A/HRC/15/60 humanitarian agencies to all returnees in resettlement sites at Phalak and Nongsan, in Vientiane Province, and Phonkham, in Borikhamsay Province. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 342. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic expressed its appreciation to all delegates and all representatives of international organizations and non-governmental organizations for their active participation in its review. In spite of the overwhelmingly positive feedback by the international community on the human rights situation, a few non-governmental observers had tried to paint a false, negative picture of the State. This was contrary to the principle of the review, and it firmly refuted these allegations. 343. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic had learned much through the universal periodic review process, which created an opportunity to move forward and promote human rights at the national level, while cooperating with others at the regional level and with the international community so as to advance human rights globally. The State was fully committed to the Charter of the United Nations and the promotion and protection of human rights through the implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the treaties to which it was a party, or would become in the future. 344. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic looked forward to continuing cooperation and exchange of experience on human rights with the international community, and hoped that the latter would continue to support its efforts, including with regard to the implementation of recommendations. The Lao People’s Democratic Republic would continue to engage in the process in a responsible way and play an active role in the international human rights community with a view to making a greater contribution to international human rights development.
