A/HRC/17/2 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 334. The delegation had tried to give a full picture of existing constitutional and legal provisions to address the concerns conveyed through some of the recommendations. It had accepted a number of recommendations and had provided comments on other recommendations that should be regarded as noted. 335. Nepal reiterated that enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions were strictly outlawed in Nepal. Constitutional provisions provided for direct access to the Supreme Court of any individual or group to obtain redress for violation of their fundamental rights. In addition, other mechanisms to address violations of rights existed, such as the National Human Rights Commission and the National Women’s Commission. 336. Nepal expressed its appreciation for the role played by OHCHR in Nepal. Given that there were significant changes in Nepal since the Office was established in 2005, the Government had made the decision to extend the mandate of the Office in Nepal for six months. The decision had been duly communicated to the Office. There were strong reasons to extend the mandate for six months, given the recent verdict of the Supreme Court and commitment of all political actors to peace, and since the Constitution would be drafted in six months. Process-wise, it was a very democratic decision, made through broad consultations with stakeholders, including political parties, national institutions and civil society. Nepal wished to work with the international community in the field of human rights, and was committed to implement the recommendations that it had accepted, and urged the international community to respect the usual process of democratic decisionmaking that the Government of Nepal had followed. 337. Nepal considered that the report that was adopting would serve as a reference for its efforts to improve human rights conditions. Nepal would work in partnership with civil society and social movements for the implementation of the recommendations. Saint Lucia 338. The review of Saint Lucia was held on 25 January 2011 in conformity with all the relevant provisions contained in Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, and was based on the following documents: (a) The national report submitted by Saint Lucia in accordance with the annex to resolution 5/1, paragraph 15 (a) (A/HRC/WG.6/10/LCA/1); (b) The compilation prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (b) (A/HRC/WG.6/10/LCA/2); (c) The summary prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (c) (A/HRC/WG.6/10/LCA/3). 339. At its 16th meeting, on 7 June 2011, the Human Rights Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review of Saint Lucia (see section C below). 340. The outcome of the review of Saint Lucia comprised the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/16/6), the views of Saint Lucia concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group (see also A/HRC/17/6/Add.1). 134 GE.12-13630
