A/HRC/45/2 VI. Universal Periodic Review 378. Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/251, Human Rights Council resolutions 5/1 and 16/21, Council decision 17/119 and President’s statements 8/1 and 9/2 on modalities and practices for the universal periodic review process, the Council considered the outcome of the reviews conducted during the thirty-fifth session of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review, held from 20 to 31 January 2020. 379. At the opening of agenda item 6 on 28 September 2020, the Vice-President recalled that, pursuant to the Council decision taken at the forty-fourth session, the adoption of the outcomes of twelve States out of the fourteen, who were examined during the thirty-fifth session, namely, Kyrgyzstan, Guinea, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lesotho, Kenya, Armenia, Guinea-Bissau, Sweden, Grenada, Turkey, Kiribati and Guyana, had been postponed to the forty-fifth session, based on the expressed agreement by or in the absence of objections from these States, as one of the extraordinary measures to be applied during the forty-fourth session. The Vice-President also recalled that the outcomes of the other two States, namely, Kuwait and Spain, had been considered and adopted at the forty-fourth session. 380. The Vice-President furthermore referred to the meeting of the Bureau on 25 September 2020, during which the secretariat of the universal periodic review informed the Bureau that they had to date not received the official positions of Guinea-Bissau and Guyana on the recommendations received during their reviews and that Guinea-Bissau had requested a postponement of the adoption of its outcome to a date later in the forty-fifth session of the Council. The Vice-President indicated that the two States had subsequently submitted their positions on the recommendations, however, that some clarifications and time for translation were still needed. The Vice-President therefore proposed to the Council a postponement of the adoptions of their outcomes to Monday 5 October 2020, in order to avoid a situation where a clear position on each recommendation would not have been received from either of these two States at the time of their adoptions. There was no objection from the Member States of the Council, and it was so decided. 381. In accordance with resolution 5/1, the Vice-President recalled that all recommendations must be part of the final outcome of the universal periodic review and accordingly, the State under review should clearly communicate its position on all recommendations by indicating that it either “supports” or “notes” them. A. Consideration of universal periodic review outcomes 382. In accordance with paragraph 14 of President’s statement 8/1, section 1 below contains a summary of the views expressed on the outcome of the review by the State under review and by Member and observer States of the Council, as well as general comments made by other stakeholders before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary. Kyrgyzstan 383.
