Andorra accepted 108 of 150 UN human rights recommendations during its fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR), with the UN Human Rights Council approving the report by consensus in Geneva on Thursday.

The government fully endorsed 108 proposals, partially accepted one, and placed 41 under further review pending deeper technical analysis or legislative adjustments. Foreign Affairs Minister Imma Tor outlined the position in a pre-recorded address at the session, emphasising alignments with ongoing or imminent reforms and institutional capabilities. She affirmed that respect for human rights lies "at the centre of all public policies" and pledged a national mechanism by the cycle's end to track implementation, reporting, and compliance in line with UN best practices.

Accepted recommendations target priorities such as equality and non-discrimination, efforts against gender-based and domestic violence, child protection—including a recently approved bill strengthening safeguards for minors in digital environments—disability rights, affordable housing, and social cohesion. Officials highlighted progress from the 2020 cycle, with 81% of commitments implemented and the remaining 19% in final stages. Key advances include bolstered equality legislation, anti-violence policies, and 98.6% mainstream schooling for students with disabilities.

Among ongoing efforts is ratification of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, a repeated request across reviews, alongside reforms to disability legislation. The 41 deferred items, officials said, require additional groundwork to ensure feasible outcomes rather than undeliverable promises.

This cross-ministerial evaluation reflects a focus on realistic pledges, extending prior successes to meet global benchmarks through transparent dialogue and shared accountability.
