There’s no UN “case” against Jamaica. The UN Human Rights Committee is carrying out a routine review of Jamaica’s human rights record. Both the Government and civil society submitted reports. That’s how the process works.
Our joint report to the UN Human Rights Committee recognises the progress Jamaica has made, including the Integrity Commission Act, the Child Diversion Act and the reduction in murders. But we still have a long way to go. The report also addresses police use of force, sexual and gender-based violence, an independent national human rights institution, and other calls made over the years.
Don’t take our word for it, or anyone else’s. Read the full report for yourself: tr.ee/51XbPE
