A/HRC/42/16/Add.1 international level. In keeping with an approach of shared but differentiated responsibilities, Nicaragua will continue to strengthen policies, strategies and instruments to contribute to the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. (125.47 to 125.50, 125.52, 125.53) 24. The Government does not rule out the possibility of acceding to international human rights instruments to which Nicaragua is not a party. (125.5) 25. The Government of Nicaragua will continue to be respectful of its international obligations and collaborate effectively and efficiently with the United Nations. On 2 May 2019, all outstanding reports were submitted to the treaty bodies, in full compliance with this international obligation. (125.8, 125.9) 26. The Government of Nicaragua will remain firmly committed to leading the country towards peace, national development and prosperity, adopting concrete measures in the economic and social spheres and strengthening State institutions, which have made it possible to progressively resolve the crisis resulting from the violent events that occurred in the context of the failed coup attempt. (125.107) 27. The aforementioned acts of violence have been investigated through a special, autonomous, independent and professional mechanism created by the legislature: the Truth, Justice and Peace Commission, which has conducted extensive investigations and worked with existing national mechanisms in order to arrive at the truth. (125.85) 28. The Government of Nicaragua remains committed to justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition for victims. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Victim Assistance Act, the Office of the Human Rights Advocate has coordinated with State institutions to ensure that victims receive comprehensive specialized support and reparation, including medical care, mental health care, rehabilitation, social security and services, and are covered by government programmes and services in the areas of health, education, work, business, housing and recreation that will contribute to the comprehensive development of victims. (125.89 and 125.103) VI. Rationale for not accepting recommendations 29. Nicaragua, in the exercise of its sovereignty, considers that this is not the time to take on new international commitments that would entail an additional administrative and budgetary burden. This does not mean, however, that there are weaknesses or gaps in the protection of human rights in the country, as Nicaragua has a broad and complete legal system focused on protecting the constitutional guarantees and human rights of Nicaraguans. (125.1, 125.2, 125.3, 125.4, 125.6, 125.7) 30. The Government of Nicaragua does not rule out the possibility of cooperating in the future with certain mechanisms of the Human Rights Council; however, we believe that each request made by the relevant competent body should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. (125.10, 125.11, 125.12, 125.13, 125.15, 125.16, 125.17, 125.18, 125.19, 125.20, 125.21, 125.22, 125.23, 125.36) 31. The people of Nicaragua value and respect the right to life of the unborn, and for that reason abortion is not accepted by society as a method of birth control, in view of the serious risks it poses to women’s health. This does not mean that women’s lives are being put at risk, since internal regulations oblige the Nicaraguan public health system to provide care to any woman who is at risk, especially when her life is at risk, in line with a medical procedure protocol. (125.217, 125.219) 32. As in other countries, NGOs in Nicaragua are obliged to comply with relevant laws and with the goals and purposes for which they were established and on the basis of which they were granted legal personality. Nine associations lost their legal personality for engaging in activities outside the scope of their goals and objectives and for utilizing their organizational status to manage, receive, channel and facilitate funds for the commission of unlawful acts in the context of the attempted coup d’état. The loss of legal personality by these entities does not affect the right to association of their members. (125.136) GE.19-15735 5
