A/HRC/41/6/Add.1 Views on conclusions and/or recommendations, voluntary commitments and replies presented by Chile in the framework of the third cycle of the universal periodic review 1. The Government of Chile, represented by a high-level delegation composed of members drawn from all branches of government, took part in its third universal periodic review on 22 January 2019. For Chile, the universal periodic review is an important opportunity for States to cooperate in promoting human rights within the international community. 2. Moreover, by allowing States to promote respect for human rights, the universal periodic review at the same time contributes to the strengthening of real democracy, which cannot exist unless the human rights of every person are secured. In that context, Chile receives the recommendations of the various States in the constructive spirit that characterizes the process. In doing so, it acknowledges the challenges and opportunities which it still faces in the human rights sphere. The Government reiterates its commitment to the universal human rights system and, in particular, to the work of the Human Rights Council. 3. Chile is a State that is fully committed to human rights. This commitment is reflected, for example, in the concrete progress that it has achieved since the constructive dialogue in January. This progress includes the recent promulgation of Act No. 21.154 of 25 April 2019, designating the National Human Rights Institute as the national mechanism for the prevention of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Another significant development has been the promulgation of Act No. 21.151 of 11 April 2019, granting legal recognition to the Chilean Afrodescendent tribal people. These achievements already in fact provide a response to a number of the recommendations made in the current cycle. 4. In the course of this third cycle of the universal periodic review, Chile received a total of 266 recommendations made by 101 States. Following a participatory process involving State agencies, Chile has decided to accept 211 recommendations, equivalent to 79.32 per cent of the total received. It has decided to note 37 recommendations, or 13.90 per cent of the total. There are 18 recommendations – 6.76 per cent of the total – that Chile has decided not to accept or consider.
