Highlighting its commitment to the international human rights normative framework, the Spanish delegation mentioned the following instruments to which Spain had recently become a party: the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure, the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention) and the Council of Europe Convention against Trafficking in Human Organs. 126. The delegation emphasized that its institutional commitment was shown by the active support and participation of Spain in the UPR and in all the work of the Human Rights Council, of which Spain had been a member between 2011 and 2013. The membership of Spain in the Security Council from January 2015 was considered to be another opportunity to promote and defend human rights at the multilateral level. 127. The delegation recalled some of the foreign policy priorities of Spain in the area of human rights: the fight against the death penalty and the promotion of a universal moratorium as a first step towards abolition; the fight against gender-based discrimination and discrimination based on sexual orientation; the human right to water and sanitation; the rights of persons with disabilities; business and human rights; and human rights defenders. 128. Each recommendation received would be carefully studied to with a view to setting forth, within a reasonable time frame, the position of the Government. The delegation stated that it would use the right not to express a position immediately, being aware of the importance of thoroughly analysing which commitments could be undertaken. 129. The delegation pointed out that many of the recommendations and questions received arose from the impact of the fiscal adjustment measures taken to combat the economic and financial crisis. It reiterated that the Government was fully aware of the sacrifices that those measures had involved for many people and that it had taken special care to respecting the criteria of necessity, timeliness, non-regression and nondiscrimination. 130. The delegation concluded by reiterating its commitment to the universal periodic review. 13
