The ICJ delivered its statement today during the adoption by the UN Human Rights Council of the Universal Periodic Review outcome document on Indonesia, during the course of the 21st regular session of the Council.
The ICJ recalls the three main issues proposed by a number of civil society organizations as priorities for the Working Group. These priority issues are: (1) to explore the further development of international standards; (2) to improve access to remedies, and in particular access to justice for victims of human rights abuses; and (3) to address the impact of business on indigenous people and other vulnerable groups.
The ICJ urges the Human Rights Council and the Working Group to:
pay special attention to the need for State regulation of corporations and other business enterprises;
pay special attention to the need to ensure access to justice and effective remedies and reparations to victims;
ensure its activities do not foreclose the elaboration of further international standards and;
take fully into account the Maastricht Principles in their work.
The ICJ today called upon the Tunisian authorities to take immediate steps to ensure the rights of victims of human rights violations to effective remedies and to reparation.
Serious failures in the criminal investigation have denied justice in the case of disappeared Muslim lawyer Somchai Neelapaichit in Thailand, the ICJ said in a new report released today.
