A/HRC/13/56 recommended effective human rights education programmes with specific attention to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 389. In its concluding statement, the delegation of Cambodia reiterated its gratitude to the intervening States for their constructive comments and critical concerns with regard to the human rights situation in the country. 390. With regard to issues raised by non-governmental organizations, such as land issues and the freedom of expression in Cambodia, the delegation stated that it had already responded to these on many occasions, both during the universal periodic review process and in various treaty body sessions. 391. It commended the universal periodic review process as one that offered the Government an opportunity to assess and reflect on its achievements and shortcomings in the promotion and protection of human rights. The process had laid the groundwork for further implementation of Government policies and plans of action to enhance human rights in Cambodia. Cambodia had learned to share the values of tolerance and freedom in society with all the attributes of its own uniqueness and characteristics of its own to overcome the challenges ahead. These were a source of strength and would lead to progress. 392. The delegation expressed appreciation for the technical assistance and support provided by development partners in its human rights endeavours. It reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to striving for the strengthening of the rule of law and the promotion of good governance, integrity and accountability, as reflected in relevant laws, policies and plans of action of the Government. It also reiterated Cambodia’s commitment to the success of the universal periodic review process and the development of the Council into a true global forum on human rights. Cambodia would thus join other Member States in working constructively on the review of the Council for its further improvement. Norway 393.
