Tunisia: A country in transition with hope and challenges, says UN expert

TUNIS (19 April 2018) - Tunisia has continued to make progress on democracy since the revolution more than seven years ago, including a Constitution guaranteeing fundamental rights for all Tunisians, but there is still a lot to do, says a UN human rights expert.

“Tunisia still faces numerous challenges, including setting up key institutions required by the Constitution, such as the Constitutional Court, and aligning a number of overly-restrictive laws with the democratic and human rights standards proclaimed by the new Constitution,” says the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Ahmed Shaheed.

In a statement at the end of a country visit, the expert said: “The country’s new constitution enacted in 2014 is very progressive, and could be a model or source of inspiration for the entire region, guaranteeing every citizen freedom of conscience and belief, and the freedom to peacefully exercise one’s religious practices.”

Mr Shaheed also identified several challenges facing the country. “The road ahead remains a rocky one, with the multi-faceted challenges of combating violent extremism, ensuring sustained economic development, consolidating democratic institutions, promoting the rule of law, and transforming societal attitudes by fostering pluralism and inclusion,” stressed the expert.

He observed that the Constitution requires that the Head of State be a Muslim and that the State is required to be the “guardian of religion” and to undertake to “protect the sacred”.

“This could be a source of numerous problems, if this provision is interpreted as an obligation upon the state to protect religion per se rather than individuals,” said the Special Rapporteur.

The expert welcomed the provisions in the 2014 Constitution for a National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) and a draft bill to ensure that the current NHRI becomes fully compliant with the international Paris Principles.

He also hailed the appointment of a Commission, established by the Tunisian President, to report on establishing equality with regard to inheritance and child custody saying: “These are very progressive measures that demonstrate a deep commitment to a civil state with equality for all.”

Mr. Shaheed also considered the human rights situation of women in Tunisia during his visit. He said: “Women have generally succeeded in securing far more equitable laws than in many of Tunisia’s neighbours, and are likely to make even greater progress in gender equality.”

The expert, who visited the country at the invitation of the Government of Tunisia, met with Government officials, including the Prime Minister. He also had meetings with civil society organizations, members of various religious or belief groups, academics and UN Agencies. A final report on the main findings of his visit and the key recommendations, will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2019.

Indonesia: Production increase must fulfil right to food for all, says UN expert

Indonesia: Production increase must fulfil right to food for all, says UN expert

GENEVA (19 April 2018) – Indonesia’s successful policies to increase rice production should be linked to fulfilling its obligation to the right to food for all, Hilal Elver, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, has said.

“Indonesia has grown as one of the leading exporters of agricultural commodities and fish. It almost seems as if there is an abundance of food in Indonesia,” said the UN expert in a statement at the end of a 10-day visit to the country.  

“But what strikes me is the irony that in a leading food-producing country 30 percent of children have stunted growth, and over 92 percent of the population eat considerably less fruit and vegetables than World Health Organization recommended levels.

“This is telling: food is not only about quantity but also about quality, accessibility and affordability. People living in remote areas have limited access to healthy food, and the poor population in cities are not able to afford fruits and vegetables, which are very expensive,” she added.

The Special Rapporteur noted that Indonesia was dealing with issues relating to over-consumption of staple foods such as rice and corn, and diets with not enough fruit and vegetables. She acknowledged that the Government had responded to the issue by adopting policies aimed at promoting food security and making nutrition a priority. But she said subsidies to achieve rice self-sufficiency did not help to promote a more diverse and healthy diet.

“I commend the efforts of the Government and encourage it to take a holistic approach to its food policies while adopting a human rights based approach to food security. It should also improve its food and nutrition policies by ensuring accessibility to food - economically and physically, availability and adequacy of quality food while eradicating root causes for food vulnerability including poverty. The Government should pay extra attention to those living in remote areas, highlighting the plight of landless peoples and people living in poverty,” the expert stressed.

Although urbanisation is proceeding rapidly, the majority of Indonesians, especially farmers, fishing and indigenous communities and peasants live in areas where access to a variety of food, which is necessary for a healthy diet, is often extremely limited.

The UN expert explained that the Government was facing a number of challenges over implementing the right to food. They include conflicts over land ownership as a result of large-scale land and water acquisitions, as well as problems arising from the legalisation of traditional land tenure, while fishing communities were becoming more vulnerable because of depletion of fish stocks and illegal fishing. Additional problems arose from industrial palm oil and mining operations, involving development projects that threatened livelihoods, and caused environmental pollution. Indonesia had also been hit adversely by climate change along its extensive coastal zones, she added.

Ms. Elver said: “One Government official told me, ‘I agree challenges are opportunities - opportunities for improvement and towards the full realisation of the right to food for all in Indonesia.’ So, I encourage the Government to take advantage of this opportunity and work toward improving food policies in ways that are responsive to human rights.”

The Special Rapporteur’s final report will be presented to a forthcoming session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Indonesia. Peningkatan produksi harus memenuhi hak atas pangan untuk semua, kata ahli PBB

JENEWA (19 April 2018) - Kebijakan Indonesia yang sukses dalam meningkatkan produksi beras harus dikaitkan dengan pemenuhan kewajibannya terhadap hak atas pangan untuk semua, ungkap Hilal Elver, Pelapor Khusus PBB untuk hak atas pangan.

“Indonesia telah tumbuh sebagai salah satu eksportir komoditas pertanian dan ikan terkemuka. Kelihatannya seolah-olah ada banyak makanan di Indonesia,” kata sang ahli PBB dalam sebuah pernyataan di akhir kunjungan 10 hari ke negara itu.  

“Tapi apa yang mengejutkan saya adalah ironi bahwa di suatu negara penghasil makanan terkemuka, 30 persen anak-anak mengalami pertumbuhan yang terhambat, dan lebih dari 92% penduduknya makan buah dan sayuran jauh lebih sedikit daripada tingkat yang direkomendasikan oleh Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO).

Ini menandakan bahwa: makanan bukan hanya tentang kuantitas tetapi juga tentang kualitas, aksesibilitas, dan keterjangkauan. Orang-orang yang tinggal di daerah terpencil memiliki akses terbatas terhadap makanan sehat, dan penduduk miskin di perkotaan tidak mampu membeli buah dan sayuran, yang harganya sangat mahal,” tambahnya.

Pelapor Khusus mencatat bahwa Indonesia berurusan dengan masalah-masalah yang berkaitan dengan konsumsi makanan pokok yang berlebihan seperti beras dan jagung, serta pola makan yang tidak mengandung cukup buah dan sayuran. Ia mengakui bahwa Pemerintah telah menanggapi masalah ini dengan mengadopsi kebijakan yang bertujuan mempromosikan ketahanan pangan dan menjadikan gizi sebagai prioritas. Namun dia mengatakan, subsidi untuk mencapai swasembada beras tidak membantu mengkampanyekan pola makan yang lebih beragam dan sehat.

“Saya memuji upaya Pemerintah dan mendorong Pemerintah untuk mengambil pendekatan holistik terhadap kebijakan pangannya sambil mengadopsi pendekatan berbasis hak asasi manusia untuk ketahanan pangan. Juga harus meningkatkan kebijakan pangan dan nutrisi dengan memastikan akses terhadap pangan - secara ekonomi dan fisik, ketersediaan dan kecukupan pangan berkualitas, sambil menghapus akar penyebab kerentanan pangan termasuk kemiskinan. Pemerintah harus memberi perhatian ekstra kepada orang-orang yang tinggal di daerah terpencil, menyoroti penderitaan masyarakat yang tidak memiliki lahan dan orang-orang yang hidup dalam kemiskinan,” tegas sang pakar.

Meskipun urbanisasi berjalan dengan cepat, mayoritas orang Indonesia, terutama petani, nelayan dan masyarakat adat serta pekebun tinggal di daerah yang seringkali memiliki akses sangat terbatas ke berbagai makanan, yang diperlukan untuk pola makan yang sehat.

Pakar PBB ini menjelaskan bahwa Pemerintah menghadapi sejumlah tantangan terkait penerapan hak atas pangan. Di antaranya termasuk konflik kepemilikan lahan sebagai akibat dari akuisisi lahan dan air berskala besar, serta masalah yang timbul dari legalisasi penguasaan lahan tradisional, sementara masyarakat nelayan menjadi lebih rentan karena menipisnya stok ikan dan penangkapan ikan ilegal. Masalah tambahan muncul dari industri minyak sawit dan operasi penambangan, yang melibatkan proyek-proyek pembangunan yang mengancam mata pencaharian penduduk serta menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan. Indonesia juga terkena dampak negatif perubahan iklim di sepanjang zona pesisirnya yang luas, ia menambahkan.

Ms Elver berkata: “Seorang pejabat Pemerintah mengatakan kepada saya, 'Saya setuju tantangan adalah peluang - peluang untuk peningkatan dan menuju perwujudan penuh hak atas pangan untuk semua orang di Indonesia.' Jadi, saya mendorong Pemerintah untuk memanfaatkan kesempatan ini dan berusaha memperbaiki kebijakan pangan dengan cara yang responsif terhadap hak asasi manusia.”
Laporan akhir Pelapor Khusus akan dipresentasikan pada sesi Dewan Hak Asasi Manusia PBB mendatang di Jenewa.

UN torture prevention body to make first visit to Belize


GENEVA (19 April 2018) – The United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) will for the first time visit Belize from 22 to 27 April to advise the Government on the establishment of a national monitoring body for all places of deprivation of liberty, officially known as the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM). The Subcommittee will also assess how people deprived of their liberty are treated, and their conditions of detention, as well as which measures Belize has taken to protect them from torture and ill-treatment.
The SPT has a mandate to visit all States that are parties to the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT).
“The International obligations of States that have ratified the Optional Protocol must imply tangible changes for people deprived of their liberty. Under OPCAT, the first step is to ensure that detainees are protected from torture and ill-treatment through the establishment of an independent, effective and well-resourced National Preventive Mechanism,” said Sir Malcolm Evans, Chairperson of the SPT, who will head the delegation. “We are visiting Belize in order to assist the authorities to set this mechanism as well as to see the conditions of detention in the country” he added.
Among the places the SPT delegation is due to visit are prisons, police stations, psychiatric centers and other places where people are deprived of their liberty. The experts will also meet government officials, the judiciary, the Ombudsman, UN agencies and representatives of civil society.
The SPT delegation will comprise the following members: Sir Malcolm Evans, Head of Delegation (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), Mr. Arman Danielyan (Armenia). Ms. June Lopez (Philippines), Ms. Aisha Shujune Muhammad (Maldives) and Mr. Victor Zaharia (Republic of Moldova).
