Nations Press Gambia on Rights and Reform at UN Review.

Lebanon wants the Gambia to fight corruption harder. This comes after the Gambia passed its first anti-corruption law late last year, though problems still exist in government offices.

Speaking in Geneva, Lebanon asked Gambia to make new teams to tackle corruption. They praised Gambia's pause on death sentences but pushed for more action against torture and women's rights issues.

The small nation of Liechtenstein asked Gambia to end death sentences forever. They want better help for abuse victims and rules against hitting children.

Luxembourg backed Gambia's work with West African nations to try crimes from the Jammeh years. They asked Gambia to let more rights experts visit and help victims of violence get justice.

Several countries, including Luxembourg, Malta, and Maldives, urged Gambia to change its laws about same-sex relations. They want new rules to stop unfair treatment based on gender or sexual choices.

South Korea noted Gambia's work on a new constitution and praised its ban on female cutting. They asked the country to pay victims of past rights abuse and protect free speech.

Next door, Senegal praised the Gambia's recent progress on human rights. They want the Gambia to provide better health care and schools for its people.

The review shows how other nations watch Gambia's moves toward better rights and stronger laws. Many countries see good changes but want faster progress in key areas.
