Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 429. Mr. Mamadou Taran Diallo, Minister of Citizenship and National Unity (by video message) affirmed that, in 2010, 2015 and 2020, the Republic of Guinea regularly presented and submitted its achievements in the promotion and protection of human rights to the appreciation of the Human Rights Council. Guinea has worked to implement the recommendations formulated by Member States because these contribute to cementing human rights in the country. 430. In January 2020, 213 recommendations were made to Guinea with a view not only to consolidate the achievement made, but to allow the continuation of the irreversible march towards the construction of a rule of law respectful of human rights. On January 24, 2020, during the conclusion of Guinea’s review, the government delegation requested and obtained that the country be able to take the time to consult all local institutional, political and social actors before deciding on the recommendations. 431. Upon returning home, a vast information and awareness campaign on the recommendations was efficiently organized to allow each of the actors to better understand them and to feel involved and engaged in their implementation. The result of this broad information and consultation with the various stakeholders led to the following position: out of the 213 recommendations made, 203 recommendations were accepted and 10 recommendations were noted. 432. The Government of the Republic of Guinea is committed to implementing the accepted recommendations. The challenges in the area of human rights should be highlighted because these are imperative and the various government need to take them seriously. The absolute condition of peace and justice is the respect of human rights. The quest to make these effective is a struggle for human dignity, freedom and justice for every citizen. It is with honour and determination that the Government of Guinea will lead this fight, by relying on the precious support of all countries. 78
