PEACEFUL USES OF NUCLEAR ENERGY, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY :WORKING PAPER / SUBMITTED BY CHINA, FRANCE, THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Nuclear technology, such as X-rays and gamma rays

Agency’s work to deliver support to member States through the Technical Cooperation
Programme, the Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy and its joint work with the
World Health Organization, as well as the assistance provided from donor countries
through direct bilateral and regional engagement, are all invaluable channels for
delivering and upgrading health services for people in developing countries.
11. (...) (a) Nuclear applications have proven useful in combating the coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) pandemic worldwide. (...) The Agency’s application of the sterile insect technique has played an essential
role in successfully combating tsetse flies, fruit flies and the diseases they transmit.

APPLICABLE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS AND RELATED OBLIGATIONS ADDRESSING THE ISSUES FACED BY PERSONS WITH ALBINISM : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
She discusses the implications for persons with albinism of the
rights to equality and non-discrimination, life and freedom from torture and the
importance of combating impunity, as well as efforts to combat harmful practices and
trafficking in body parts. (...) The Committee on the Rights of the Child
has also stressed that “violence perpetrated against children with albinism …
amount[s] to torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, kidnapping and even
death”.
27
Combating impunity
37. Failure to combat the impunity of perpetrators of attacks against persons with
albinism is a major issue that has been raised by various committees.
28
They have
all pointed to the obligation of States to investigate and prosecute all cases of
attacks and to ensure the adequacy of the national legislative framework and
criminal sanctions. (...) Perceived impunity for
crimes against persons with albinism not only significantly reduces the deterrent
effect of the law, but also can, in certain cases, contribute indirectly to lynching and
“mob justice”.
39. To combat impunity, States have an obligation to ensure that all acts of torture
are offences under its criminal law and that those offences are punishable by
appropriate penalties.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES FACED BY PERSONS WITH ALBINISM :REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
In its resolution 72/140, the General Assembly expressed concern that persons
with albinism were disproportionately affected by poverty, owing to the
discrimination and marginalization that they faced, and recognized the need for
resources to develop and implement programmes to prevent and combat prejudice and
to create an environment conducive to respecting their rights and dignity. (...) Recent studies show
that, in sub-Saharan Africa, skin cancer is the major cause of mortality for persons
with albinism.11
26. (...) In many instances, persons with albinism cannot afford required services
and goods, such as sunscreen, highly protective clothing, early screening for skin
cancer, skin cancer treatment and vision-care devices.
