Statement by Iceland

Mr. President,

On behalf of the Troika - composed of Colombia, Indonesia and my own country, Iceland - it is a great privilege to present the draft report of the UPR Working Group distributed under the reference A/HRC/61/15.

During the interactive dialogue with Croatia, held on 10 November 2025, 74 delegations delivered their statements, and ten delegations sent advance questions. As a result, the state under review received a total of 216 recommendations.

Mr. President,

On behalf of the Troika, we would like to thank all the members of the delegation of Croatia, led by Mr Ivan CRNČEC, State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation.

We would also like to extend our thanks to other delegations for their constructive and active engagement in the process of the review and in the preparation of this report.

We welcome Croatia’s commitment to examine all recommendations and to provide its response to the recommendations made, no later than at the sixty-first session of the Human Rights Council.

The Troika would also like to extend its sincere thanks to the Secretariat for its dedicated support during the entire process.

Finally, on behalf of Troika, it is with pleasure to submit this report to the Working Group for adoption.

Thank you.
