Universal Periodic Review 48: UK Statement on Bolivia
11 February 2025
The United Kingdom welcomes the delegation of Bolivia to this, its fourth Universal Periodic Review. We commend Bolivia for its constructive engagement with the UPR process and for the progress it has made since its last review in 2015.
We welcome Bolivia’s commitment to human rights and its efforts to improve the lives of all its citizens. We particularly welcome the establishment of the National Institute for Human Rights, which is an important step towards ensuring the promotion and protection of human rights in Bolivia.
However, we remain concerned about a number of human rights issues in Bolivia, including:
- The use of excessive force by security forces against protesters.
- The high levels of violence against women and girls.
- The discrimination faced by indigenous peoples.
- The restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly.
We urge Bolivia to take steps to address these concerns. We are encouraged by the government’s commitment to dialogue and cooperation with civil society and international organisations, and we believe that this is an essential step towards improving the human rights situation in Bolivia.
We also welcome Bolivia’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that the SDGs provide a valuable framework for achieving human rights, and we encourage Bolivia to continue to make progress towards their implementation.
We are confident that Bolivia can continue to make progress on human rights. We stand ready to support Bolivia in its efforts to build a more just and equitable society for all its citizens.
Thank you.
