 The protection and promotion of human rights has the central place in Ireland's domestic and foreign policy. We are deeply committed to the International Human Rights Framework. We welcome this opportunity to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through pledging commitments to advance human rights. I will now share some of Ireland's commitments with you. Ireland pledges to continue to champion civil society engagement domestically and internationally. At the Human Rights Council to continue to lead on the resolution of civil society space and strengthen work against reprisals and globally to continue to integrate human rights into the work of all our embassies and missions. To increase our funding to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in 2024 to implement our recently published updated guidelines for Irish embassies and missions on human rights defenders to equip our embassies to provide support to human rights defenders. To bring forward a second national action plan on business and human rights this will take account of and reflect the important advances in our shared understanding of the sphere of business and human rights. To ratify the optional protocol to the Convention Against Archer with the shortest possible delay. And finally to continue the promotion and protection of human rights in all our foreign policy engagements. Thank you.
