 Dear High Commissioner, Excellencies, the protection and promotion of human rights is key priority of the government of the Republic of North Macedonia. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are reminded of its uniqueness and enduring significance for freedom, equality and justice for all. To date, the principles laid down in this historic document are echoed in the constitution of most member states and have inspired numerous international treaties and conventions. While reflecting on the achievements of the past decades, let us not forget that we have a long way ahead to achieve the objective of universal respect of human rights, essential for achieving the sustainable development goals. In that context, it is my pleasure to present the North Macedonia's Human Rights 75 pledges. One, we pledge to increase public trust in the governance system by advancing transparency and accountability of the government, by adopting and reinforcing a new transparency strategy by 2026. We will work tirelessly to ensure free access to information, fiscal transparency and transparency and openness of all processes and decisions in the public sector. Two, we are committed to accelerating digital transformation to further improve people-centered and quality services by 2027. We will strengthen resilience to cyber threats and work on raising cybersecurity awareness. We aim to legislate the use of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to harness their benefits over the risks. Three, we commit resolutely to address corruption and improve integrity in a systematic manner. We will resolutely work to enhance the inter-institutional coordination and exchange among various government institutions, the prosecution and the judiciary. We will take decisive steps for the inter-sectoral body for coordination of actions against corruption to be fully empowered by 2025. Four, we pledge to make a transformative change in the lives of people with disabilities by putting in place disability-inclusive policies and services by 2023. We commit to ensure their participation in public life and independent living in the community, improve accessibility of infrastructure, IT, employment and transform all residential institutions into community-based services. Five, affirming the vital role of the judiciary in protecting human rights and the rule of law, we are committed to achieving significant and sustained judicial reforms by implementing a new judicial reform strategy by 2027. We aim to strengthen the independence, impartiality, integrity of the judiciary and allocate adequate budgets.
