Geneva, Switzerland – Saint Kitts and Nevis has reaffirmed its commitment to human rights and people-centred development during its appearance before the United Nations Human Rights Council under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism.
Leading the delegation, Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs, the Honourable Garth Wilkin, represented the Federation alongside Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Social Development and Gender Affairs, Ms Azilla Clarke.
Attorney General Wilkin said he was proud to defend the country’s record of progress, particularly over the past three years, noting that Saint Kitts and Nevis continues to strengthen its human rights framework through constitutional governance, institutional reform and practical implementation.
“It is always an honour to represent Saint Kitts and Nevis on the international stage, and especially meaningful to do so alongside my colleague Ms Azilla Clarke,” the Attorney General stated. “This review provided an opportunity to demonstrate how our human rights commitments are being translated into real improvements for our people.”
