N/A
- State under Review
- Recommendation
Continue to study and review human rights instruments. Bhutan has always been of the view that the government must first build the necessary social and political institutions and develop its human resources before it assumes any additional international treaty obligations. In the absence of strong institutions and qualified personnel, it remains seriously constrained in fulfilling the obligations as required in the international treaties/conventions. As its capacity is enhanced, Bhutan will consider ratifying relevant international human rights instruments

- Recommendation
The government is currently studying and reviewing other human rights instruments. It has always been the view of the government to first build the necessary social and political institutions and develop the human resources of the country before it assumes any international treaty obligations. In the absence of strong institutions and adequately qualified personnel, the government is seriously constrained in fulfilling obligations as specified in many of the international treaties and conventions. As Bhutan's capacity is enhanced, it will in the near future look forward to ratifying the other international human rights instruments.
