the International Labor Organization.

3.  While recommending the adoption of the report, we congratulate the delegation of Andorra for its successful review. We also wish Andorra all success in implementing the accepted recommendations.

Thank you, Madam President.
