The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development on Wednesday released a statement urging the German government to promote inclusivity, sustainability, and protection of human rights following a visit to the country.

Special Rapporteur Surya Deva visited Germany this month to assess the nation’s commitment to human rights, sustainable development goals, and local democratic participation. He visited and attended meetings in Berlin, Cottbus, Düsseldorf and Gelsenkirchen.

Deva commended Germany’s foreign aid and support efforts, its focus on solving climate-related problems, and its efforts to provide refuge to those fleeing danger and conflict.

However, Deva also addressed key areas of potential improvement and called for urgent attention to certain human rights shortcomings.
