Statement by Professor Michel Veuthey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ambassador to monitor and combat trafficking in persons, Deputy Permanent Observer in Geneva
\nGeneva, 20 June 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. President, Excellencies,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Sovereign Order of Malta wishes to express its thanks to the Special Rapporteur on violence against<\/strong> women, its causes and consequences, Ms. Reem Alsalem<\/strong>. We would like to congratulate the Special Rapporteur for her well-documented report (A\/HRC\/50\/26) on \u201cViolence against indigenous women and girls\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Order of Malta welcomes her mention of
\n– the role of regional organizations<\/strong>, the role of local communities<\/strong> and especially indigenous women<\/strong>,
\n– the need to access to prevention and protection services<\/strong>, including in local indigenous languages
\n– the training in local languages<\/strong> for the native indigenous rural authorities
\n– the implementation of the extraterritorial human rights<\/strong> obligation of States, allowing for accountability by non-State actors for violations (Par. 51), without excluding recourse to the national courts of the State on whose territory the violation was committed, or multi-stakeholder initiatives such as the \u201cGlobal Deal\u201d.<\/a>
\n– effective implementation of recommendations by truth commissions or commissions of inquiry<\/strong> (Par. 64)<\/p>\n

-the due diligence obligation by States to prevent, investigate and punish perpetrators<\/strong>, and to provide reparations<\/strong>for victims (Par. 76)
\n– the obligation for States to ensure that indigenous women and girls who are survivors of violence<\/strong> have adequate access to protection and support services, including culturally appropriate medical treatment, psychosocial counselling and professional training <\/strong>(Par. 86).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America, the Order of Malta<\/a> conducts projects with the aim of providing health care to indigenous populations, to strengthen their capacity to develop income-generating activities and to help them strengthen their rights.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
