 Today, Malawi joins the global community in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. This declaration continues to guide our quest for a world where every individual's rights and dignity are respected. And this occasion provides an opportunity for all of us to renew our commitment to its principles. Malawi stands ready to reaffirm its commitments rooted in our shared vision for a brighter future and a more just world. Towards that end, the government of Malawi makes the following pledges. One, we commit to actively engage in the United Nations human rights mechanisms, including participation in the Human Rights Council and treaty bodies. Two, we commit to adopt legislation and policies that provide enhanced protection for marginalized groups, including women, children, older persons, and persons with disabilities, so that, quote, no one is left behind, end of quote. For example, we will prioritize enacting the Persons with Disabilities Bill and the Order Persons Bill, conducting a comprehensive review of the Child Care Protection and Justice Act, the Agenda Equality Act, the Mental Treatment Act, and the Prevention Against Domestic Violence Act, and reviewing existing policies related to the rights of children, women, and persons with disabilities to adopt new ones. Number three, we commit to assure greater accountability and transparency in the promotion and protection of human rights by strengthening oversight bodies and public institutions, like the Office of the Omsman, the Malawi Human Rights Commission, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Number four, we commit to developing and implementing a Business and Human Rights Action Plan, which will serve as a framework for assuring that businesses adhere to principles that respect, protect, and promote human rights across all their activities, operations, and supply chains. Fifth, we commit to enhance the adoption of climate-resilient and sustainable practices in all sectors of Malawi, such as climate-smart agricultural practices, in recognition of their paramount role in addressing the far-reaching consequences of climate change on the lives and the rights of the people of Malawi. This commitment extends to implementing the newly enacted Disaster Risk Management Act to proactively prepare for the effects of climate change, such as cyclones, and adopting the necessary policies to safeguard and support the internally displaced persons whose lives have been appended by the harsh realities of climate change. Now, with this commitment, Malawi's commitment to advancing human rights and contributing to the global effort to uphold the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is unwavering. And Malawi stands ready to work with the global community to ensure that the aspirations of the Declaration become the lived experience of people everywhere.
