The United Kingdom has set out its concerns and recommendations at Trinidad and Tobago's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, in a statement published on 9 November 2026.
The UK welcomed Trinidad and Tobago's participation in the review and recognised its efforts to address human trafficking since the last review. It said it remained concerned by persistent gender-based violence against migrant women and girls, and by gaps in legal protections against violence and discrimination for members of the LGBT+ community. It also said the death penalty remains in law and that death sentences continue to be imposed.
The UK recommended that Trinidad and Tobago fully implement and monitor its National Strategic Action Plan on Gender-Based and Sexual Violence and strengthen survivor-centred protections and support services. It further recommended amending the Equal Opportunity Act 2000 to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, maintaining the de facto moratorium on executions, and reviewing death penalty legislation with a view to abolition.
