THE United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) yesterday adopted a resolution jointly sponsored by Malaysia and seven other UNHRC core members.
According to a Foreign Ministry statement issued today, besides Malaysia, the resolution titled “Promoting Human Rights and Sustainable Development Goals through Transparent, Accountable and Efficient Public Services Delivery” was also sponsored by Azerbaijan, Georgia, Thailand, Türkiye, Kenya and Ecuador.
It said the resolution encourages states to promote, instil and integrate human rights principles in the public service, and urges the voluntary exchange of information and best practices, particularly in the digitalisation of the public service.
“The resolution also encourages capacity-building and training in areas of human rights, gender equality, rule of law and good governance,” said the statement.
Wisma Putra said the resolution is testament to Malaysia’s efforts to advance human rights and sustainable development goals, in line with the “Malaysia Madani” concept espoused by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“It augurs well with the core values of Madani in strengthening public service delivery with transparency, accountability and integrity,” it said. – Bernama, April 4, 2023.
