A/HRC/15/60 519. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland welcomed Grenada’s active participation in the universal periodic review process, and noted that Grenada had accepted a number of recommendations. It would have, however, welcomed Grenada’s response to its recommendation to continue to work to ensure that domestic legislation conformed with international human rights laws, and where necessary, seek the assistance of the international community. Noting the de facto moratorium on the death penalty and the agreement to invite special procedures mandate holders, when resources would allow, the United Kingdom hoped that Grenada would reconsider its recommendations on those two issues before its next review. It valued its close relationship with Grenada and hoped that the two countries could continue to maintain an active dialogue on the issues raised in the report. 520. Morocco thanked Grenada for clarifying its position on the recommendations made during the Working Group session, the strong commitment to human rights and its spirit of openness and frank dialogue demonstrated during the review. Morocco commended Grenada’s efforts, in particular for vulnerable members of the population, such as women, children, the elderly, the disabled and the poor. It welcomed Grenada’s decision to accept almost all of the recommendations made, which reaffirmed the country’s commitment to fulfilling its international obligations. It congratulated Grenada on its efforts to build the capacity of the national human rights institution in accordance with the Paris Principles. Morocco welcomed the strengthening of cooperation between the two countries and expressed strong support for Grenada in its implementation of recommendations. 3. General comments made by other relevant stakeholders 521. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network addressed recommendations 82–86, which called on Grenada to decriminalize same-sex conduct between consenting adults, and noted that, during the Working Group review, Grenada had acknowledged that laws prohibiting consensual same-sex conduct could be viewed as discriminatory, as they took away the freedom of the individual. It also noted the recognition by Grenada that, with time, increasing tolerance would help to address this issue. It welcomed the acknowledgment that consideration needed to be given to repealing such laws, which had a discriminatory impact. It noted that, in 2009, the Human Rights Committee had recommended that Grenada repeal those provisions. The Committee had also noted that such laws ran counter to the implementation of effective education programmes in respect of HIV/AIDS prevention by driving marginalized communities underground. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 522. In response to the additional questions asked regarding the ratification of treaties, Grenada stated that the issue was being reviewed and that no position had yet been taken. With regard to the question of harmonization of internal law, Grenada reiterated that it was considering harmonizing all laws that were not in compliance with its international obligations and that it would work to ensure that international obligations were met. Regarding the question on how many recommendations had been accepted, Grenada explained that most recommendations had been considered positively, with the exception of certain issues, such as the death penalty, corporal punishment and standing invitations. Grenada thanked the participants for their questions. Turkey 523.
