48th Session of UPR
Universal Periodic Review of Italy
Geneva, 20 January 2025
Mr. President,
Albania welcomes the delegation of Italy and thanks them for presenting their national report.
We commend Italy for its commitment to promoting and protecting human rights at the national and international level.
We note Italy’s commitment to its migration and asylum policy aiming to address the unprecedented influx of migrants and refugees and the international protection granted to these people. Such influx situations have demonstrated that the challenge is common and there is a need for solidarity, not only at the national level, but also at the European and international level. In this framework, in this spirit of solidarity a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Italy and Albania.
While wishing Italy a successful review, Albania recommends:
- Intensify efforts to eradicate violence against women;
- Continue its efforts to combat racism against migrant communities;
Thank you.
