In closing, the representative of the United Kingdom stated that the delegation would reflect comments made during the meeting back to colleagues in the capital. On the issue of pretrial detention, the Council was referred to the document circulated which provides detailed responses to concerns, and the representative reiterated that the proposal regarding pretrial detention is the subject of significant public and parliamentary debate. The proposal to move to 42 days is a reserve power, only to be used in specific circumstances set out in the legislation. The power is temporary and detention is subject to stringent judicial safeguards, including the approval of a judge, at least every seven days. The proposal in the counter-terrorism Bill will enable the limit to be extended if there is a clear operational need to do so because of a grave exceptional terrorist threat to the United Kingdom. The representative also thanked Nigeria for acknowledging the United Kingdom’s position that it considers economic, social and cultural rights to be as important as civil and political rights, and that all rights are mutually interdependent and interrelated. In response to Pakistan’s reference to paragraph 23 of the report of the Working Group, he stated that the response of the Minister can be found in paragraph 25 of the same report. Regarding the intervention of the Russian Federation, the Minister had made it clear during the review that it is necessary to protect public safety and national security, while stressing the need to ensure full respect for human rights. Finally, the representative of the United Kingdom thanked the representatives of civil society who had taken the floor during the meeting, and re-affirmed commitment to civil society participation in the follow-up process.
