Following intense questioning and rebukes over three days, the Guyana Government has submitted additional information to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (CCPR) and has objected to some of the allegations that were put to it.

In a statement yesterday, the government said that on Friday, 22 March 2024, it submitted written responses to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, as part of the ongoing review of Guyana’s Third Periodic Report by the United Nations Human Rights Committee which took place from 18th to 20th March 2024. As this periodic process continues, the statement said that the submission intends to provide updates and additional information in response to the questions raised by the Human Rights Committee in relation to the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
