Universal Periodic Review, 41th session
Human Rights Council
UPR of Brazil, 14 November 2022
Intervention by Denmark
Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of Brazil.
Denmark appreciates the participation of Brazil as an active member of the Human Rights Council.
Denmark expresses concern of the increased pressure on human rights in Brazil in the past years.
Denmark recommends Brazil to:
1. Guarantee the right to territory and natural resources of Indigenous peoples, by not passing the bills 2159/2021 (3729/2004), 510/2021, 2633/2020, 490/2007 and 191/2020 currently in Congress.
2. Ensure the right to education and to health, securing an age-appropriate curriculum on gender and sexual education in schools, aimed at preventing sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies as well as gender-based violence and inequality.
Denmark wishes Brazil a successful review.
I thank you.
