Prisoners or human beings?

A human right to health

At the opening of the session, H.E. Mr Edgar Hillary, Minister of Justice of Swaziland, made some initial considerations on behalf of his country. He stressed that Swaziland had received many recommendations: in total, 131 out of 181 were accepted (i.e. 72% acceptance rate.) Importantly, he mentioned several human rights issues that the Government had tried to tackle, at points, successfully.
