Concluding remarks of the State under review
495. Sweden thanked all those who had participated in the outcome of the review and
expressed its gratitude for the views conveyed, in particular the interventions by non-State
stakeholders.
496. Sweden regarded the universal periodic review as part of its national endeavours to
ensure systematic human rights work. It had accepted the great majority of the
recommendations, which it regarded as an important input for its future work related to
human rights. The follow-up would be a central part of the mandate of the inter-ministerial
working group for human rights.
497. Sweden referred to other important ongoing human rights initiatives being carried
out, such as the upcoming report of the Delegation for Human Rights, expected by 30
September 2010, which would include proposals on how to provide continued support to
work towards ensuring full respect for human rights. It also mentioned the evaluation of the
second national human rights plan of action during 2010, which would include an
assessment of the achievements and results of the plan as well as recommendations for the
continued systematic work with human rights at the national level. Both initiatives would
be an important input for a future Government communication to Parliament.
498. Sweden pledged to consult closely with civil society and other stakeholders in the
follow-up to the review, and reiterated its continuous engagement with the Council.
Sweden intended to maintain its ambitions regarding the implementation of human rights
issues on a national level; the universal periodic review process would continue to
constitute a vital part of that work.
