A/HRC/27/10 111. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia expressed its dismay at extrajudicial killings and public executions, restrictions on freedom of movement and conditions of detention for political prisoners. 112. Timor-Leste commended the revision of the legislative framework and the adoption of human rights legislation, including on education and children’s and women’s rights. 113. Tunisia encouraged the completion of legislative reform and the establishment of the rule of law. It urged the country to adopt measures to guarantee citizens’ rights without discrimination. 114. Turkey, concerned by the findings of the commission of inquiry, urged the State under review to fulfil its international human rights obligations and to cooperate with the international community. 115. Switzerland deplored the lack of cooperation with human rights mechanisms, and was concerned about impunity for human rights violations and crimes against humanity, chronic malnutrition and violations of the right to food. 116. Japan was concerned about the systematic violations highlighted in the report of the commission of inquiry. It did not agree that there was no abduction issue; the reinvestigation agreed to in 2008 had not been carried out, proving that the abduction issue had not been resolved. 117. The delegation gave details on the laws and structures in place to ensure the independence of the judiciary. It reiterated that, in principle, executions were not open to the public. Public executions may occur only in exceptional cases, where the crime committed was extremely grave. Information was also provided on reforms regarding the imposition of penalties and treatment of prisoners. 118. With regard to questions on illegal border crossing, it was noted that the economic difficulties of the mid-1990s had caused some people to cross the borders illegally. However, although those people had breached the law they were never punished, as they did so for economic reasons. 119. With regard to the abduction of citizens of other countries, the delegation reiterated that no citizens of any countries other than Japan had been abducted into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The delegation recalled that the issue had been completely resolved as a result of sincere efforts made by the country in faithful compliance with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea-Japan Pyongyang Declaration published in September 2002. 120. The delegation provided further information on the improved quality of medical services, including on the introduction of telemedicine and improvements in maternal and child health. 121. The delegation indicated that legislation, including the Criminal Law, protected women from violence. Recommendations to end violence against women were based on a lack of understanding of the situation in the country. 122. The delegation stated that allegations of “systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations” in the country were ridiculous and a complete fabrication. 123. In conclusion, the delegation stated that the session had been a good occasion for a sincere and constructive dialogue and that it would continue its efforts for genuine cooperation in the field of human rights, including in the UPR process. 11
