A/HRC/21/4
131. Turning to the positive comments made by Sri Lanka, the delegation added that the
new Constitution adopted in 2008 had been categorized as the greenest on the planet,
setting forth principles such as the rights of nature, a precautionary approach ensuring the
avoidance of any action the impact of which might be uncertain, and avoiding acting purely
on grounds of economic growth. Ecuador was committed to safeguarding its extensive
national park areas and had decided not to exploit its oil reserves as its contribution to
ensure shared responsibility for tackling the climate crisis.
132. The delegation reiterated its invitation for independent experts and special
rapporteurs to visit Ecuador to see how human rights were implemented and the extent to
which facilities had been made available to all human rights defenders, for which Ecuador
had been congratulated by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights
defenders.
133. Ecuador extended an invitation, open to all, to visit Ecuador to experience its
hospitality and to see all its achievements.
