102. The head of the delegation of Liechtenstein thanked all the delegations that had
participated in the universal periodic review for their valuable comments and
recommendations.
103. Although there was no Islamophobia or discrimination against Muslims in
Liechtenstein, the Government would continue to monitor the situation in that regard.
104. The Government had adopted draft amendments to legislation on political funding,
in line with the recommendations of the Council of Europe Group of States against
Corruption, and public consultations were ongoing in that regard.
105. Liechtenstein was committed to the International, Impartial and Independent
Mechanism for the Syrian Arab Republic, the International Criminal Court and the
Amendments to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on the crime of
aggression, which it had been the first country to ratify, in 2012.
106. In the very near future, the competent authorities would examine the universal
periodic review recommendations in detail, in order to make proposals to the Government
on how to follow up the process concretely. Maintaining the highest standards of human
rights was of the utmost importance to the Government. The recommendations formulated
during the interactive dialogue had shown Liechtenstein that work remained to be done.
107. The head of delegation stated that she was personally committed to ensuring an
ambitious follow-up process to the recommendations, in which Liechtenstein planned to
involve civil society.
