The Eritrean officials have rejected the remarks made during the interactive dialogue on the dire human rights violations in the country describing it as “unremitting external hostilities on the country”. Adem Osman Idris, Permanent Representative of Eritrea to the United Nations Office at Geneva, said that Eritrea is committed to the full enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all its citizens.
