A resolution recognizing widespread decades-long human rights abuses in Eritrea, including indefinite imprisonment, inhumane prison conditions, and the absence of democratic institutions, and expressing support for the rights and freedom of the Eritrean people.

This resolution recognizes and condemns the widespread, decades-long human rights abuses in Eritrea, highlighting the government's failure to implement its 1997 constitution, which promised democratic rights and freedoms. Eritrea has remained a one-party state under President Isaias Afwerki since 2013, ruling without national elections or a functioning legislature. This has led to systemic human rights violations across the country. These violations include arbitrary and indefinite detention, inhumane prison conditions, religious persecution, and a compulsory, indefinite national service program amounting to forced labor. International reports confirm a dire human rights situation, marked by mass surveillance, lack of press freedom, and a significant refugee crisis, with Eritrea consistently refusing UN cooperation. The resolution calls on the Eritrean government to release all political prisoners, uphold constitutional rights, allow its people to democratically choose their leaders, and grant access to the United Nations Special Rapporteur. It expresses support for the Eritrean people's aspirations for democratic governance and offers stronger ties if meaningful reforms are made.
