Following are UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ remarks to the global round table on “Transforming Extractive Industries for Sustainable Development”, today:
I am pleased to welcome you to this global round table on “Transforming Extractive Industries for Sustainable Development”. Mineral resources are one of Earth’s great endowments. Their extraction plays a dominant role in the economies of 81 countries. These countries account for a quarter of global gross domestic product (GDP), half the world’s population and nearly 70 per cent of people living in extreme poverty.
Of the world’s 72 low- or middle-income countries, 63 have increased their dependence on extractive industries over the past two decades. These industries generate large amounts of foreign exchange earnings, foreign direct investment and Government revenues. They have the potential to drive economic growth and poverty reduction.

In dialogue with Luxembourg, Experts of Committee on Rights of Child ask about protection from violence, both offline and online
OHCHR
The Committee on the Rights of the Child today concluded its consideration of the combined fifth to sixth periodic report of Luxembourg on how it implements the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, with the dialogue focusing about the protection of children from violence, both offline and online, among other issues.
Committee Experts raised concerns about the lack of criminalisation of sexual violence against children, including female genital mutilation. Stressing the importance of early detection of violence, they asked if the Government believed legislative changes were required in that regard. Had the Government gathered evidence about the increase in instances of domestic violence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic? Had it, accordingly, implemented mitigating measures?
