ÜRO inimõiguste perioodilise ülevaatuse vahearuande esitamisest
Austatud kolleeg
Eesti esitab ÜRO inimõiguste perioodilise ülevaatuse (Universal Periodic Review UPR) käigus
kolmanda inimõiguste aruande oktoobris 2020
(https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/UPR/UPR_3rd_cycle.pdf) ning aruande arutelu
Inimõiguste Nõukogus toimub 2021. aasta jaanuaris-veebruaris. Eesti esimene inimõiguste
ülevaatus toimus 2011. aastal, teine 2016. aastal, aruanded esitati 2010. aastal ja 2015. aastal.
Kuna inimõiguste ülevaatuseks tuleb aruanne esitada iga viie aasta tagant, siis on üha enam
riike järginud head tava ja esitanud vahepealsel perioodil vahearuande inimõiguste ülevaatusel
tehtud soovituste täitmisest ja edusammudest inimõiguste edendamisel soovitustes märgitud
valdkondades. Inimõiguste Nõukogus 2016. aasta teise Eesti inimõiguste perioodilisel
ülevaatusel tehtud soovituste täitmise vahearuanne tuleb esitada 2018. aasta lõpuks.
Eesti aruanded ja vahearuanded on kättesaadavad Välisministeeriumi kodulehel
https://vm.ee/et/tegevused-eesmargid/inimoigused/eesti-upr ning aruanded koos soovituste ja
teiste asjakohaste dokumentidega ÜRO inimõiguste ülemvoliniku kodulehel
https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/UPR/Pages/EEindex.aspx.
Inimõiguste ülevaate aruannete ja vahearuannete koostamist on juhtinud Välisministeerium
ning sellesse on kaasatud asjassepuutuvad ministeeriumid ja kodanikuühiskonna esindajad.
Välisministeerium on alustanud 2018. aasta vahearuande koostamist ning koondanud kirjale
lisatud tabelisse kõik eelmise aruande arutelu ajal riikide tehtud soovitused. Tabelis on ära
märgitud, kas Eesti on soovitusega nõustunud (142 soovitust) või selle tagasi lükanud ning
teadmiseks võtnud (39 soovitust, mis on välja toodud kursiivis). Tabelis on Välisministeerium
ühtlasi toonud välja soovituse täitmise ja teema eest vastutava ministeeriumi.

Välisministeerium palub, et ministeeriumid, vajadusel koos oma allasutustega, vaataks üle
nende pädevusse kuuluvate soovituste täitmise ning teeks tabelisse vastava märkuse – kas
soovitus on täidetud või kas soovituse täitmiseks astutakse vajalikke samme, milliseid
meetmeid on võetud ja milline on soovituse täitmise kavandatav ajagraafik. Teave peaks olema
lühike ja konkreetne, mida saaks esitada tabeli vormis, kuna pikemalt ja sisulisemalt
käsitletakse kõiki soovitusi juba 2020. aastal esitatavas Eesti kolmandas aruandes.
Palume samuti üle vaadata Eesti poolt tagasilükatud soovitused ning võimaluse korral esile tuua
edusamme inimõiguste edendamisel ka nendes valdkondades. Palume ühtlasi tabelit täiendada,
kui viited vastutavatele ministeeriumitele pole asjakohased, vajadusel lisada allasutused, kes
vastutavad soovituste täitmise eest. Lisaks tabeli täiendamisele palub Välisministeerium
lühikest ülevaadet, milliseid edusamme on tehtud inimõiguste tagamisel soovitustes käsitletud
valdkondades ministeeriumi haldusalas.
Välisministeerium palub tagasisidet hiljemalt 28.09.2018. Välisministeerium täiendab
tagasiside alusel tabelit ning koostab selle juurde lühiülevaate inimõiguste edendamisest
soovitustes käsitletud valdkondades. Seejärel saadetakse informatsioon arvamuse andmiseks
õiguskantslerile, võrdõigusvolinikule ning kodanikuühiskonna esindajatele.
Lõplik vahearuanne edastatakse ministeeriumitele uuesti kooskõlastamiseks.
Välisministeerium planeerib aruande ÜRO-le esitada 2018. aasta detsembris.
