"Mr President, I am speaking today in my capacity as Chair of the Delegation for countries of South Asia, and I want to add my condolences and those of the delegation to the families and loved ones of those killed in the recent atrocity in Lahore, designed to attack children and families on the Easter public holiday, and also condolences for other recent attacks. We have been seeing an overall decrease in such attacks by violent extremists and have seen a more consistent and coordinated effort from the government and the army, and it is essential that they work together. We welcome the government’s commitment to reform the education system and curriculum to engender a wider understanding of human rights and respect for diversity. We welcome, too, the further commitments in terms of equality before the law and the promotion of human rights, which of course will need a strong and fully-independent human rights commission, as well as the implementation of the conventions that the government has signed up to, not least as part of the GSP+ agreement. We also hope that we will see a reconsideration of the death penalty and its eventual abolition."@en1
