Mr. President,
Iceland welcomes the delegation of Oman and its national report.
In the spirit of constructive engagement, Iceland recommends the following:

- Ratify the Second Optional Protocol of the ICCPR.
- Criminalize all forms of gender-based violence, including marital rape.
- Ensure universal access to CSE in and out of school settings.
- Decriminalize and legalize abortion in all circumstances.
- Eliminate child marriage.
- Decriminalize same-sex relations between consenting adults.
- Abolish all legislation that criminalizes or restricts the rights of transgender and intersex persons.
I wish Oman all success for its review.
I thank you.
