The Maldives is participating in the 62nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Switzerland, from June 15 to July 7, 2026. The Maldivian delegation, led by Permanent Representative Dr. Salma Rasheed, will deliver national statements on various agenda items aligned with government policies. As a member of the Core Group on the independence of judges and lawyers, the Maldives will submit a resolution to renew the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers. Additionally, as a member of NAM and OIC, the Maldives will voice concerns on global human rights issues, particularly highlighting atrocities faced by Palestinians in Gaza due to Israel's occupation. The Maldives' current membership term on the UNHRC is set to conclude in 2025, but the country will continue its work with the same commitment.
