!! The Campaign\nThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) turns 60 on 10 December 2008. Today, on Human Rights Day 2007, the United Nations launches a year-long UN system-wide advocacy campaign to mark this important milestone. The campaign, an initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General, will be led by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and supported by UN agencies, departments and funds, and other international and local partners, to celebrate the Declaration and the promise that has made this document so enduring: "Dignity and justice for all of us".\n\nThe year-long commemoration, culminating on Human Rights Day 2008, aims to continue to raise awareness of the Declaration and its relevance to people around the world. The campaign aims to engage the wide participation of individuals and institutions - from global organizations to grassroots advocacy groups - to make the Declaration a reality for all. The Declaration opened the door to much progress but there is no room for complacency, as the almost daily litany of human rights violations around the world demonstrates.\n!! The logo\n[>img[udhr60+100x87.png]]The anniversary campaign is symbolized by the UDHR60 logo, which depicts a human shape standing with arms wide open. The yellow and red symbol represents liberation and equality. The yellow is a sign of peace and warmth. The symbol is set on a solid block which represents the foundation of human rights. The earthy red colour of the block reinforces human rights as a foundation stone and as humankind's common heritage.\n\nThe UDHR60 logo - in full colour or as a single colour - is available with text in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. It will be used during the anniversary period, from 10 December 2007 to 31 December 2008. It is under embargo until 10 December 2007.\n\nThe logo is available on the OHCHR website. Please contact us on 60anniversary@ohchr.org for guidelines on its usage.\n!! The Theme\nThe UDHR60 logo comes with words that encapsulate the promise of the Declaration: "Dignity and justice for all of us". It reinforces the vision of the UDHR as the first international recognition that fundamental rights and freedoms are inalienable and inherent to all human beings, that every one of us is born free and equal. The phrase also serves as a rallying call, for the promise of dignity and justice is far from realized for everyone. The UDHR is a living document that matters not only in times of conflict and in societies suffering repression, but also in addressing social injustice and achieving human dignity in times of peace in established democracies. Non-discrimination, equality and fairness - key components of justice - form the foundation of the UDHR. And no matter where you live, how much money you have, what faith you practice or political views you hold, all the human rights in the Declaration apply to you, everywhere, always.\n!! KnowYourRights2008\nThe United Nations Regional Information Centre (UNRIC) in Brussels has created a new website, www.KnowYourRights2008.org, as a repository of ideas to commemorate the year of human rights. The highly interactive website enables people all over the world to upload and download multimedia files and share their projects and initiatives on the Universal Declaration. www.KnowYourRights2008.org was launched on 10 December 2007.\n!! The UDHR: the foremost statement of the rights and freedoms of all human beings\nThe Declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, consists of a preamble and 30 articles, setting out a broad range of fundamental human rights and freedoms to which all men and women, everywhere in the world, are entitled, without any distinction.\n\nThe Declaration was drafted by representatives of all regions and legal traditions. It has over time been accepted as a contract between governments and their peoples. Virtually all states have accepted it. The Declaration has also served as the foundation for an expanding system of human rights protection that today focuses also on vulnerable groups such as disabled persons, indigenous peoples and migrant workers.\n!! Human Rights Day\nThe UDHR was adopted on 10 December 1948. The date has since served to mark Human Rights Day worldwide. The High Commissioner for Human Rights, as the main UN rights official, and her Office play a major role in coordinating efforts for the yearly observance of Human Rights Day.\n!! About OHCHR\nThe Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), a part of the United Nations Secretariat, is the global authority on human rights. It represents the world's commitment to universal ideals of human dignity and has been given a unique mandate to promote and protect all human rights. Headquartered in Geneva, the Office is also present in some 40 countries. Headed by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, a position established by the General Assembly in 1993 to spearhead the United Nations' human rights efforts, OHCHR offers leadership, works objectively, educates and takes action to empower individuals and assist States in upholding human rights. For more information please visit www.ohchr.org\n!! The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: A Living Document\nMany things can be said about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). It is the foundation of international human rights law, the first universal statement on the basic principles of inalienable human rights, and a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. As the UDHR approaches its 60th birthday, it is timely to emphasize the living document's enduring relevance, its universality, and that it has everything to do with all of us. Today, the UDHR is more relevant than ever.\n!! Universality\nIt was the UDHR, almost 60 years ago, that first recognized what have become nowadays universal values: human rights are inherent to all and the concern of the whole of the international community. Drafted by representatives of all regions and legal traditions, the UDHR has stood the test of time and resisted attacks based on "relativism". The Declaration and its core values, including non-discrimination, equality, fairness and universality, apply to everyone, everywhere and always. The UDHR belongs to all of us.\n\nMore than ever, in a world threatened by racial, economic and religious divides, we must defend and proclaim the universal principles - first enshrined in the UDHR - of justice, fairness and equality that people across all boundaries hold so deeply.\n!! Enduring Relevance\nHuman rights are not only a common inheritance of universal values that transcend cultures and traditions, but are quintessentially local values and nationally-owned commitments grounded in international treaties and national constitutions and laws.\n\nThe Declaration represents a contract between governments and their peoples, who have a right to demand that this document be respected. Not all governments have become parties to all human rights treaties. All countries, however, have accepted the UDHR. The Declaration continues to affirm the inherent human dignity and worth of every person in the world, without distinction of any kind.\n!! Ongoing struggle\nThe UDHR protects all of us, and it also enshrines the gamut of human rights. The drafters of the UDHR saw a future of freedom from fear, but also of freedom from want. They put all human rights on an equal footing and confirmed human rights are all essential to a life of dignity.\n\nThe UDHR drafters' vision has inspired many human rights defenders who have struggled over the last six decades to make that vision a reality. The contemporary international human rights edifice that originates in the UDHR is to be celebrated. But it has yet to benefit all of humanity equally.\n\nThe struggle is far from over. As the Declaration's custodians and beneficiaries, all of us must reclaim the UDHR, make it our own, and it has to do with both our rights and our responsibilities. While we are entitled to our human rights, we should also respect the human rights of others and help make universal human rights a reality for all of us. In our efforts lies the power of the UHDR: it is a living document that will continue to inspire generations to come.\n!! Dignity and Justice for All of Us\n"Dignity and justice for all of us" reinforces the vision of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as a commitment to universal dignity and justice. It is not a luxury or a wish-list. The UDHR and its core values, inherent human dignity, non-discrimination, equality, fairness and universality, apply to everyone, everywhere and always. The Declaration is universal, enduring and vibrant, and thus, a living document that concerns us all.\n!! Commitment\nThe drafting process of the UDHR involved representatives from all regions and drew inspiration from values, belief systems and political traditions from different cultures and societies across the globe. Initially adopted by countries worldwide as "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and nations", the Declaration has over time been widely accepted as the fundamental norms of human rights that all should respect. Today, all countries have accepted the UDHR and reaffirmed its commitment to fundamental rights enshrined therein time and again.\n\nOver the years, this commitment has been translated into law through which human rights are defined and guaranteed. Indeed, the UDHR has inspired numerous international human rights treaties and declarations, regional conventions, as well as national Constitutions. This rich body of human rights law represents a contract between governments and their peoples.\n!! Dignity\nThe UDHR demands meeting basic human needs and recognizes the indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights, whether they are civil and political rights, such as the right to life, and freedom of expression; or economic, social and cultural rights, such as the rights to work, social security and education. The improvement of one right contributes to the advancement of the others. Likewise, the deprivation of one right adversely affects the others. The entitlement to and fulfilment of all human rights are essential to a life of dignity.\n\nThe Declaration's enduring relevance is more compelling still when we listen to the voices of people at the grassroots level. When the World Bank conducted its "Voices of the Poor" surveys in the late 1990s, interviewing over 80,000 people in villages and local communities on their values, needs and strongest aspirations, the results read like the list of everyday rights in the UDHR.\n!! Justice\nThe UDHR declares in its preamble that "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world." It was the first, and remains the foremost, statement of the rights and freedoms of all of us as human beings, without distinction of any kind.\n\nThe core principles of human rights first set out in the UDHR, such as universality, interdependence and indivisibility, equality and non-discrimination are crucial in achieving justice. Non-discrimination, for example, has become one of the cross-cutting principles in human rights law. The principle is present in all the major human rights treaties and provides the central theme of some of them such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The UDHR has stimulated and inspired a rich body of international human rights treaties that seeks to strengthen and protect human rights.\n!! All of Us\nThe UDHR belongs to all of us. No matter where you live, how much money you have, what faith you practise or political views you hold, all the human rights in the UDHR apply to you and have everything to do with you. It was the UDHR, almost 60 years ago, which first established what have become universal values: that human rights are inherent to all and the concern of the whole of the international community. Human rights are everyone's business.\n\nThe impressive international human rights edifice the UDHR has made possible is to be celebrated. But it has yet to benefit all of humanity equally. All of us, as rights-owners, must reclaim the UDHR, make it our own. While Governments bear the primary duty to promote and protect all human rights, non-state actors, other duty bearers and all of us also play an important role in making the universal enjoyment of human rights a reality. It is through concerted efforts of the United Nations system, its international and local partners, national ownership, and the participation of people from different corners of the world that we can truly envisage "dignity and justice for all of us".\n!! The UDHR : The Foundation of International Human Rights Law\nThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is generally agreed to be the foundation of international human rights law. Adopted almost 60 years ago, the UDHR has inspired a rich body of legally binding international human rights treaties and human rights development worldwide. It continues to be an inspiration to us all whether in addressing injustices in times of conflicts, in societies suffering repression, and in our efforts towards achieving universal enjoyment of human rights.\n\nIt represents the universal recognition that basic rights and fundamental freedoms are inherent to all human beings, inalienable and equally applicable to everyone, and that every one of us is born free and equal in dignity and rights. Whatever our nationality, place of residence, gender, national or ethnic origin, religion, language, or any other status, the international community on 10 December 1948 made a commitment to upholding dignity and justice for all of us.\n!! Foundation for Our Common Future\nOver the years, the commitment has been translated into law, whether in the forms of treaties, customary international law, general principles, regional agreements and domestic law, through which human rights are expressed and guaranteed. Indeed, the UDHR has inspired more than 80 international human rights treaties and declarations, a great number of regional human rights conventions, domestic human rights bills, and constitutional provisions, which together constitute a comprehensive legally binding system for the promotion and protection of human rights.\n\nBuilding on the achievements of the UDHR, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights entered into force in 1976. The two Covenants have developped most of the rights already enshrined in the UDHR, making them effectively binding on States that have ratified them. They set forth everyday rights such as the right to life, equality before the law, freedom of expression, the rights to work, social security and education. Together with the UDHR, the Covenants comprise the International Bill of Human Rights.\n\nOver time, international human rights treaties have become more focused and specialized regarding both the issue addressed and the social groups identified as requiring protection. The body of international human rights law continues to grow, evolve, and further elaborate the fundamental rights and freedoms contained in the International Bill of Human Rights, addressing concerns such as racial discrimination, torture, enforced disappearances, disabilities, and the rights of women, children, migrants, minorities, and indigenous peoples.\n!! Universal Values\nThe core principles of human rights first set out in the UDHR, such as universality, interdependence and indivisibility, equality and non-discrimination, and that human rights simultaneously entail both rights and obligations from duty bearers and rights owners, have been reiterated in numerous international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions. Today, all United Nations member States have ratified at least one of the nine core international human rights treaties, and 80 percent have ratified four or more, giving concrete expression to the universality of the UDHR and international human rights.\n!! How Does International Law Protect Human Rights?\nInternational human rights law lays down obligations which States are bound to respect. By becoming parties to international treaties, States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights.Through ratification of international human rights treaties, Governments undertake to put into place domestic measures and legislation compatible with their treaty obligations and duties. The domestic legal system, therefore, provides the principal legal protection of human rights guaranteed under international law. Where domestic legal proceedings fail to address human rights abuses, mechanisms and procedures for individual and group complaints are available at the regional and international levels to help ensure that international human rights standards are indeed respected, implemented, and enforced at the local level.\n!! The Udhr: The first global statement of the inherent dignity and equality of all\n\nThroughout history, conflict, in the form of wars or as popular uprisings, has often come in reaction to inhumane treatment and injustice. The English Bill of Rights in 1689, drafted after the English Civil Wars, sprang from the people's aspiration for democracy. Exactly a century later, the French Revolution gave rise to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and its proclamation of equality for all. But the Cyrus Cylinder, issued in 539 B.C. by Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid Persian Empire (ancient Iran) after his conquest of Babylon, is said by many to be the first human rights document, and the Pact of the Virtous (Hilf-al-Fudul), concluded by the Arab tribes around 590 AD, is considered one of the first human rights alliances.\n\nAfter the Second World War and the creation of the United Nations, the international community vowed never again to allow atrocities like those of that conflict. World leaders decided to complement the UN Charter with a road map to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere, always.\n\nThe document they considered, and which would later become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was taken up at the first session of the General Assembly in 1946. The Assembly reviewed this draft Declaration on Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms and transmitted it to the Economic and Social Council "for reference to the Commission on Human Rights for consideration . . . in its preparation of an international bill of rights." The Commission, at its first session early in 1947, authorized its members to formulate what it termed "a preliminary draft International Bill of Human Rights". Later the work was taken over by a formal drafting committee, consisting of members of the Commission from eight States, selected with due regard for geographical distribution.\n!! The People behind the vision: the UDHR Drafting Committee\nThe Commission on Human Rights was made up of 18 members from various political, cultural and religious backgrounds. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of American President Franklin D. Roosevelt, chaired the UDHR drafting committee. With her were Ren‚ Cassin of France, who composed the first draft of the Declaration, the Committee Rapporteur Charles Malik of Lebanon, Vice-Chairman Peng Chung Chang of China, and John Humphrey of Canada, Director of the United Nations Human Rights Division, who prepared the Declaration's blueprint. But Mrs. Roosevelt was recognized as the driving force for the Declaration's adoption.\n\nThe Commission met for the first time in 1947. In her memoirs, Eleanor Roosevelt recalls: "Dr. Chang was a pluralist and held forth in charming fashion on the proposition that there is more than one kind of ultimate reality. The Declaration, he said, should reflect more than simply Werstern ideas and Dr. Humphrey would have to be eclectic in his approach. His remark, though addressed to Dr. Humprhey, was really directed at Dr. Malik, from whom it drew a prompt retort as he expounded at some length the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. Dr. Humphrey joined enthusiastically in the discussion, and I remember that at one point Dr. Chang suggested that the Secretariat might well spend a few months studying the fundamentals of Confucianism!"\n\nThe final draft by Cassin was handed to the Commission on Human Rights, which was being held in Geneva. The draft declaration sent out to all UN member States for comments became known as the Geneva draft.\n\nThe first draft of the Declaration was proposed in September 1948 with over 50 Member States participating in the final drafting. By its resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948, the General Assembly, meeting in Paris, adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with eight nations abstaining from the vote but none dissenting. Hern n Santa Cruz of Chile, member of the drafting sub-Committee, wrote: "I perceived clearly that I was participating in a truly significant historic event in which a consensus had been reached as to the supreme value of the human person, a value that did not originate in the decision of a worldly power, but rather in the fact of existing-which gave rise to the inalienable right to live free from want and oppression and to fully develop one's personality. In the Great Hallþthere was an atmosphere of genuine solidarity and brotherhood among men and women from all latitudes, the like of which I have not seen again in any international setting."\n\nThe entire text of the UDHR was composed in less than two years. At a time when the world was divided into Eastern and Western blocks, finding a common ground on what should make the essence of the document proved to be a colossal task.\n''UN Photo''\n\nThree members of the UN Commission on Human Rights in conversation before a meeting on the Draft Covenant on Human Rights was continued.

[img[http://www.climate-change-two.net/climate.png]]\n> //United Nations Headquarters, New York, NY. Friday 6 September, 2007//\n!! Climate Change Threats - An NGO Framework for Action^^/1^^\nWe, over 1726 participants representing over 500 ~Non-Governmental Organisations from more than 62 countries,\n* recognising that we share one planet and its environment, as well as a responsibility to protect future generations,\n* recognising the special vulnerabilities of the indigenous, poor, coastal and rural populations,\n* having met at the [[60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference]] at UN Headquarters from 5-7 September, 2007, with representatives of Member States, UN agencies and programs, the scientific community, the private sector, media and civil society, and\n* having reviewed the latest scientific evidence from a wide variety of experts as well as hearing about the experiences of indigenous peoples to better understand climate change, its threats and how ~NGOs can broaden the base for knowledge and action to reduce those threats; make the following declaration:\n# We affirm that climate change is mainly anthropogenic and is one of the most serious threats humanity and our environment have ever faced which if not addressed will cause:\n## catastrophic effects to Earth's ecosystems, biodiversity and infrastructure;\n## significantly reduced availability of food, water, energy and transport;\n## massive migration of populations and the possible destruction of entire cultures and small island nations,\n## significant damage to our economic, political, cultural, social and spiritual structures,\n## increased local, national and international violence,\n## significant psychological and emotional distress to individuals and communities\n## irreversible harm to the lifestyles of indigenous peoples,\n## increased spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, and\n## negative impacts on human health and life expectancy.\n# We commit ourselves over the next 12 months to a Framework for Action that will propose NGO solutions to these threats before they become irreversible:\n## unify behind a common vision of collaboration - even if we disagree on tactics - to develop and implement plans for adaptation and mitigation1 taking into account the full range of consequences;\n## act as vocal, active partners for change with the UN, governments at all levels, ~NGOs and other members of our global community;\n## develop, implement and publicize individual and collaborative action plans for personal, economic and political change.\n# We commend ~Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's leadership in highlighting climate change as a major priority. We urge government, industry, and UN leaders, in partnership with the NGO community to emphasise proactive climate change priorities for the greater good in preparation for the [[UN Climate Change Conference in Bali]], December, 2007, and subsequent negotiations.\n# We strongly recommend, for the sake of future generations, that government and industry leaders, the UN, other international organizations and the whole of civil society partner behind and implement concrete solutions, taking into account recommendations that emerge from the Framework for Action.\n# We also strongly recommend that:\n## all governments and civil society foster an ethical, moral foundation for ongoing sustainable development in our interdependent world making the well-being of all of humankind our priority.\n## all educational institutions and media organizations more effectively educate about the issue of climate change with special emphasis on youth,\n## governmental authorities consider penalties for excessive consumption and pollution as a method of financing climate change improvements, as well as financial incentives to foster climate-friendly technologies so that fossil fuel and nuclear based technologies can be phased out.\n## governments recognize that war is damaging to the climate.\n## all governments ratify UN conventions on climate change, the Kyoto protocol and other relevant climate conventions\n# Finally, in order to implement the Framework for Action - recognizing that our views on challenges and opportunities will evolve as this process continues - we request that:\n## the [[NGO/DPI Executive Committee]] and the [[Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations|Conference Of NGOs]] (CONGO) foster a plan as soon as possible to implement the Framework as a tool for the NGO community to participate in an open, practical and transparent collaborative approach based on networking;\n## the Framework discussion culminate in an internet-based progress report to be submitted to the ~Secretary-General in one year and that a long-term dialogue for future action be fostered thereafter;\n## the Framework process should network ~NGOs that might not otherwise typically collaborate by bridging the spectrum of NGO concerns interconnected by climate change, such as sustainable development, agriculture, forestry, issues affecting indigenous peoples, biodiversity, livestock and animal welfare, nuclear proliferation, the end of war, justice, ethnic groups, multigenerational issues, youth, gender equality, education, poverty, food and water security, culture of peace, interfaith cooperation, national global security and economic justice, as well as mental, spiritual and physical health.\n\n1/ Adaptation implies making lifestyle adjustments. Mitigation implies alleviating the problem.\n\n[[Declaration Process|60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference Declaration: Process]]\n

Conference Room 7, Wednesday 12th March 2008, 10.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m.\n!! 1. Welcome & Introduction\n<<<\nShamina de Gonzaga, Chair of the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference, and Co-Chair of the Planning Committee, welcomed the NGO representatives to the NGO Planning Committee meeting and reviewed the status of the planning process:\n* With less than 6 months remaining for the organization of the conference, she recalled the initial premise of building on the opportunity of the conference being held outside of New York for the first time, to render the planning process as inclusive and participatory as possible, and in particular to involve the input of constituencies on the ground that are confronting human rights issues. While there had been a broad agreement on these principles in theory, in practice it was necessary to re-commit to this effort, especially in view of the pending deadlines.\n* On the structure of the conference, she presented an overview of the recommended format to render the conference more participatory and develop a process for identifying outcomes, through the structure of the roundtables and break-out sessions, caucuses, midday workshops, and reporting back session. Details on the structure will be listed in the Second Information Bulletin.\n//Recommendations://\n* The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights would be asked to staff a Technical Assistance / Support Centre that would be available throughout the conference to provide information to participants on matters pertaining to civil society access and engagement with human rights mechanisms;\n* A separate Resource Centre for NGOs to use computers and access basic documents on the conference and other related material was already provided for in the budget.\n<<<\n!! 2. Budget and host-country agreement\n<<<\nJuan-Carlos Brandt reported on the meeting held between the Under-Secretary-General and the Permanent Representative of France and noted that the French government was expected to respond positively to the proposed budget. A host-country agreement, which would specify the division of responsibilities among the UN, the French government, and the NGO community, was being developed. More information was expected shortly.\n<<<\n!! 3. Title\n<<<\n21 February was the deadline to receive submissions for the conference title. Approximately 25 proposals were sent by NGOs, of which five in French. The Chair of the NGO/DPI Executive Committee and the Co-chairs of the Planning Committee had met to discuss the short list of preferred titles from among the submissions. These were:\n* "60ème anniversaire de la DUDH: bilan, perspectives et débats" (60th anniversary of the UDHR: Performance, prospects and debates)\n* "La DUDH : 60 ans après, faire de l'espoir d'universalité une réalité" (The UDHR: 60 years later, making the hope of universality a reality)\n* "Human rights and responsibilities in a world without boundaries." \nThese were discussed at a meeting with the Director of the Outreach Division, who had also proposed a title "Righting Human Wrongs: The UDHR at 60." As a compromise, it was decided that the title of the Conference would be ''"Reaffirming Human Rights: The Universal Declaration at 60."'' This seemed to be a reasonable compromise. It should be rendered more attractive by the visual identity, which is in the process of being developed.\n<<<\n!! 4. Visual identity\n<<<\nDanila Boneva, the representative of OHCHR recalled that the visual identity that the OHCHR developed for the 60th anniversary of the UDHR could be used for the Conference.\n\nMr. Brandt noted that the OHCHR logo had been sent to the section of DPI that is working on the conference identity for elements of inspiration. A preliminary version was expected for end of March or beginning of April. This would be necessary for the setting up of the official conference website.\n<<<\n!! 5. Second Information Bulletin\n<<<\nThe Second Information Bulletin would contain information on the structure of the conference, the provisional agenda, the speaker nomination form, and deadlines for submitting input and speaker nominations. The deadline for submitting input on the themes would be 11 April, the deadline for submitting speaker nominations would be 18 April. The speaker nomination form had been revised, with the help of Sandra Voelker to include fields on the language in which the candidate is fluent, the sector that she/he represents, the quality of speaker's speaking skills, the subject he/she would address, and relevant experience.\n\nInformation on registration would be available following a letter to be sent out by the Co-chairs of the Planning Committee.\n\n//Recommendation://\n* The registration form should ask participants to indicate all UN languages that they understand. This would help to identify interpretation needs, especially for the break-out sessions. Additionally, participants could indicate any other specific needs, including access and accommodations for persons with disabilities.\n* The registration form should specify the number of representatives per NGO that can register. In previous years, there was a limit of 5 delegates per NGO. This year the limit may be lower due to space requirements, as well as the fact that in addition to NGOs accredited to DPI and ECOSOC, organizations accredited to UNESCO, to OHCHR, as well as other groups from the grassroots were being invited to attend.\n<<<\n!! 6. Interpretation\n<<<\nThe question of interpretation services was raised in the context of the break-out sessions. UNESCO had to be consulted regarding the number of simultaneous break-out sessions that could be accommodated and what services each session would require. Interpretation was being planned for the panels. It remained to be seen if the break-out sessions would be held in different languages, to accommodate the needs of participants from different regions.\n\nNoting that many participants may not be fluent in French nor in English, Joan Levy, Coordinator of the subcommittees, was gathering a list of NGO representatives who could serve as unofficial interpreters. Thus far there were candidates for English, German, and several Asian languages.\n<<<\n!! 7. Reports from the subcommittees\n<<<\n''Thematic''\n> Bobbi Nassar and Estelle Perry reported on the tentative outline of the conference programme, namely the five roundtables. This outline was being submitted to the institutional partners, including OHCHR, UNESCO, as well as to NGOs, for input. (The outline can be viewed in the provisional agenda in the Second Information Bulletin.)\n//Recommendations://\n* For the first roundtable in particular, which focuses on human rights mechanisms, information should be provided to the participants in advance, so that the Conference can focus on application and facilitate informed discussions.\n* "Culture of peace" was recommended for thematic inclusion in one of the roundtables.\n* It was mentioned that the Conference should acknowledge the work of organizations that may not define themselves as human rights organizations but that contribute to ensuring access to basic human rights, such as health and education.\n* In all thematic areas, there should be examples of practical successes.\n* A template should be developed for the structure of the break-out sessions.\n* The OHCHR welcomed the fact that the Conference is addressing not only civil and political, but also economic, social, and cultural rights, and offered their website for further background information on the human rights system (http://www.ohchr.org).\n* UNESCO expressed interest to focus on issues related to Article 19 of the UDHR.\n''Outreach''\n* The Co-chairs of the Outreach subcommittee had been excused from the meeting due to travel and conflicting engagements. Eva Sandis, member of the subcommittee, reported on their activities, noting that their meeting was to be held following the Planning Committee meeting.\n* A letter was being sent to organizations to identify groups on the ground should provide input on the themes as well as participate in the Conference.\n//Recommendations://\n* The regional representatives of the Executive Committee could be asked to communicate with their networks.\n* Frank Plantan, the representative of the University of Pennsylvania, mentioned that his international consortium could help contribute academic expertise.\n* The Outreach subcommittee should have technical support.\n''Midday workshops''\n> A meeting between the Midday Workshop subcommittee Co-chairs and the Co-chairs of the Planning Committee had been held. It was proposed that the Conference have up to 15 midday workshops per day. In addition to New York Subcommittee Co-chairs, counterparts in Paris (Comité de liaison auprès de l'UNESCO) and Geneva (CONGO) could assist to receive and review submissions of proposals from different regions. Efforts should be made to enable organizations based in all regions to lead workshops at the conference in Paris. The subcommittee will not be responsible for organizing workshops held outside of Paris.\n//Recommendations://\n* The letter from the Planning Committee Co-chairs, inviting NGOs to register, should be sent out before the letter inviting NGOs to submit workshop proposals is circulated.\n* There should be a communication between the counterparts in New York, Paris, Geneva, and the timeline should be developed working backwards from the date of the Conference.\n* NGOs will be encouraged to identify partner organizations to co-sponsor workshops. If necessary, the subcommittee will recommend such partnerships.\n''Media''\n> The Media subcommittee Co-chairs were developing a media kit and noted that there was interest from media groups based abroad. They were looking forward to any guidelines that they would have to follow, based on previous years' experience.\n''Research, communications and website''\n> The timeline for the official UN conference website was depending on the availability of the visual identity. It was expected that by mid or end of April, the website would be operational. The NGO framework website would be used in the interim (www.ngo-framework.net). Subcommittee Co-chair Bircan Unver presented her proposal for a section of the website that would highlight projects that NGOs have initiated in connection with subjects being addressed at the conference.\n//Recommendation://\n* The official conference website should be in French and in English. The website should include a calendar of events happening at / around the conference.\n''Multigenerational''\n> The subcommittee, consisting of four older persons and four young people, had met and decided that it would meet on the last Thursday of every month. Among the projects that they discussed were mentoring, tutoring, learning together between grand-parents and grand-children, interviewing and listening to experiences regarding human rights issues, including torture, elder and child abuse, and other matters. Noting that multigenerational relationships exist within every activity and sphere of society, the subcommittee welcomed the inputs of other subcommittees and looked forward to recommending speakers of various ages and backgrounds for the conference.\n''Events''\n> Subcommittee Co-chair Michele Peppers reported that a meeting was being scheduled for after the Planning Committee meeting and that they were waiting for feedback about events already being organized in Paris to ascertain what aspects would fall under their responsibility.\n''Rapporteurs''\n> Skilled rapporteurs would be needed for every Conference session, as their reports would provide the basis for the summaries and action points that would be presented at the closing of the conference and in any outcome papers. A large number of rapporteurs would be needed. In addition to writing skills, an understanding of the substance of the Conference would be required.\n''Travel''\n> The Fundraising subcommittee of the NGO/DPI Executive Committee had approved the proposal made by the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation. For best rates on hotel and travel, time is of the essence and Planning Committee members were urged to make their reservations in advance. The FAF option would allow NGO reps to stay in the same boutique hotels in the vicinity of the UNESCO. By using that plan, NGO representatives would be contributing to the fundraising efforts of the Executive Committee. The proposed FAF arrangements included air and land for 8, 6, or 4 nights, as well as land-only proposals. For US citizens, this option would enable a tax deduction of 200 USD per person. Details can be found on the website of the NGO DPI Executive Committee, or on the website of the FAF. Elaine Valdov, at FAF could be contacted at tel. 646-703-1974 for further information.\n''Fundraising''\n> The budget submitted by DPI to the French government is intended to cover only the infrastructural needs of the conference, the cost of which is usually absorbed by holding the Conference at the UN's NY headquarters. That budget would not cover the travel for speakers and other related needs. NGO fundraising efforts to support the participation of speakers from developing countries, as well as facilitate the participation of NGO reps from the grassroots, and to sponsor events, were ongoing. A proposal had been submitted to the Human Security Trust Fund of the UN which, if received, would possibly support up to thirty representatives from the grassroots. The governments of France and Spain had also expressed interest to help facilitate the participation of NGO representatives from the developing world.\n!! 8. Deadlines and process\n* 11 April is the deadline for providing input of themes of the roundtables.\n* 18 April is the deadline for submitting speaker nominations.\n* This information, as well as the addresses to which such input should be sent, will be provided in the Second Information Bulletin, to be circulated by DPI and which should be shared with all other relevant partner institutions and NGOs.\n* Concern was expressed that not all input received would be reflected in the final programme. It was recalled that the goal was to understand what the priority issues of the participants may be, so that the Conference can take into account these perspectives.\n<<<\n!! 9. Next Planning Committee meeting\n<<<\nThe next meeting of Planning Committee Co-chairs is scheduled for 28 March, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the UNESCO offices, DC-2, ninth floor conference room.\n<<<

Welcome & Introduction\n<<<\n[[Shamina de Gonzaga]], Chair of the 61^^st^^ Annual DPI/NGO Conference and Co-Chair of the Planning Committee welcomed the NGO representatives to the 2^^nd^^ Planning Committee meeting. She mentioned that useful consultations had been conducted in the past month, which would be shared later in the meeting, and introduced Mr. [[Ramu Damodaran]], Chief of the Civil Society Service, Department of Public Information.\n\nMr. Damodaran thanked Ms. de Gonzaga for her introduction and acknowledged guests at the meeting including representatives of UNESCO, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the French Permanent Mission to the UN, the Slovenian Permanent Mission to the UN, Kyung Hee University of Seoul.\n\nHe mentioned that the Conference should be monitored by NGOs worldwide and that it should build on the success of the [[60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference]] held last year. He noted the unprecedented characteristic of the 2008 conference, with regard to the location, and the new partners, including the Government of France, UNESCO, and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. He mentioned the sensitivities surrounding a NGO conference on human rights and recalled that the DPI/NGO conference in 1995 was also focused on human rights.

The list of advisers and focal points will be announced in the second information bulletin.\n!! 3. Report on status of logistical arrangements for the Conference\n<<<\n[[Juan Carlos Brandy]], Chief of the NGO section of the Department of Public Information, and Co-Chair of the Planning Committee, updated on the progress of Conference arrangements, stating that the location of the Conference was 85% definite, that his Section was working to develop a budget, but was still waiting on some information, and that efforts were being made to engage in new partnerships to strengthen the UN's mission.\n<<<\n!! 4. Report on status of New York based Sub-Committees\n<<<\nMs. de Gonzaga invited Ms. [[Joan Levy]], who had received and coordinated applications to update on the status of the Sub-Committees\n\n[[Joan Levy]] informed that over 100 applications for Sub-Committee participation had been received and that more were still being submitted.\n\nThe three Sub-Committees that had to meet pressing deadlines were the [[Outreach|Outreach Sub-Committee]], [[Thematic and Speakers|Thematic and Speakers Sub-Committee]] and [[Research, Communications & Website]] Sub-Committees.\n\nThe New York based co-facilitators would be Sister [[Joan Kirby]] ([[Temple of Understanding]]) and Jean Stallings/ [[Vicki Soanes]] ([[ATD Fourth World Movement]]) for the [[Outreach Committee]]; [[Bobbi Nassar]], ([[NGO Committee on Human Rights]]) and [[Estelle Perry]] ([[Center for UN Reform]]) for the [[Thematic and Speakers Sub-Committee]]; and [[Robert Pollard]], ([[NGO Committee on Education]]) and [[Bircan Unver]], ([[Light Millennium]]) for the Research, Communications & Website Sub-Committee.\n\nA spreadsheet of contact information of all facilitators would soon be available; [[Ms. Levy|Joan Levy]] will remain the contact person for matters concerning the Sub-Committees.\n\nMs. de Gonzaga thanked Ms. Levy and reviewed the immediate tasks of the three Sub-Committees that had been mentioned:\n!!! Outreach Sub-Committee\n* Identify constituencies worldwide whose human rights are being threatened and whose perspectives and ideas should inform the Conference\n* Identify and reach out to organizations that can serve as a bridge to such constituencies and other groups on the ground that may be outside the formal networks of UN NGOs, and provide a means for them to express their views and, if possible, participate in person at the Conference\n!!! Thematic and Speakers Sub-Committee\nBased on input received from consultations there appear to be certain issues that are echoed by many, as well as cross-cutting perspectives:\n* Among the issues highlighted by many, were human rights education; how the media represents human rights issues (the need to involve members of media not just as moderators of conference panels, or reporters to cover the conference, but also to engage reporters and media executives in the actual discussions); justice, the rule of law, and what justice signifies for victims (does the conviction of a human rights offender constitute justice for victims who may still be without access to care, education etc.); the relationship between human security and human rights; other perspectives of interest included the concept of human rights in a world without borders (looking at human rights and institutional mechanisms in the context of shifting boundaries of national sovereignty, and in light of global issues such as climate change, migration, trafficking, and new technologies).\n* Among the cross-cutting perspectives, the focus on empowering civil society to better access information and engage effectively in the protection and promotion of human rights, as well as the universality and indivisibility of human rights, were emphasized as elements that should be central in all thematic areas.\n!!! Research, Communications & Website Sub-Committee\nAs powerful tool to disseminate information, and to enable interaction, the Conference website should utilize blogs, reference current events, and make use of other elements to make the Conference more participatory, recalling that last year's conference website got over 800,000 hits.\n\n[[Mr. Brandt|Juan Carlos Brandt]] mentioned the need for efficiency, and that those who are not up to speed with technological advances miss out on a new way of thinking. New networking possibilities include MySpace, Wikipedia and the concept of a "sandbox". He introduced [[Sasa Gorisek]] from the [[DPI/NGO Section]].\n\n[[Ms. Gorisek|Sasa Gorisek]] referenced discussions in the previous Planning Committee meeting about utilizing social networking sites like YouTube and Facebook and spoke about creating a virtual resource center in addition to the online website. She mentioned that the technological development would require participation from NGOs, including in terms of financial resources.\n!! 5. Open discussion\n<<<\n[[Ms. de Gonzaga|Shamina de Gonzaga]] opened the floor for questions and comments.\n\nInterventions were made by [[Narelle Townsend]], [[Cora Weiss]], [[Jerry Spivack]], [[Michaela Walsh]], [[Estelle Perry]], [[Robert Pollard]], [[Bircan Unver]], [[Bill Gellerman]], [[Noema Chaplin]], [[Janet Stovin]], [[Shulamith Koenig]], [[Joan Kirby]] and [[Aaron Etra]] - a student from NYU.\n!!! Recommendations from the floor:\n* recognizing that human rights are intergenerational, the possibility of working with schools in France and locally should be explored further, taking the meetings of the Sub-Committees to universities, in order to enable students to participate;\n* referencing the lack of people under 25 years at the Planning Committee and the fact that in many countries the majority of the population is youth, involving more young people, not only as interns, but as partners in the planning process was highlighted;\n* civil society is an unarmed superpower, 8 years ago, 10,000 people gathered together to declare peace as a human right, in that regard, the conference must discuss the interconnectedness of human rights and peace, NGOs do make important contributions and have been responsible for bringing many issues to the UN's agenda;\n* the conference should explore changes to its format, in order to be more participatory, allowing civil society to work together to develop concrete proposals that can go down in history;\n* it would be useful to reflect on the status of human rights 10 years ago, and the status of HR today and to clarify to youth their role in the human rights agenda;\n* conversations taking place in different places could be connected via video link during the conference;\n* [[flipvideo]] is giving free handheld devices that record up to 2 hours of material, could be used;\n* [[www.ngo-framework.net|http://www.ngo-framework.net]] is a working website that includes key human rights documents going back 60 years was put forward as a resource developed by the co-facilitator for the communications/website Sub-Committee; [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com]], which allows anyone to download the entire website and customize it, was recommended;\n* If the structure of the conference is changed, Thematic and Speakers Sub-Committee members need to be informed in order to meet the deadlines;\n* facilities should be available in the evening during the Conference, so the NGOs attending are able to engage in caucusing, or working groups;\n* meetings could be held at universities or in hotels with large conference rooms;\n* the conference could be designed so that every committee achieves an outcome, and approaches its work with a long term perspective, reaching beyond the Conference itself;\n* an Outcomes Sub-Committee could be formed; if outcomes are planned before attending the actual conference, then the Conference can be more action-oriented;\n* to engage youth, information needs to be concise and should include specific action items;\n* the conference should help develop a new political culture based on human rights, and work to spread a holistic vision of human rights, understanding human rights as a way of life;\n* the vocabulary of the conference, could shift from HR violations to human rights realization, and the word "learning," could replace "education", which evokes a sense of academia and schooling, whereas learning complies with the idea of every human being alive knowing human rights as a way of life - on December 19, the UN declared 2009 as a year of HR learning;\n* the Thematic and Speakers Sub-Committee could work on an action plan for producing a document setting out powerful messages from civil society worldwide;\n* outreach should be linked with outcomes, and everyone who participates should have a voice before outcomes are decided on - graduate students could tabulate information from participants, which would entail a comprehensive research project, and also involve youth in the agenda in a meaningful way;\n* the Conference should highlight the relevance of the UDHR in modern society.\n!!! Questions:\n* How will the New York Planning Committee involve actors based in other countries?\n* could there be a period before each meeting when people are educated about technological developments, so that those who are not digitized will not be marginalized from the planning process?\n* could the planning meetings be webcast?\n* what is seen as the purpose of the conference? If the conference is successful, what will the world be like?\n* conferences in the past have entailed a few people talking to a larger group, but not much action; however, if the conference is focused on human rights, action is required, what actions can be taken?\n* could the problem of organ trafficking and illegal transplants be addressed at the conference?\n* when will speakers forms be available?\n* how would visa issues for participants be addressed?\n!!! C. Responses:\n* the Sub-Committee meetings could be held outside of the UN, in universities to engage students;\n* students from many schools currently participate in committees as full time members, not only as interns;\n* in view of new partners, including the French government, UNESCO and UNOHCHR, it is important that all parties have the opportunity to input to the Conference planning, while remembering that no matter how many institutional partners are involved, it is still a consultative process, in which civil society has an equal voice;\n* each Sub-Committee of the Planning Committee will be expected to liaise and consult with counterparts abroad to ensure the effective input of all parties in the development of the Conference;\n* technological training for small groups would be useful; the Communications/Website Sub-Committee could work on this;\n* webcasting meetings would depend on financial implications;\n* human rights realization is a key focus, and in all areas of the Conference, it is important to identify how and where progress is being achieved and how positive efforts can be strengthened;\n* the proposal of an outcomes committee could be explored with a view to developing action points that could be undertaken following the Conference;\n* efforts should be made to ensure the round tables are more participatory, with fewer presenters and more interaction with participants, the creation of conversation lounges that will prompt off the record discussion with arbiters, should also facilitate more interaction and new formats for the Conference should be envisaged;\n* individuals who wish to address specific issues, such as the practice of human organ transplants, should liaise with the thematic committee;\n* Mr. Brandt mentioned that the same speaker forms as those used last year could be used this year; and that speakers forms would be ready to distribute the next day. He reminded that the High Commissioner for Human Rights, [[Louise Arbour]], has already accepted to address the Conference as an opening keynote speaker;\n* It was subsequently suggested that more detailed information would be needed on the speaker forms and that a revised speaker form be drafted with the help of the thematic Sub-Committee. Ms. de Gonzaga expressed the wish that the closing key note address should be a strong human rights defender, representing civil society;\n* the French government is aware of the visa issues and has expressed its willingness to facilitate visas for speakers and participants;\n!! 6. Discussion of timeline\n<<<\nIt was noted that deadlines had not been discussed prior to the meeting. Sol Oca from the DPI NGO Section explained that early deadlines were necessary as all materials would be printed in New York City, and then shipped to Paris; therefore DPI must account for this shipping time.\n!! DPI put forth the following deadlines:\n* ''15 February'': Deadline for title submissions\nOnce the title is determined, the visual identity of the conference will be considered; title possibilities will be submitted later, perhaps on some website where everyone can make a submission.\n* ''15 March'': Deadline for articulations, blurbs, themes\nOnce the content is determined, programs can be created.\n* ''31 March'': Deadline for nominating proposed speakers\n** ''A list'' - most wanted speakers\n** ''B list''\n!! 7. Remarks and announcements\n<<<\nThe Representatives of UNESCO, the Permanent Mission of France, and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, were invited to take the floor. All parties welcomed the collaboration in the context of the Conference. It was also noted that the slogan for the Commemoration of the UDHR is "Dignity and Justice for all of us."\n\n[[Jeffery Huffines]], chair of the [[NGO/DPI Executive Committee]] announced that the [[NGO Reporter]] Was online, and that anyone who did not receive a newsletter should email him. He also recalled the NGO/DPI fundraising appeal which had been circulated in December 2007, noting the deficit in the budget of the NGO/DPI Executive Committee due to expenditures for last year's Conference, and the fact that the mission to Paris and Geneva in January was only made possible thanks to contributions earmarked for that purpose. NGO representatives were urged to make contributions.\n!! 8. Next Planning Committee meeting\n<<<\nThe next meeting of the full Planning Committee would likely be held at the end of February and will be announced by e-mail.\nA meeting of co-facilitators for the Sub-Committees will be held on Thursday 14 February from 3 to 5, room to be announced.\n<<<\n!! 9. Adjournment\n<<<\nThe meeting was adjourned.\n<<<
''2 - 5 pm. Conference Room 8''\n!! 1. Welcome and Introduction\nJuan Carlos Brandt, Chief of the NGO Section of the Department of Public Information, and Co-Chair of the Planning Committee, welcomed the NGO representatives to the planning committee meeting and acknowledged DPI interns and staff in attendance.\n!! 2. Report from November mission to Paris and Geneva\nShamina de Gonzaga, Chair of the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference, and Co-Chair of the Planning Committee, made a brief report on the fact-finding mission to Paris and Geneva:\n* Participants in the mission included Sol Oca (Officer in the DPI/NGO Section); Isabelle Broyer (Chief, Guided Tours Unit); Jeffery Huffines (Chair, NGO/DPI Executive Committee); Shamina de Gonzaga (Chair, 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference), and the key collaboration of Jean-Pierre Bugada of the United Nations Regional Information Centre of Brussels.\n* The mission included meetings in Paris with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs; UNESCO; UNESCO's NGO Liaison Committee; the Commission Nationale Consultative des Droits de l'Homme; the International Federation for Human Rights, and meetings in Geneva with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; the United Nations Office in Geneva; various NGOs brought together for an informal consultation by UNOHCHR; the Lutheran World Federation (also Chair of the NGO Committee on Human Rights).\n* Results from the fact-finding mission indicated that all partners were receptive in principle to the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference; UNESCO Headquarters provides ample space and infrastructure to host the Conference and would allocate all available Conference rooms to the DPI/NGO Conference from 3 to 5 September - however, while the space would be made available free of charge, services including interpretation, security, webcast, support staff etc. would have to be accounted for in the budget of the Conference; the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs also welcomed the possibility of hosting the Conference in Paris and affirmed that the dates of the Conference did not clash with any other events or celebrations in connection with the commemoration of the UDHR, and requested that a budget detailing the various expenses that would have to be met, be presented to them at the earliest; the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed interest in collaborating with the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference, with regard to the topics of the meeting and the outreach to Geneva based NGOs that work with the OHCHR; UNOG also expressed willingness to collaborate, notably in the area of press and communications; the various NGO representatives consulted with expressed interest to be kept informed of the process and gave feedback to the topics and vision for the Conference.\n!! 3. Background Paper\nShamina de Gonzaga distributed the Agenda for the meeting, as well as the Information Bulletin that had been previously circulated by e-mail, and a working paper, elaborating the goals of the Conference, as well as setting out a proposal for the structure of the Planning Committee. (The information bulletin and working paper can be viewed at the DPI/NGO section website, as well as on the NGO/DPI Executive Committee website.)\n\nThe discussions relating to the elements noted in the working paper included the following points:\n!!! A. On content:\n* Achieving consensus on topics might not be possible, however planning committee members would be encouraged to work in a collaborative and creative manner, and aim to identify cross-cutting themes and perspectives, understanding that the scope of the Conference will allow for in depth discussions on a variety of issues;\n* It was announced the UN High-Commissioner for Human Rights, Mme Louise Arbour, has confirmed her participation as one of the keynote speakers of the conference;\n* Participants should not be passive observers; the modality of the Conference will be interactive, and panels should be organized to enable maximum interactivity, when taking into account the number of speakers per panel and identifying the candidates for moderators and speakers;\n* Sharing best practices, successes and challenges that NGOs working on human rights issues have encountered, and focusing on actionable proposals that could enhance civil society's ability to protect and promote human rights, should be at the center of the dialogues, in all thematic aspects that will be addressed.\n* The emphasis of the working paper on involving civil society from developing countries and outreaching to constituencies that are often not included in UN Conferences, as well as to mainstream constituents that may not have an immediate interest in human rights issues or an awareness of the UDHR, was welcomed;\n* The need to involve the media, not only for dissemination purposes, but also in dialogues about how human rights issues are covered, and to outreach to alternative media, and human rights organizations with a strong communications mechanism was stressed;\n* It was recommended that press releases be disseminated at the regional level to promote and increase a diverse attendance at the conference;\n* Bringing in the experiences of human rights issues at the local level and encouraging the empowerment of civil society at the grassroots was encouraged;\n* A means of raising awareness of the conference would be to make the connection between the human rights issues to be addressed at the Conference and current events taking place worldwide that impact human rights;\n* It was suggested that the Conference include a workshop focusing on human rights and the environment;\n* The Conference should aim to provide strategies that can be implemented and disseminated after the Conference as follow-up;\n* The importance of involving participants in a meaningful and creative way, was stressed, noting that NGOs participating at the conference represent various issues and agendas, and should be able to address sensitive matters of interest in an open and respectful manner;\n* Conversation lounges were being proposed as a space for off the record discussions, to facilitate open dialogue and interaction around sensitive issues.\n* The use of technology space, such as YouTube for increasing dialogue in connection with the Conference, was recommended;\n* The concerns of various constituencies can be reflected in the Conference through the various round tables and workshops;\n* The sub-committees will need to identify cross-cutting perspectives and goals that can be applied and harnessed in the context of the diverse discussion topics and settings;\n* The need for interpretation and translation is a major concern, affecting both the format and budget of the Conference;\n* Involving regional press in the Conference was suggested as one way of ensuring that communication reaches diverse constituencies;\n* It was suggested that the UDHR be read aloud at some point during the Conference.\n!!! B. On the proposed planning committee structure and working methods:\n* The planning committee will have branches in Paris, where UNESCO is Headquartered, and in Geneva, as the seat of OHCHR and the Human Rights Council, and will also include regional focal points;\n* Each branch will have facilitators for specific aspects of conference planning. Facilitators should communicate regularly, in accordance with the deadlines at hand;\n* The planning committee will comprise various subcommittees;\n* NGO representatives can work on one sub-committee only;\n* Monday, 21 January 2008 is the deadline for New York based NGO representatives to request participation on a sub-committee. Requests are to be sent via e-mail to DPINGO61@yahoo.com including the reason for interest on the specific sub-committee, as well as a second choice;\n* NGOs that are not associated to DPI, but that work in partnership with UNESCO, the OHCHR or the French government will be involved;\n* DPI/NGO section remains responsible for sending letters of invitation, however all partners should be involved in nominating speakers etc;\n* The use of technology to find new methods of operation and communication among NGO representatives in diverse locations was encouraged, taking into account the fact that the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference marks the first time that the Conference is being held outside of the UN's New York HQ.\n!!! C. On the sub-committees of the planning committee:\n* The outreach committee will seek to identify and compile data on the scope of situations, issues and constituencies that should inform the agenda of the Conference and be represented by conference participants. Communication with diverse constituencies needs to be initiated before the Conference, with a view to involving conference participants in an active and focused manner;\n* The groups that need to be identified should include groups that are subject to human rights violations of civil, political, social, economic, or cultural nature, as well as groups that need to be informed about human rights issues and their role in addressing them, such as media, private sector, philanthropists, or local authorities;\n* The thematic committee will develop central themes and invite the input of experts in the topic at hand;\n* The research and website committee would be renamed the research and information and communication committee. It can also help facilitate the work of the other sub-committees by keeping track of their developments;\n* The website should be dynamic, and include relevant links to human rights related news stories, information and initiatives;\n* The website should also facilitate the nomination of speakers and the compilation of data;\n* The media committee will produce a daily newsletter of the conference providing a clear, constructive open voice. Student journalists based in Paris could be involved in that capacity;\n* Information on the conference should be disseminated to all regions;\n* The matter of particular interpretation needs for participants, such as sign language, or languages not included among the UN's six official languages, as well as information on the application for visas for France, could be addressed in part by the specific requests/needs committee;\n* A budget to sponsor the travel and accommodation of NGO representatives and human rights defenders and victims from the grass-roots needs to be considered. NGOs with representatives in the field would be encouraged to help support the participation of their colleagues working on the ground. Professional fundraising opportunities would also be explored;\n* An orientation to Paris for participants can be offered by the travel and accommodation committee;\n* The midday workshops committee could envisage holding parallel workshops in various locations worldwide for NGO representatives who are unable to attend the Conference in person;\n* The youth committee was suggested to be renamed multi-generational committee to facilitate and to foster mentoring and helpful exchanges among seasoned NGO representatives and young people who are new to the process;\n!! 4. Next Meeting\nThe next Planning Committee meeting was announced for Friday, 25 January 2008 2-5 pm; this was subsequently changed to 31 January at the same time, in Conf. Room 3.

The 60^^th^^ Anniversary of the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] provides an opportunity to reach out to all members of society, to reflect on the values set forth in the UDHR, their relevance today, and to question why these values are not being upheld universally, and how we can make a difference.\n\nIn order to awaken this awareness, it is vital to move away from theoretical approaches, towards an inclusive and action oriented forum where all stakeholders have a voice and are asked to envision the steps that would be required to address the current disparities between policy and implementation.\n\nIt is therefore crucial that we involve persons with direct experience in human rights issues, who can impart their experiences and how they have coped, offering profound insight into the reality of human rights issues worldwide.\n\nThrough the 61^^st^^ Annual DPI/NGO Conference, we can create the framework for discussions that are forward thinking, exploring civil society contributions to advancing the respect for human rights, and examining how we can enhance civil society's efforts including through a constructive self-critical approach.\n\nThe DPI/NGO Conference can help foster a new mindset around human rights, encouraging greater awareness of the state of human rights in the world today, and opening up opportunities for people to identify and take part in solutions.
''Create an action oriented Conference:''\n* Participants should not be passive observers, but instead should be encouraged and given the opportunity to actively engage in discussions and problem solving with invited speakers\n* To that end, participants could be asked to identify ahead of time which topics are of greatest interest to them\n* Panels should feature a limited number of speakers to allow for more question and answer time\n* Speakers could be asked to formulate their presentations in ways that will engage the audience, posing questions and challenges to them\n* In addition to formal meetings, informal off the record discussion settings could be enabled through "conversation lounges"\n''Strengthen civil society efforts to advance the respect for human rights:''\n* in the lead up to the conference, a subcommittee of the planning committee could focus on gathering data of civil society efforts that have been successful\n* the conference could highlight current situations where civil society could assume a more active role in promoting respect for human rights\n* the conference could aim to identify what obstacles faced by civil society could be overcome (how can NGOs be more effective, increase their ability to partner with one another when working in the same area, avoid duplication of activities, increase strategic planning and pooling of limited resources for the benefit of the target community)\n* members of communities at the center of human rights violations (past or present) could be invited to speak from their experience in this regard\n''Reach out to civil society beyond the UN NGO community:''\n* a subcommittee of the planning committee could identify groups that are underrepresented in most UN NGO fora and whose experiences and insights should inform or be informed by our discussions\n* these groups could include ethnic or religious minorities, socially and economically marginalized communities in both developing and developed countries, youth and older persons, women from areas of conflict, young entrepreneurs and business leaders, human rights victims and defenders, parliamentarians, local authorities, media, philanthropists\n* preparatory events could be hosted by various partners in academia and other organizations to increase outreach and feed into the conference by producing a paper on key findings of the event and sending one or two representatives to the conference\n* a subcommittee could identify organizations that work with key constituencies at the grass roots and that could commit to helping to receive input from them and potentially sponsor their participation at the conference\n* NGOs could be encouraged to include a representative from the grassroots as part of their delegation to the conference\n* Efforts should be made to assess and attend to the interpretation needs of participants\n* In parallel to the conference, events and installations that are accessible to the broad public such as a fair of NGOs, exhibits and concerts could be hosted\n''Increase awareness and sensitize society globally to human rights issues:''\n* the conference could include a focus on strategies to promote human rights education \n* the conference could examine ways in which traditional and alternative media could generate a global commitment to respect for human rights, and why this is or is not happening as of yet\n* the dimension of spirituality and inner transformation as central to the fulfillment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights could be highlighted, and the Conference could include a non-religious silent meditation for peace and human rights\n* Leading human rights organizations could be asked to examine what messages they want to communicate to the broad public and how they consider their messages are being received\n''Enhance civil society engagement with the existing international mechanisms for Human Rights:''\n* NGOs that interact with existing international and national human rights bodies, as well as representatives and members of those entities, could be invited to share their experiences and reflect on ways to improve civil society engagement
For the past 60 years, the DPI/NGO Conference has been held at the UN's New York Headquarters, and in recent years, has welcomed up to 2000 representatives of non-governmental organizations.\n\nThe 61^^st^^ Annual DPI/NGO Conference will be held in Paris from 3-5 September 2008 in commemoration of the 60^^th^^ anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, marking the first time in the history of the Conference that it will be held outside of New York.\n\nThe choice of Paris as the venue for the 61^^st^^ Conference, as well as the subject matter of Human Rights, raises several opportunities for consideration, including Outreach to new constituencies who have not participated in previous Conferences, namely civil society from regions that are typically under-represented, such as Africa and the Middle East, due to distance, difficulty with visas and language barriers.\n\nBuilding on the momentum on the 60^^th^^ Anniversary of the UDHR, we should also envision how the DPI/NGO Conference can contribute to raising public awareness about Human Rights beyond the UN affiliated NGO community.\n\nIn addition to ~NGOs, the Conference could offer opportunities for other sectors that can impact the awareness of HR issues (i.e. media, academia, entertainment industry, philanthropy, religious and spiritual constituencies) and that have a role in the implementation of HR (i.e. Member States, local government, parliamentarians, legal sector) to become involved.\n\nThe space available at UNESCO Headquarters can accommodate the general format of the Conference, including opening and closing ceremonies, overflow room, panels and round tables, midday workshops and other informal settings for networking and off the record discussions.
{{medium{Outreach ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* This committee should investigate who / what areas of the world should be represented at the Conference, who are we not reaching?\n* Identifying key constituencies globally that should be represented at the Conference; e.g.\n** Silenced voices;\n** groups with no voice (extreme poverty; excluded minorities);\n** communities from conflict areas such as Kashmir, Darfur, Palestine, Israel, Myanmar;\n** Dalit;\n** Roma;\n** Indigenous persons;\n** Family of victims of forced disappearance;\n** persons with disabilities;\n** persons who have survived trafficking, forced labor;\n** persons living with HIV/AIDS;\n** migrant workers;\n** slum dwellers;\n** innercity dwellers in developed and developing world;\n** women from areas of conflict and post-conflict...\n* Researching which ~NGOs work with those constituencies and can facilitate their input into the planning process;\n* Asking those organizations to fund one or two representatives from those communities to come to the Conference;\n* Keeping track of which groups have been outreached to and ensuring that they are kept up to date with relevant developments\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Thematic Development and Speaker ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Develop sub themes of conference, writing description of panels and round tables, and soliciting input from experts in the topic at hand;\n* Pair nominated speakers with relevant round table;\n* Help compile nominations of speakers, ensuring complete information, and verifying speaker availability\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Research, Communications & Website Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Develop Conference website, post information on the Conference, research other relevant data, documentation, links that should be on the website;\n* Develop and monitor conference blog and other IT based communications and interactions\n> //See// [[Research, Communications & Website Sub-Committee]]\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Midday Workshops ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* This committee will review requests to sponsor midday workshops, help to avoid overlap and ensure a diverse and substantive set of workshops.\n* In addition to workshops at the Conference in Paris, parallel workshops could be held at other UN Headquarters worldwide\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Multigenerational ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Foster mlultigenerational interactions aroud human rights issues\n* Identify and mentor yout* h participants\n* Coordinate activities during conference\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Media and Publicity ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Identify media and public relations opportunities\n* Assist in liaising with mainstream or alternative media with interest in human rights\n* Produce daily newsletter of conference\n* Help organize interviews\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Specific Requests/Needs ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Identify and help attend to speakers and participants with special interpretation or other needs;\n* Assist in orientation and networking for speakers and participants who are unfamiliar with UN and NGO fora\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Events ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Help coordinate proposals and logistics for Conference side-events including receptions, performances etc.\n* Provide information on all side-events being held at the Conference\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Travel and Accommodation ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Help make available lists of hotels within affordable range;\n* Work with DPI to verify that speakers are arriving / departing within reasonable time\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Troubleshooting ~Sub-Committee}}} +++\n* Field questions from NGO representatives\n* Summarize complaints\n* Bring to attention of planning committee co-chairs\n===\n\n\n{{medium{Fundraising}}} +++\n* All planning committee members who can assist in identifying sponsors should communicate with [[Jeffery Huffines]], Chair of the [[NGO/DPI Executive Committee]]
The planning committee for the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference will have branches in New York, Paris, and Geneva, as well as Focal Points in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe.\n\nEfforts should be made to invite civil society inputs from other regions via video-conference, electronic forums, perhaps with assistance of UNICs and other UN HDQ.\n\nThe planning committee will comprise various subcommittees. All members of the planning committee should serve on a subcommittee.\n\nEach subcommittee will have a facilitator in each location.\n\nNGO representatives can serve on one sub-committee only and are asked to assess their ability to commit the necessary time and identify which subcommittee is of greatest interest to them, and which they could best contribute to.
Meetings among the New York based facilitators of the various subcommittees should be held twice monthly to review progress made.\n\nA meeting among all New York based planning committee members can be held once a month.\n\nFacilitators will determine the frequency and format of their respective subcommittee meetings, in consultation with the members of their subcommittee.\n\nNew York based NGO representatives are requested to send an e-mail to [[DPINGO61@yahoo.com|mailto:dpingo61@yahoo.com]] by 21 January, specifying which sub-committee they are most interested to participate in, as well as their second choice, and describing in no more than fifty words why they have chosen this sub-committee.\n\n(The meeting schedule of the Paris and Geneva planning committee branches should be determined by the end of January.)
Aiming to assess how the status of respect for human rights has evolved since the signing of the UDHR, what challenges are being confronted today, how to define our present goals, and how we can be empowered to achieve them, some of the suggested themes / perspectives to address at the Conference have included:\n\n''Universality, Dignity, Justice, the rule of law''\n* Dignity and Justice for All of Us has been adopted by UNOHCHR as the guiding theme for the commemoration;\n* The outcomes of the series of dialogues being hosted by UNOHCHR could be acknowledged at the Conference and feed into the planning process;\n* The gap between existing human rights policy and implementation;\n* Anti-corruption;\n* Extreme poverty;\n* The interlinkange between socio-economic and civil and political rights;\n* Right to decent work\n''Human rights in a world without borders''\n* Understanding human rights in the context of the globalized world - addressing \n** Migration;\n** Trafficking;\n** Climate change;\n** Information technology; \n** Business from a Human Rights perspective;\n* highlighting the need for human transformation to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the future;\n* Questioning where power would lie in a world without frontiers as we have known them and which organizations are or have the capacity to become truly universal and all encompassing\n''Peace as a Human Right and Human rights in the context of the war on terror''\n* In light of the impact on human rights resulting from measures being taken in the name of security and the war on terror, how to encourage the pursuit of peace rather than the perpetration of fear and violence\n''Human rights education''\n* How to foster human rights education worldwide and at all levels?\n* What are the existing models, what strategies can be utilized to further promote human rights education?\n* The role of human rights education in building peaceful societies and promoting development\n''Gender Equality''\n* What initiatives should be taken or strengthened, recognizing that achieving women's empowerment and gender equality is vital to improving the status of human rights worldwide?\n''Impacting the way human rights are represented in the media''\n* How to sustain the interest of the media and ensure more accurate and in-depth reporting\n''Human rights and economics''\n* The complex relationship between economic interests and human rights - how to promote respect for human rights in a profit driven environment - what tools can be implemented to promote ethical behavior on the part of governments, corporations and to empower civil society?\n''The Universal Declaration of Human rights as a Collection of Values''\n* Building on the universality of human rights and of the Declaration itself, as a collection of values, how can respect for HR become a unifying factor regardless of religious or cultural tradition?\n''Crosscutting questions:''\nWhat opportunities are, or can be made available for civil society, in partnership with local government, religious or educational institutions, and the private sector, to improve respect for human rights at the local level, even in the absence of strong political institutions, or in economically depressed areas, or zones of conflict?\n\nExamples of civil society efforts in fields such as reconciliation, peacebuilding, and entrepreneurship could be highlighted, and ways to increase collaboration among NGOs working in the same area, with a view to pooling resources, sharing responsibilities, avoiding duplication of efforts and improving strategic planning and development of local capacity, could be explored.
* The outreach, thematic/speaker, and research/website subcommittees should begin their work by the end of January. \n* The Conference title should be determined, and prominent speakers should be informally invited by beginning February to assess their availability.

<<<\n"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."\n//Albert Einstein// (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate \n<<<\n''Climate Change 2.0'' is being developed from a vision of a collaborative application of ''Web 2.0'' methodologies to the global climate change crisis and incorporating a transition to an Open Source, Creative Commons climate. ''Climate Change 2.0'' is based on the recognition of the vital contribution that the combination of the [[economics of information|Economics of information]] and information and communications technologies (ICT) can contribute - and already are contributing - to addressing what is increasingly recognized as the greatest challenges to a sustainable common future, both through the power of the technologies and through the progressive discovery and realization of the fundamental properties and nature of a digital knowledge-based universe and the accompanying profound freedoms and transformation of human consciousness and the emergence of digitally-connected global civil society that has been growing rapidly since the early stages of preparations for the 1992 Earth Summit - of which the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]] was a key component.\n<<<\n"''The Interlocking Crises''\nUntil recently, the planet was a large world in which human activities and their effects were neatly compartmentalized within nations, within sectors (energy, agriculture, trade), and within broad areas of concern (environment, economics, social). These compartments have begun to dissolve. This applies in particular to the various global 'crises' that have seized public concern, particularly over the past decade. These are not separate crises: an environmental crisis, a development crisis, an energy crisis. They are all one."\n//[[Our Common Future, From One Earth to One World|http://www.un-documents.net/ocf-ov.htm]]//\n<<<\n!! See also the site map for Climate Change 2.0:\n* <<siteMap cc2.0 3>>\n

!! Overview\n<<<\nOver the course of three days (from 3 - 5 September 2008), 2000+ representatives of NGOs, grass-roots organizations, UN system, private sector, academia, media, philanthropists, youth and other constituencies will gather in Paris - city of the signature of the UDHR in 1948 - to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the UDHR by examining its application in the context of current realities and emerging issues worldwide.\n\nThe Conference will provide \n* background on the human rights treaty system (Day 1);\n* perspectives on the implementation of human rights in the context of on-going challenges as well as emerging issues worldwide (Day 2);\n* and outlooks on how to make better use of existing mechanisms for the protection of human rights at the international and national levels, as well as examine ways to empower civil society at the local level (Day 3).\nFollowing is an overview of the tentative programme of the 61st Annual DPI/NGO Conference, including structure, thematic outline, and opportunities for participation, reflecting proposals formulated by the thematic subcommittee of the Conference Planning Committee and other input received.\n\nNGO representatives are being invited to:\n* provide input regarding the topics of break-out sessions;\n* reflect on useful outcomes for each round-table;\n* nominate speakers\nThe deadline for submitting speaker nomination forms is 18 April. Completed forms should be sent to the following e-mail address: advisorsubcommittees08@yahoo.com\n\nThe deadline for providing input on the topics of round-tables and break-out sessions is 11 April.\nComments should be sent to 2008.dpi.ngo.conference@gmail.com.\n\nDetails regarding the coordination of caucuses, and the organization of midday meetings will be provided shortly.\n<<<\n!!! Round-tables\n<<<\n* The Conference will feature five round-tables.\n* Each round-table will be three hours long and will comprise (a) a one-hour long expert panel to provide background on the issue, followed by (b) simultaneous two-hour break-out sessions to enable in-depth discussions on sub-sets of the issue.\n* Both panel discussions and break-out sessions will be filmed and webcast live.\n* Panels should feature a maximum of three speakers + moderator.\n* There may be up to (4) break-out sessions per round-table.\n* The break-out sessions may be co-led by a NGO and UN agency/department identified beforehand; or other institution as appropriate for the topic in question.\n<<<\n!!!

Caucuses\n<<<\nTo provide an opportunity for groups with specific interests (regional - issue - or constituency based) to network, share best practices and formulate recommendations and action points, caucuses will have the opportunity to meet daily during the Conference. Proposals for caucuses currently include:\n* youth\n* women and girls\n* peace\n* persons with disabilities\n* indigenous peoples\n* regional caucuses\ninterfaith Coordinators for the caucuses will be identified in advance of the Conference.\n<<<\n!!!

Parallel events:\n<<<\nTo maximize momentum around the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the UDHR, and enable interaction between the NGO community and the broad public, various activities are being planned in the city of Paris including exhibits, a human rights village, a ceremony and silent meditation to commemorate human rights defenders and victims.\n<<<\n!!! Preparatory activities and documents:\n<<<\nWith a view to inviting diverse perspectives on the topics addressed by the Conference, preparatory activities are being organized in collaboration with diverse institutions.

//The World Conference of the International Women's Year,//\n\n//Aware// that the problems of women, who constitute half of the world's population, are the problems of society as a whole, and that changes in the present economic, political and social situation of women must become an integral part of efforts to transform the structures and attitudes that hinder the genuine satisfaction of their needs,\n\n//Recognizing// that international co-operation based on the principles of the Charter of the United Nations should be developed and strengthened in order to find solutions to world problems and to build an international community based on equity and justice,\n\n//Recalling// that in subscribing to the Charter, the peoples of the United Nations undertook specific commitments: "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war ..., to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom",\n\n//Taking note// of the fact that since the creation of the United Nations very important instruments have been adopted, among which the following constitute landmarks: the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]], the [[Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples]], the [[International Development Strategy for the Second United Nations Development Decade]], and the [[Declaration and Programme of Action for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order]] based on the [[Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States]],\n\n//Taking into account// that the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women considers that: "discrimination against women is incompatible with human dignity and with the welfare of the family and of society, prevents their participation, on equal terms with men, in the political, social, economic and cultural life of their countries and is an obstacle to the full development of the potentialities of women in the service of their countries and of humanity",\n\n//Recalling// that the General Assembly, in its resolution 3010 (XXVII) of 18 December 1972, proclaimed 1975 as International Women's Year and that the Year was to be devoted to intensified action with a view to: promoting equality between men and women, ensuring the integration of women in the total development effort, and increasing the contribution of women to the strengthening of world peace,\n\n//Recalling further// that the Economic and Social Council, in its resolution 1849 (LVI) of 16 May 1974, adopted the Programme for International Women's Year, and that the General Assembly, in its resolution 3275 (XXIX) of 10 December 1974, called for full implementation of the Programme,\n\n//Taking into account// the role played by women in the history of humanity, especially in the struggle for national liberation, the strengthening of international peace, and the elimination of imperialism, colonialism,, neo-colonialism, foreign occupation,zionism, alien domination, racism and //apartheid//,\n\n//Stressing// that greater and equal participation of women at all levels of decision-making shall decisively contribute to accelerating the pace of development and the maintenance of peace,\n\n//Stressing// also that women and men of all countries should have equal rights and duties and that it is the task of all States to create the necessary conditions for the attainment and the exercise thereof,\n\n//Recognizing// that women of the entire world, whatever differences exist between them, share the painful experience of receiving or having received unequal treatment, and that as their awareness of this phenomenon increases they will become natural allies in the struggle against any form of oppression, such as is practised under colonialism, neo-colonialism, zionism, racial discrimination and //apartheid//, thereby constituting an enormous revolutionary potential for economic and social change in the world today,\n\n//Recognizing// that changes in the social and economic structure of societies, even though they are among the prerequisites, cannot of themselves ensure an immediate improvement in the status of a group which has long been disadvantaged, and that urgent consideration must therefore be given to the full, immediate and early integration of women into national and international life,\n\n//Emphasizing// that under-development imposes upon women a double burden of exploitation, which must be rapidly eliminated, and that full implementation of national development policies designed to fulfil this objective is seriously hindered by the existing inequitable system of international economic relations,\n\n//Aware// that the role of women in child-bearing should not be the cause of inequality and discrimination, and that child-rearing demands shared responsibilities among women, men and society as a whole,\n\n//Recognizing also// the urgency of improving the status of women and finding more effective methods and strategies which will enable them to have the same opportunities as men to participate actively in the development of their countries and to contribute to the attainment of world peace,\n\n//Convinced// that women must play an important role in the promotion, achievement and maintenance of international peace, and that it is necessary to encourage their efforts towards peace, through their full participation in the national and international organizations that exist for this purpose,\n\n//Considering// that it is necessary to promote national, regional and international action, in which the implementation of the World Plan of Action adopted by the World Conference of the International Women's Year should make a significant contribution, for the attainment of equality, development and peace,\n\n//Decides// to promulgate the following principles:\n# Equality between women and men means equality in their dignity and worth as human beings as well as equality in their rights, opportunities and responsibilities.\n# All obstacles that stand in the way of enjoyment by women of equal status with men must be eliminated in order to ensure their full integration into national development and their participation in securing and in maintaining international peace.\n# It is the responsibility of the State to create the necessary facilities so that women may be integrated into society while their children receive adequate care.\n# National non-governmental organizations should contribute to the advancement of women by assisting women to take advantage of their opportunities, by promoting education and information about women's rights, and by co-operating with their respective Governments.\n# Women and men have equal rights and responsibilities in the family and in society. Equality between women and men should be guaranteed in the family, which is the basic unit of society and where human relations are nurtured. Men should participate more actively, creatively and responsibly in family life for its sound development in order to enable women to be more intensively involved in the activities of their communities and with a view to combining effectively home and work possibilities of both partners.\n# Women, like men, require opportunities for developing their intellectual potential to the maximum. National policies and programmes should therefore provide them with full and equal access to education and training at all levels, while ensuring that such programmes and policies consciously orient them towards new occupations and new roles consistent with their need for self-fulfilment and the needs of national development.\n# The right of women to work, to receive equal pay for work of equal value, to be provided with equal conditions and opportunities for advancement in work, and all other women's rights to full and satisfying economic activity are strongly reaffirmed. Review of these principles for their effective implementation is now urgently needed, considering the necessity of restructuring world economic relationships. This restructuring offers greater possibilities for women to be integrated into the stream of national economic, social, political and cultural life.\n# All means of communication and information as well as all cultural media should regard as a high priority their responsibility for helping to remove the attitudinal and cultural factors that still inhibit the development of women and for projecting in positive terms the value to society of the assumption by women of changing and expanding roles.\n# Necessary resources should be made available in order that women may be able to participate in the political life of their countries and of the international community since their active participation in national and world affairs at decision-making and other levels in the political field is a prerequisite of women's full exercise of equal rights as well as of their further development and of the national well-being.\n# Equality of rights carries with it corresponding responsibilities; it is therefore a duty of women to make full use of opportunities available to them and to perform their duties to the family, the country and humanity.\n# It should he one of the principal aims of social education to teach respect for physical integrity and its rightful place in human life. The human body, whether that of woman or man, is inviolable and respect for it is a fundamental element of human dignity and freedom.\n# Every couple and every individual has the right to decide freely and responsibly whether or not to have children as well as to determine their number and spacing, and to have information, education and means to do so.\n# Respect for human dignity encompasses the right of every woman to decide freely for herself whether or not to contract matrimony.\n# The issue of inequality, as it affects the vast majority of the women of the world, is closely linked with the problem of under-development, which exists as a result not only of unsuitable internal structures but also of a profoundly unjust world economic system.\n# The full and complete development of any country requires the maximum participation of women as well as of men in all fields: the under-utilization of the potential of approximately half of the world's population is a serious obstacle to social and economic development.\n# The ultimate end of development is to achieve a better quality of life for all, which means not only the development of economic and other material resources but also the physical, moral, intellectual and cultural growth of the human person.\n# In order to integrate women into development, States should undertake the necessary changes in their economic and social policies because women have the right to participate and contribute to the total development effort.\n# The present state of international economic relations poses serious obstacles to a more efficient utilization of all human and material potential for accelerated development and for the improvement of living standards in developing countries aimed at the elimination of hunger, child mortality, unemployment, illiteracy, ignorance and backwardness, which concern all of humanity and women in particular. It is therefore essential to establish and implement with urgency the New International Economic Order, of which the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States constitutes a basic element, founded on equity, sovereign equality, interdependence, common interest, co-operation among all States irrespective of their social and economic systems, on the principles of peaceful coexistence and on the promotion by the entire international community of economic and social progress of all countries, especially developing countries, and on the progress of States comprising the international community.\n# The principle of the full and permanent sovereignty of every State over its natural resources, wealth and all economic activities, and its inalienable right of nationalization as an expression of this sovereignty constitute fundamental prerequisites in the process of economic and social development.\n# The attainment of economic and social goals, so basic to the realization of the rights of women, does not, however, of itself bring about the full integration of women in development on a basis of equality with men unless specific measures are undertaken for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against them. It is therefore important to formulate and implement models of development that will promote the participation and advancement, of women in all fields of work and provide them with equal educational opportunities and such services as would facilitate housework.\n# Modernization of the agricultural sector of vast areas of the world is an indispensable element for progress, particularly as it creates opportunities for millions of rural women to participate in development. Governments, the United Nations, its specialized agencies and other competent regional and international organizations should support projects designed to utilize the maximum potential and develop the self-reliance of rural women.\n# It must be emphasized that, given the required economic, social and legal conditions as well as the appropriate attitudes conducive to the full and equal participation of women in society, efforts and measures aimed at a more intensified integration of women in development can be successfully implemented only if made an integral part of over-all social and economic growth. Full participation of women in the various economic, social, political and cultural sectors is an important indication of the dynamic progress of peoples and their development. Individual human rights can be realized only within the framework of total development.\n# The objectives considered in this Declaration can be achieved only in a world in which the relations between States are governed, //inter alia//, by the following principles: the sovereign equality of States, the free self-determination of peoples, the unacceptability of acquisition or attempted acquisition of territories by force and the prohibition of recognition of such acquisition, territorial integrity, and the right to defend it, and non-interference in the domestic affairs of States, in the same manner as relations between human beings should be governed by the supreme principle of the equality of rights of women and men.\n# International co-operation and peace require the achievement of national liberation and independence, the elimination of colonialism and neo-colonialism, foreign occupation, zionism, //apartheid//, and racial discrimination in all its forms as well as the recognition of the dignity of peoples and their right to self-determination .\n# Women have a vital role to play in the promotion of peace in all spheres of life: in the family, the community, the nation and the world. Women must participate equally with men in the decision-making processes which help to promote peace at all levels,\n# Women and men together should eliminate colonialism, neo-colonialism, imperialism, foreign domination and occupation, Zionism, //apartheid//, racial discrimination, the acquisition of land by force and the recognition of such acquisition, since such practices inflict incalculable suffering on women, men and children.\n# The solidarity of women in all countries of the world should be supported in their protest against violations of human rights condemned by the United Nations. All forms of repression and inhuman treatment of women, men and children, including imprisonment, torture, massacres, collective punishment, destruction of homes, forced eviction and arbitrary restriction of movement shall be considered crimes against humanity and in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international instruments.\n# Women all over the world should unite to eliminate violations of human rights committed against women and girls such as: rape, prostitution, physical assault, mental cruelty, child marriage, forced marriage and marriage as a commercial transaction.\n# Peace requires that women as well as men should reject any type of intervention in the domestic affairs of States, whether it be openly or covertly carried on by other States or by transnational corporations. Peace also requires that women as well as men should also promote respect for the sovereign right of a State to establish its own economic, social and political system without undergoing political and economic pressures or coercion of any type.\n# Women as well as men should promote real, general and complete disarmament under effective international control, starting with nuclear disarmament. Until genuine disarmament is achieved, women and men throughout the world must maintain their vigilance and do their utmost to achieve and maintain international peace.\n//Wherefore//,\n\n//The World Conference of the International Women's Year//\n# //Affirms// its faith in the objectives of the International Women's Year, which are equality, development and peace;\n# //Proclaims// its commitment to the achievement of such objectives;\n# //Strongly urges// Governments, the entire United Nations system, regional and international intergovernmental organizations and the international community as a whole to dedicate themselves to the creation of a just society where women, men and children can live in dignity, freedom, justice and prosperity.

The [[United Nations Conference on the Human Environment]], having met at Stockholm from 5 to 16 June 1972, having considered the need for a common outlook and for common principles to inspire and guide the peoples of the world in the preservation and enhancement of the human environment,\n\n//Proclaims// that:\n# Man is both creature and moulder of his environment, which gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet a stage has been reached when, through the rapid acceleration of science and technology, man has acquired the power to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. Both aspects of man's environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to his well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rights the right to life itself.\n# The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world; it is the urgent desire of the peoples of the whole world and the duty of all Governments.\n# Man has constantly to sum up experience and go on discovering, inventing, creating and advancing. In our time, man's capability to transform his surroundings, if used wisely, can bring to all peoples the benefits of development and the opportunity to enhance the quality of life. Wrongly or heedlessly applied, the same power can do incalculable harm to human beings and the human environment. We see around us growing evidence of man-made harm in many regions of the earth: dangerous levels of pollution in water, air, earth and living beings; major and undesirable disturbances to the ecological balance of the biosphere; destruction and depletion of irreplaceable resources; and gross deficiencies, harmful to the physical, mental and social health of man, in the man-made environment, particularly in the living and working environment.\n# In the developing countries most of the environmental problems are caused by under-development. Millions continue to live far below the minimum levels required for a decent human existence, deprived of adequate food and clothing, shelter and education, health and sanitation. Therefore, the developing countries must direct their efforts to development, bearing in mind their priorities and the need to safeguard and improve the environment. For the same purpose, the industrialized countries should make efforts to reduce the gap themselves and the developing countries. In the industrialized countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialization and technological development.\n# The natural growth of population continuously presents problems for the preservation of the environment, and adequate policies and measures should be adopted, as appropriate, to face these problems. Of all things in the world, people are the most precious. It is the people that propel social progress, create social wealth, develop science and technology and, through their hard work, continuously transform the human environment. Along with social progress and the advance of production, science and technology, the capability of man to improve the environment increases with each passing day.\n# A point has been reached in history when we must shape our actions throughout the world with a more prudent care for their environmental consequences. Through ignorance or indifference we can do massive and irreversible harm to the earthly environment on which our life and well being depend. Conversely, through fuller knowledge and wiser action, we can achieve for ourselves and our posterity a better life in an environment more in keeping with human needs and hopes. There are broad vistas for the enhancement of environmental quality and the creation of a good life. What is needed is an enthusiastic but calm state of mind and intense but orderly work. For the purpose of attaining freedom in the world of nature, man must use knowledge to build, in collaboration with nature, a better environment. To defend and improve the human environment for present and future generations has become an imperative goal for mankind-a goal to be pursued together with, and in harmony with, the established and fundamental goals of peace and of worldwide economic and social development.\n# To achieve this environmental goal will demand the acceptance of responsibility by citizens and communities and by enterprises and institutions at every level, all sharing equitably in common efforts. Individuals in all walks of life as well as organizations in many fields, by their values and the sum of their actions, will shape the world environment of the future. Local and national governments will bear the greatest burden for large-scale environmental policy and action within their jurisdictions. International cooperation is also needed in order to raise resources to support the developing countries in carrying out their responsibilities in this field. A growing class of environmental problems, because they are regional or global in extent or because they affect the common international realm, will require extensive cooperation among nations and action by international organizations in the common interest. The Conference calls upon Governments and peoples to exert common efforts for the preservation and improvement of the human environment, for the benefit of all the people and for their posterity.\n!! Principles\n//States the common conviction// that:\n!!! Principle 1\n> Man has the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being, and he bears a solemn responsibility to protect and improve the environment for present and future generations. In this respect, policies promoting or perpetuating apartheid, racial segregation, discrimination, colonial and other forms of oppression and foreign domination stand condemned and must be eliminated.\n!!! Principle 2\n> The natural resources of the earth, including the air, water, land, flora and fauna and especially representative samples of natural ecosystems, must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations through careful planning or management, as appropriate.\n!!! Principle 3\n> The capacity of the earth to produce vital renewable resources must be maintained and, wherever practicable, restored or improved.\n!!! Principle 4\n> Man has a special responsibility to safeguard and wisely manage the heritage of wildlife and its habitat, which are now gravely imperilled by a combination of adverse factors. Nature conservation, including wildlife, must therefore receive importance in planning for economic development.\n!!! Principle 5\n> The non-renewable resources of the earth must be employed in such a way as to guard against the danger of their future exhaustion and to ensure that benefits from such employment are shared by all mankind.\n!!! Principle 6\n> The discharge of toxic substances or of other substances and the release of heat, in such quantities or concentrations as to exceed the capacity of the environment to render them harmless, must be halted in order to ensure that serious or irreversible damage is not inflicted upon ecosystems. The just struggle of the peoples of ill countries against pollution should be supported.\n!!! Principle 7\n> States shall take all possible steps to prevent pollution of the seas by substances that are liable to create hazards to human health, to harm living resources and marine life, to damage amenities or to interfere with other legitimate uses of the sea.\n!!! Principle 8\n> Economic and social development is essential for ensuring a favorable living and working environment for man and for creating conditions on earth that are necessary for the improvement of the quality of life.\n!!! Principle 9\n> Environmental deficiencies generated by the conditions of under-development and natural disasters pose grave problems and can best be remedied by accelerated development through the transfer of substantial quantities of financial and technological assistance as a supplement to the domestic effort of the developing countries and such timely assistance as may be required.\n!!! Principle 10\n> For the developing countries, stability of prices and adequate earnings for primary commodities and raw materials are essential to environmental management, since economic factors as well as ecological processes must be taken into account.\n!!! Principle 11\n> The environmental policies of all States should enhance and not adversely affect the present or future development potential of developing countries, nor should they hamper the attainment\n\nof better living conditions for all, and appropriate steps should be taken by States and international organizations with a view to reaching agreement on meeting the possible national and international economic consequences resulting from the application of environmental measures.\n!!! Principle 12\n> Resources should be made available to preserve and improve the environment, taking into account the circumstances and particular requirements of developing countries and any costs which may emanate- from their incorporating environmental safeguards into their development planning and the need for making available to them, upon their request, additional international technical and financial assistance for this purpose.\n!!! Principle 13\n> In order to achieve a more rational management of resources and thus to improve the environment, States should adopt an integrated and coordinated approach to their development planning so as to ensure that development is compatible with the need to protect and improve environment for the benefit of their population.\n!!! Principle 14\n> Rational planning constitutes an essential tool for reconciling any conflict between the needs of development and the need to protect and improve the environment.\n!!! Principle 15\n> Planning must be applied to human settlements and urbanization with a view to avoiding adverse effects on the environment and obtaining maximum social, economic and environmental benefits for all. In this respect projects which arc designed for colonialist and racist domination must be abandoned.\n!!! Principle 16\n> Demographic policies which are without prejudice to basic human rights and which are deemed appropriate by Governments concerned should be applied in those regions where the rate of population growth or excessive population concentrations are likely to have adverse effects on the environment of the human environment and impede development.\n!!! Principle 17\n> Appropriate national institutions must be entrusted with the task of planning, managing or controlling the 9 environmental resources of States with a view to enhancing environmental quality.\n!!! Principle 18\n> Science and technology, as part of their contribution to economic and social development, must be applied to the identification, avoidance and control of environmental risks and the solution of environmental problems and for the common good of mankind.\n!!! Principle 19\n> Education in environmental matters, for the younger generation as well as adults, giving due consideration to the underprivileged, is essential in order to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in protecting and improving the environment in its full human dimension. It is also essential that mass media of communications avoid contributing to the deterioration of the environment, but, on the contrary, disseminates information of an educational nature on the need to project and improve the environment in order to enable mal to develop in every respect.\n!!! Principle 20\n> Scientific research and development in the context of environmental problems, both national and multinational, must be promoted in all countries, especially the developing countries. In this connection, the free flow of up-to-date scientific information and transfer of experience must be supported and assisted, to facilitate the solution of environmental problems; environmental technologies should be made available to developing countries on terms which would encourage their wide dissemination without constituting an economic burden on the developing countries.\n!!! Principle 21\n> States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own environmental policies, and the responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction.\n!!! Principle 22\n> States shall cooperate to develop further the international law regarding liability and compensation for the victims of pollution and other environmental damage caused by activities within the jurisdiction or control of such States to areas beyond their jurisdiction.\n!!! Principle 23\n> Without prejudice to such criteria as may be agreed upon by the international community, or to standards which will have to be determined nationally, it will be essential in all cases to consider the systems of values prevailing in each country, and the extent of the applicability of standards which are valid for the most advanced countries but which may be inappropriate and of unwarranted social cost for the developing countries.\n!!! Principle 24\n> International matters concerning the protection and improvement of the environment should be handled in a cooperative spirit by all countries, big and small, on an equal footing. Cooperation through multilateral or bilateral arrangements or other appropriate means is essential to effectively control, prevent, reduce and eliminate adverse environmental effects resulting from activities conducted in all spheres, in such a way that due account is taken of the sovereignty and interests of all States.\n!!! Principle 25\n> States shall ensure that international organizations play a coordinated, efficient and dynamic role for the protection and improvement of the environment.\n!!! Principle 26\n> Man and his environment must be spared the effects of nuclear weapons and all other means of mass destruction. States must strive to reach prompt agreement, in the relevant international organs, on the elimination and complete destruction of such weapons.

''Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review'' is a major publication, published in October 2006, that was commissioned by the Treasury Department of the British Government with the mandate of reviewing the issue of the economic dimensions of climate change - a key area that has not previously gained sufficient attention. \n\nThe web-based version of the ''Stern Review'' has been "translated" by the [[NGO Committee on Education]] into the "language" of a TiddlyWikiPerfect platform, with the contents housed in a DataPerfect database from which the tiddlers and tags were generated, and is designed to optimize the accessibility and navigability of the contents of the report for reading in a digital environment, and to begin to raise the vital issue of the economics of information as it relates to climate change. The original, official version of the report was published in a pdf version. - a format that is optimized for print rather than for on-screen reading, and that is relatively cumbersome to navigate through the contents; to improve the online value of the pdf files of the Stern Review, an extensive set of bookmarks have been added to the pdf files - none having been included in the official pdf files - to make it easier for those who prefer to read the online version to find their way around the lengthy review..\n\nThe TiddlyWikiPerfect version of the Stern Review also includes a shortened Executive Summary - the original being more than thirty pages long, and highlights the key concepts\n\nhttp://www.climate-change-two.net/stern-review/

The [[NGO Committee on Education]] was a co-sponsor and organizer - with [[Rotary International]], [[UNESCO|http://www.unesco.org]], [[Information Habitat: Where Information Lives]], [[Earthwatch Institute]] and the [[Armenian Assembly of America]] - of ''Education, Youth & Technology for Sustainable Development'', a workshop at the ''59th Annual DPI/NGO Conference'' in September 2005 that focused on the [[United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development]]. For additional information on the workshop, please visit [[www.ngo-education.net/workshop|http://www.ngo-education.net/workshop]] - a site that was the Information and Communications Sub-Committee's first experiment with the TiddlyWiki software platform. \n\nNote that an earlier web site has been created for the workshop, using the open source educational software platform ''Moodle''- an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment - see [[www.moodle.org|http://www.moodle.org]]. However. while Moodle offers some exceptional features, it is a much more complex platform, and unlike TiddlyWiki, which is a self-contained web site requiring only a browser to create, edit and/or view a pages, Moodle requires the installation of server-side software - and a web hosting service that permits the installation of the necessary software.

The [[International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families]] is the culmination of many years of discussions, reports and recommendations on the subject of migrants’ rights. The United Nations first voiced concern about the rights of migrant workers in 1972, when the Economic and Social Council, in its resolution 1706 (LIII), expressed alarm at the illegal transportation of labour to some European countries and at the exploitation of workers from some African countries “in conditions akin to slavery and forced labour.” In the same year, the General Assembly, in its resolution 2920 (XXVII), condemned discrimination against foreign workers and called upon Governments to end such practices and to improve reception arrangements for migrant workers.\n\nFollowing a request from the Economic and Social Council in 1973, the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities adopted a report on the exploitation of labour through illicit and clandestine trafficking in 1976. The report, drafted by its Special Rapporteur, Mrs. Halima Warzazi, recognized that there were two aspects to the problem, namely illicit and clandestine operations, on the one hand, and discriminatory treatment of migrant workers in host States, on the other, and recommended the drawing-up of a United Nations convention on the rights of migrant workers. This recommendation was echoed at the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination^^+++[2]\n>2. See Report of the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, Geneva, 14-25 August 1978 (United Nations publication, Sales No.E.79.XIV.2).\n===\n^^ in Geneva in 1978 and in General Assembly resolution 33/163 on measures to improve the situation and ensure the human rights and dignity of all migrant workers.\n\nFollowing the adoption of resolution 34/172 of 17 December 1979 by the General Assembly, a working group open to all Member States was established in 1980 to draw up a convention, and the international organs and organizations concerned—the Commission on Human Rights, the Commission for Social Development, the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the World Health Organization—were invited to contribute to the task. Reconstituted at successive annual sessions of the General Assembly, the working group finished drafting the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families in 1990.\n> ''On 18 December 1990 the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families was adopted by the General Assembly without a vote and opened for signature by all Member States of the United Nations.''\n<<<\n!!!Migrants' Rights are Human Rights: The Global Campaign for Ratification of the United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families\nThe Steering Committee of the Global Campaign for Ratification of the United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families was first convened in 1998. It is a unique alliance involving the United Nations Secretariat, intergovernmental agencies and leading international human rights, church, labour, migrant and women’s organizations.^^+++[*]\n>* Its members are: December 18, Human Rights Watch, International Catholic Migration Commission, International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, International Labour Office, International Organization for Migration, Migrant Forum in Asia, Migrants Rights International, Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Public Services International, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and World Council of Churches.\n===\n\n\n^^The Steering Committee has coordinated international and national activities to publicize the Convention and raise awareness about it through its Global Campaign. Its main purpose is to promote the ratification of, or accession to, the Convention by a large number of States, and the incorporation of the Convention’s standards into national laws and practices.\n\nIts work has led to a sharp increase in the number of ratifications and signatures. For example, before 1998 only 9 States had ratified the Convention, while from 1998 to 2004 another 18 did.\n\nCampaigning for ratification goes hand in hand with raising awareness of the situation of migrants in society and the often sensitive political issues involved. The Global Campaign strives to achieve endorsement of the Convention from a broad cross-section of society, including public officials, political parties, trade unions, religious groups, women’s organizations and so on. Only through the work of hundreds of organizations and people at the local level is the Global Campaign able to achieve such success.\n<<<
The entry into force of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families reinforces and complements a series of other provisions under the main United Nations human rights treaties (see [[chap. IV|Fact Sheet No. 24 (Rev.1): IV. The Convention in the Context of other International Instruments]] below).\n\nThe Convention seeks to establish minimum standards that States parties should apply to migrant workers and members of their families, irrespective of their migratory status. The rationale behind the recognition of rights of undocumented migrant workers is also reaffirmed in the preamble, in which the States parties consider, //inter alia//, that irregular migrants are frequently exploited and face serious human rights violations and that appropriate action should be encouraged to prevent and eliminate clandestine movements and trafficking in migrant workers while at the same time ensuring the protection of their human rights.\n\nThe International Convention consists of nine parts:\n* Scope and definitions\n* Non-discrimination with respect to rights\n* Human rights of all migrants\n* Other rights of migrants who are documented or in a regular situation\n* Provisions applicable to particular categories of migrants\n* The promotion of sound, equitable, humane and lawful conditions in connection with international migration\n* Application of the Convention\n* General provisions\n* Final provisions\n!!! ''A. Scope and definitions'' \n<<<\nPart I of the Convention contains the most comprehensive definition of migrant workers found in any international instrument concerned with migrants. Article 2 (1) defines a migrant worker as “a person who is to be engaged, is engaged or has been engaged in a remunerated activity in a State of which he or she is not a national.”^^+++[3]\n>3. Article 3 lists the persons excluded from this definition, namely employees of international organizations, Government officials, persons sent or employed by a State or on its behalf outside its territory who participate in development programmes and other cooperation programmes, investors, refugees and stateless persons, students and trainees, non-national non-resident seafarers and workers on an offshore installation.\n===\n^^Article 4 defines which persons constitute the members of the migrant worker’s family as “persons married to migrant workers or having with them a relationship that, according to applicable law, produces effects equivalent to marriage, as well as their dependent children and other dependent persons who are recognized as members of the family by applicable legislation or applicable bilateral or multilateral agreements between the States concerned.”\n\nFurthermore, article 5 specifies that migrant workers are considered to be documented or in a regular situation “if they are authorized to enter, to stay and to engage in a remunerated activity in the State of employment pursuant to the law of that State and to international agreements to which that State is a party”. Otherwise, they are considered to be non-documented or in an irregular situation.\n\nFinally, in part V, the Convention innovates by defining the rights which apply to certain categories of migrant workers and their families, including frontier workers, seasonal workers, itinerant workers, migrants employed for a specific project and self-employed workers.\n<<<\n!!! B. The principle of non-discrimination\n<<<\nArticle 7 of the Convention provides that States parties should respect and ensure the rights contained in the Convention without distinction of any kind such as sex, race, colour, language, religion or conviction, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, nationality, age, economic position, property, marital status, birth or other status. Article 1 also states that the Convention applies to all migrant workers and members of their families without distinction of any kind. Although the enumeration of the prohibited grounds of distinction is illustrative and not exhaustive, it is worth noting that the list in the Convention is broader than those found in other human rights conventions, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.\n<<<\n!!! C. Human rights of all migrants\n<<<\nPart III of the Convention (arts. 8 to 35) grants a fairly broad series of rights to all migrant workers and members of their families, irrespective of their migratory status. Many of these articles specify the application to migrant workers of rights spelled out in the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights^^+++[4]\n>4. See, for instance, the Convention’s provisions on the right to life (art. 9), the prohibition of torture (art. 10), the prohibition of slavery and forced labour (art. 11), the right to liberty and security of person and to procedural guarantees (arts. 16–19 and 24), the right to freedom of opinion, expression, thought, conscience and religion (arts. 12–13), prohibition of arbitrary interference with privacy, home correspondence and other communications and prohibition of arbitrary deprivation of property (arts. 14–15).\n===\n^^ and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights^^+++[5]\n>5. For instance, the right to just and favourable conditions of work and to rest and leisure (art. 25), the right to social security (art. 27) and the right to education (art. 30).\n===\n^^ and the other core human rights treaties. The Convention also includes a number of rights addressing specific protection needs and providing additional guarantees in the light of the particular vulnerability of migrant workers and members of their families. This section focuses on these provisions.\n\nArticle 15, for instance, protects migrant workers from the arbitrary deprivation of property, while article 21 contains safeguards against confiscation, destruction or attempts to destroy identity documents, documents authorizing entry to or stay, residence or establishment in the national territory or work permits and prohibits the destruction of the passport or equivalent document of a migrant worker or a member of his or her family.\n\nAlso specific to the particular situation of migrant workers is article 22, which provides, inter alia, that migrant workers and members of their families shall not be subject to measures of collective expulsion and that they may be expelled from the territory of a State party only in pursuance of a decision taken by the competent authority in accordance with the law. Furthermore, article 20 (2) provides that no migrant worker or member of his/her family shall be expelled or deprived of his authorization of residence or work permit merely on the ground of failure to fulfil an obligation arising out of a work contract unless fulfilment of that obligation constitutes a condition for such authorization or permit.\n\nArticle 23 spells out the right of migrant workers and members of their families to have recourse to the protection and assistance of the consular or diplomatic authorities of their State of origin whenever the rights recognized under the Convention are impaired. Similarly, article 16 (7) gives arrested or detained migrant workers and members of their families the right to communicate with the consular or diplomatic authorities of their State of origin.\n\nMigrant workers are frequently excluded from the scope of regulations covering working conditions and often denied the right to take part in trade union activities. Article 25 of the Convention establishes that migrant workers shall enjoy treatment not less favourable than that which applies to nationals of the State of employment in respect of remuneration and other conditions of work and terms of employment. Article 26 recognizes the right to take part in meetings and activities of trade unions and freely join them.\n\nThe living conditions of migrant workers are also often unsatisfactory. They face serious housing problems and, although they contribute to social security schemes, they and their families do not always enjoy the same benefits and access to social services as nationals of the host State. Article 27 of the Convention stipulates that, with respect to social security, migrant workers and members of their families shall enjoy the same treatment granted to nationals in so far as they fulfil the requirements provided for by the applicable legislation of that State and the applicable bilateral and multilateral treaties.\n\nArticle 28 grants migrant workers and members of their families the right to receive any medical care that is urgently required for the preservation of their life or avoidance of irreparable harm to their health on the basis of equality of treatment with nationals of the State concerned. It is important to stress that such emergency medical care shall not be refused by reason of any irregularity with regard to their stay or employment.\n\nArticle 30 establishes that each child of a migrant worker shall have the basic right of access to education on the basis of equality of treatment with nationals of the State concerned. Furthermore, access to public preschool educational institutions or schools shall not be refused or limited by reason of the irregular situation with respect to stay or employment of either parent or by reason of the irregularity of the child’s stay in the State of employment.\n\nArticle 31 of the Convention requests States parties to ensure respect for the cultural identity of migrant workers and members of their families and not to prevent them from maintaining their cultural links with their State of origin.\n\nArticle 32 provides that, upon termination of their stay in the State of employment, migrant workers and members of their families shall have the right to transfer their earnings and savings as well as their personal effects and belongings.\n\nFinally, according to article 33, migrant workers and members of their families shall have the right to be informed of their rights arising out of the Convention as well as of the conditions of their admission and their rights and obligations under the law and practice of the State concerned. These obligations are placed on the State of origin, the State of employment or the State of transit as the case may be. State parties shall take appropriate measures to disseminate the said information, which shall be provided free of charge and, as far as possible, in a language that the migrants and their families are able to understand.\n\nThe last article of this section, article 35, deserves particular mention. It states that “nothing in the present part of the Convention shall be interpreted as implying the regularization of the situation of migrant workers or members of their families who are non-documented or in an irregular situation or any right to such regularization of their situation, nor shall it prejudice the measures intended to ensure sound and equitable conditions for international migration as provided in part VI of the present Convention.” The box at the end of this chapter looks at this question in more detail.\n!!! D. Other rights of migrant workers and members of their families who are documented or in a regular situation\n''The Convention assigns additional rights to migrant workers and members of their families who are documented or in a regular situation.''\n\nThese rights include the right to be fully informed by their States of origin and employment about conditions applicable to their admission and concerning their stay and the remunerated activities they may engage in (art. 37), the right to freely move in the territory of the State of employment and freely choose their residence there (art. 39), the right to form associations and trade unions (art. 40),^^+++[6]\n>6. Under the Convention, undocumented migrant workers may join existing trade unions and take part in their meetings and activities (art. 26).\n===\n^^ and to participate in public affairs of their State of origin, including voting and election (art. 41).\n\nFurthermore, documented migrant workers and members of their families enjoy the same opportunities and treatment as nationals in relation to various economic and social services (arts. 43 and 45), in the exercise of their remunerated activity (art. 55), in the choice of their remunerated activity (subject to some restrictions and conditions) (art. 52) and in respect of protection against dismissal and the enjoyment of unemployment benefits (art. 54).\n\nAn important guarantee for regular or documented migrant workers is contained in article 49. It stipulates that, where separate authorizations to reside and to engage in employment are required by national legislation, the States of employment shall issue to migrant workers authorization of residence for at least the same period of time as their authorization to engage in remunerated activity. Moreover, article 51 says that migrant workers who are not permitted freely to choose their remunerated activity shall neither be regarded as in an irregular situation nor shall they lose their authorization of residence by the mere fact of the termination of their remunerated activity prior to the expiration of their work permit, except where the authorization of residence is expressly dependent upon the specific remunerated activity for which they were admitted.\n\nMigrant workers and members of their families in a regular status also enjoy exemption from import and export taxes on their household and personal effects (art. 46) and shall not be liable to more onerous taxation than nationals in similar circumstances (art. 48). Article 47 provides that migrant workers shall have the right to transfer their earnings and savings, in particular those funds necessary for the support of their families, from the State of employment to their State of origin or any other State.\n\nWhile the Convention does not expressly speak of a right to family reunification, States parties are encouraged to facilitate family reunification and to protect the unity of the family (art. 44). Article 50 provides that, in the case of death of a migrant worker or dissolution of marriage, the State of employment shall favourably consider granting family members of that migrant worker residing in that State on the basis of family reunion an authorization to stay, taking into due account the length of time they have already resided in that State. Finally, documented migrant workers and members of their families enjoy additional guarantees against expulsion (art. 56).\n\n''Promotion of sound, equitable, humane and lawful conditions in connection with international migration of workers and members of their families''\n\nOne of the most interesting features of the Convention is that, besides establishing the obligation of States parties with respect to migrant workers as individuals, it also provides a framework, in part VI, for sound, equitable and humane conditions for international migration.\n\nThus, States parties shall maintain appropriate services to deal with questions about international migration of workers and members of their families and formulate and implement policies on migration, exchange information with other States parties, provide information to employers and workers on policies, laws and regulations, and provide information and appropriate assistance to migrant workers and members of their families (art. 65).\n\nTo protect migrants from abuse, article 66 restricts the recruitment operations of workers for employment in another State to public services, State bodies or authorized private agencies. Article 67 provides that States parties should cooperate as appropriate in the adoption of measures for the orderly return of migrant workers to their State of origin.\n\nArticle 68 is particularly relevant for the prevention and elimination of trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. In fact, article 68 invites States parties to collaborate with a view to preventing and eliminating illegal or clandestine movements and employment of migrant workers in an irregular situation. The measures States parties should take include: (a) measures against the dissemination of misleading information relating to emigration and immigration; (b) measures to detect and eradicate illegal or clandestine movements of migrant workers and members of their families and to impose effective sanctions on persons, groups or entities that organize, operate and assist in organizing or operating such movements; (c) measures to impose effective sanctions on persons, groups or entities that use violence, threats or intimidation against migrant workers or members of their families in an irregular situation.\n\nThe second paragraph of article 68 provides that States of employment shall take all adequate measures to eliminate employment of migrant workers in an irregular situation, including, whenever appropriate, sanctions on employers of such workers. This provision shall be read in conjunction with the provisions contained in article 35 (see p. XXX) and article 69 (1), which provides that “States parties shall, when there are migrant workers and members of their families within their territory in an irregular situation, take appropriate measures to ensure that such a situation does not persist.” Article 69 (2) further stipulates that “whenever States parties concerned consider the possibility of regularizing the situation of such persons in accordance with applicable national legislation and bilateral or multilateral agreements, appropriate account shall be taken of the circumstances of their entry, the duration of their stay in the States of employment and other relevant considerations, in particular those relating to their family situation.”
The implementation of the Convention rests with its States parties. Article 72 provides that this process is monitored by a committee—the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families—consisting of 10 experts to be elected by the States parties and serving in their personal capacity, the number rising to 14 when 41 States will have become parties to the Convention.\n\nMembers of the Committee are elected by States parties by secret ballot, with due regard to fair geographical distribution, including both States of origin and States of employment of migrant workers, and to representation of the world’s main legal systems. Members serve in their personal capacity for a term of four years.^^+++[7]\n>7. Current membership: Mr. Francisco Alba (Mexico); Mr. José Serrano Brillantes (Philippines); Mr. Francisco Carrión-Mena (Ecuador); Ms. Ana Elizabeth Cubias Medina (El Salvador); Ms. Anamaría Dieguez (Guatemala); Mr. Ahmed Hassan El-Borai (Egypt); Mr. Abdelhamid El Jamri (Morocco); Mr. Arthur Shatto Gakwandi (Uganda); Mr. Prasad Kariyawasam (Sri Lanka); Mr. Azad Taghizade (Azerbaijan). Mr. Prasad Kariyawasam was elected Chairman of the Committee at its first session in March 2004. The terms of five of these members expire on 31 December 2005. The States parties will meet on 8 December 2005 to elect candidates to fill these vacancies.\n===\n\n^^\nStates parties accept the obligation under article 73 to report on the steps they have taken to implement the Convention within one year of its entry into force for the State concerned, and thereafter every five years. The reports also are expected to indicate problems encountered in implementing the Convention, and to provide information on migration flows. After examining the reports, the Committee will transmit such comments as it may consider appropriate to the State party concerned.\n\nClose cooperation between the Committee and international agencies, in particular the International Labour Office, is foreseen in the Convention (art. 74 (2) and (5)). For instance, the Committee shall invite the Office to appoint representatives to participate, in a consultative capacity, in its meetings, and shall consider in its deliberations such comments and materials as the Office may provide.\n\nUnder article 77, a State party may make a declaration recognizing the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications from or on behalf of individuals within that State’s jurisdiction who claim that their rights under the Convention have been violated. Such communications may be received only if they concern a State party which has so recognized the competence of the Committee. If the Committee is satisfied that the matter has not been, and is not being, examined by another procedure of international investigation or settlement, and that all domestic remedies have been exhausted, it may request written explanations and express its views after having considered all the available information. The individual communication procedure requires 10 declarations by States parties to enter into force. By 1 October 2005, no declaration of acceptance of article 77 had been made.^^+++[8]\n>8. Article 76 of the Convention also provides for an inter-State communication procedure according to which a State party to the Convention may at any time declare that “it recognizes the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications to the effect that a State party claims that another State party is not fulfilling its obligations under the Convention”. No declarations under this article have been received as yet.\n===\n\n^^\nIn March 2004, the Committee on Migrant Workers held its inaugural session, during which it adopted its provisional rules of procedure. In October 2004, the Committee held informal meetings to develop guidelines for the preparation of States parties’ initial reports. It formally adopted these guidelines at its second session, in April 2005. At this session, the Committee also discussed its working methods for the examination of States parties’ reports.\n<<<\n''The human rights treaty-body system and proposals for its reform''\n\nThe seven core human rights instruments (see [[chap. IV|Fact Sheet No. 24 (Rev.1): IV. The Convention in the Context of other International Instruments]] below) all establish reporting obligations for States parties.^^+++[*]\n>* For general information about the United Nations human rights treaty system, see Fact Sheet No. 30.\n===\n^^ This entails a sometimes heavy reporting burden on States that are a party to all or most instruments. In 2002, the Secretary-General called for reform of the treaty-body system. As a result, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has held consultations with treaty bodies, with States parties and with other stakeholders to chart a path towards a more efficient and effective treaty-body system.\n\nIn June 2004, the inter-committee meeting and the meeting of chairpersons approved further consultations to encourage the use of an expanded core document by States parties with information on the legal framework within the State as well as on the implementation of substantive human rights provisions which are congruent between two or more treaties. This expanded core document would then be complemented with concise reports focusing on treaty-specific issues. It was agreed that States wishing to use such an approach in their reporting to treaty bodies could do so. Further improvements to the methods of work and practices of all treaty bodies can be expected in the coming years.\n\nIn her plan of action,^^+++[9]\n^^9 ^^A/59/2005/Add.3, para. 99.\n===\n^^ the High Commissioner for Human Rights indicated that some means must be found to consolidate the work of the seven treaty bodies and to create a unified standing treaty body. She intended to submit options for treaty body reform at an intergovernmental meeting in 2006.\n\nThe Committee on Migrant Workers is closely following developments in this respect and encourages the facilitation of reporting and the harmonization of treaty-body working methods. Its reporting guidelines refer to the possibility of using an expanded core document and treaty-specific report.\n<<<
The [[International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families]] is the most comprehensive international treaty dealing with the rights of migrant workers. Other international instruments, however, also impact on the rights of migrant workers or deal with issues that are especially important to them.^^+++[10]\n>10. OHCHR has dedicated a web page to migration and human rights: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/migration/taskforce/index.htm\n===\n\n^^\nThe Convention is the latest of the seven so-called core international human rights treaties, which together form the United Nations human rights treaty system. The other six are the [[International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]], the [[International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights]], the [[International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination]], the [[Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment]], the [[Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women]], and the [[Convention on the Rights of the Child]]. Most of the rights contained in these treaties also apply to noncitizens and thus provide a basic protection of migrant workers and their families against discrimination and other violations of their fundamental human rights. For more information about the specific treaties, see the [[relevant fact sheets|Human Rights Fact Sheets]] \n\nDuring the examination of reports from States parties, members of treaty-monitoring bodies regularly raise concerns about issues related to migrant workers that fall within the framework of their specific treaty.^^+++[11]\n>11. See the study by December 18 and the International Catholic Migration Commission: The UN Treaty Monitoring Bodies and Migrant Workers: a Samizdat, November 2004, http://www.december18.net/web/docpapers/doc1940.doc\n===\n^^ The treaty bodies have raised the issue of migrant workers also in their general comments on thematic issues. Of particular relevance is general comment No. 15 of the Human Rights Committee (“The position of aliens under the Covenant”), adopted in April 1986, in which the Committee makes clear that there shall be no discrimination between aliens and citizens in the application of the human rights contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In August 2004, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination adopted its general recommendation No. 30 (“Discrimination against non-citizens”), in which it makes specific recommendations to States parties in order to eliminate discrimination against non-citizens. It recommends inter alia that States should adopt measures to ensure “that public educational institutions are open to non-citizens and children of undocumented immigrants residing in the territory of a State party”, to “eliminate discrimination against non-citizens in relation to working conditions and work requirements” and to “prevent and redress the serious problems commonly faced by non-citizen workers, in particular by non-citizen domestic workers, including debt bondage, passport retention, illegal confinement, rape and physical assault”. The Committee further clarifies that “all individuals are entitled to the enjoyment of labour and employment rights, including the freedom of assembly and association, once an employment relationship has been initiated until it is terminated”.\n\nIn addition, the International Labour Organization’s conventions set internationally recognized labour standards and are thus of importance to all workers, including migrants. Two are particularly relevant to migrant workers: the Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97), which is based on the principle of equal treatment of nationals and regular migrant workers in labour-related areas; and the Migrant Workers (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1975 (No. 143), which aims to eliminate illegal migration and illegal employment and sets requirements for the respect of rights of migrants with an irregular status, while providing for measures to end clandestine trafficking and to penalize employers of irregular migrants.\n\nOther international instruments of direct importance to migrants are the Palermo Protocols.^^+++[12]\n>12. Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children and the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the [[United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime]], adopted by General Assembly resolution 55/25 of 15 November 2000.\n===\n^^ They require States parties to criminalize acts of trafficking and smuggling, and establish a framework for international cooperation.\n\nBesides general international conventions, regional conventions, which apply only to States in certain regions of the world, can also be relevant to migrant workers. Regional human rights instruments, such as the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights, all contain rights which are beneficial to migrant workers in countries which have accepted to respect these rights.^^+++[13]\n>13. See also the European Convention on the Legal Status of Migrant Workers, which applies however only to the citizens of the eight States parties.\n===\n\n^^\nAn important development in this respect is the advisory opinion that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued at the request of Mexico on the legal status and rights of undocumented migrants.^^+++[14]\n>14. Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Advisory Opinion OC-18/03 on the juridical condition and rights of undocumented migrants, 17 September 2003.\n===\n^^ In its opinion, the Court states that the fundamental principle of equality and non-discrimination is of a peremptory nature and binds all States regardless of any circumstance or consideration such as the migratory status of a person. The Court concludes that the State thus has the obligation to respect and guarantee the labour human rights of all workers, including those of undocumented migrant workers. The Court clarifies that “the migratory status of a person cannot constitute a justification to deprive him of the enjoyment and exercise of human rights, including those of a labour-related nature” and that “States may not subordinate or condition observance of the principle of equality before the law and non-discrimination to achieving their public policy goals, whatever these may be, including those of a migratory character”.\n<<<\n''The Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants'' \n\nThe mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants was created in 1999 by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (resolution 1999/44).\n\nThe Commission requested the Special Rapporteur to “examine ways and means to overcome the obstacles existing to the full and effective protection of the human rights of [migrants], including obstacles and difficulties for the return of migrants who are non-documented or in an irregular situation”. On 6 August 1999, Ms. Gabriela Rodríguez Pizarro (Costa Rica) was appointed as Special Rapporteur. The Commission on Human Rights extended her mandate for a further three years in 2002 (resolution 2000/62).\n\nThe Special Rapporteur requests and receives information from migrants and members of their families on violations of their human rights; issues recommendations to prevent and correct such violations; promotes the effective application of relevant international legal instruments; recommends policies applicable at the national, regional and international levels to eliminate human rights violations of migrants; and records and recommends measures to stop multiple discrimination and violence against migrant women.\n\nEvery year the Special Rapporteur reports to the Commission on Human Rights about the global state of protection of migrants’ human rights, her main concerns and the good practices she has observed. In her report the Special Rapporteur informs the Commission of all the communications she has sent and the replies received from Governments. At the request of the Commission on Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur may also present reports to the General Assembly.\n\nSome important issues treated by the Special Rapporteur in her reports have been: the situation of women migrant workers and violence against them, unaccompanied minors and irregular migration (E/CN.4/2002/94), the deprivation of liberty in the context of migration management (E/CN.4/2003/85), the human rights of migrant domestic workers (E/CN.4/2004/76), and racism and discrimination against migrants (E/CN.4/2005/85).\n\nThe Special Rapporteur conducts country visits at the invitation of the Government to examine the state of protection of the human rights of migrants in the given country. The following reports on country visits containing the Special Rapporteur’s findings, conclusions and recommendations are available:\n>Canada (E/CN.4/2001/83/Add.1), Ecuador (E/CN.4/2002/94/Add.1), Philippines (E/CN.4/2003/85/Add.4), Mexico (E/CN.4/2003/85/Add.2), the border between Mexico and the United States of America (E/CN.4/2003/85/Add.3), Spain (E/CN.4/2004/76/Add.2), Morocco (E/CN.4/2004/76/Add.3), Islamic Republic of Iran (E/CN.4/2005/85/Add.2), Italy (E/CN.4/2005/85/Add.3) and Peru (E/CN.4/2005/85/Add.4).\n\nIn 2005 the Commission again extended the mandate of the Special Rapporteur (resolution 2005/47), which Mr. Jorge A. Bustamante (Mexico) has held since August 2005.\n\nFor more information, see also: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/migration/rapporteur/\n<<<
On 1 July 2003, the [[International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families]] entered into force. By 1 October 2005, 33 States had ratified it or acceded to it.^^+++[1]\n> 1. Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Honduras, Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mali, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Senegal, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Syrian Arab Republic, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Turkey, Uganda and Uruguay (see annex II).\n===\n^^The Convention is a comprehensive international treaty focusing on the protection of migrant workers’ rights. It emphasizes the link between migration and human rights—a policy topic that is drawing increasing attention worldwide.\n\nThe Convention opens a new chapter in the history of determining the rights of migrant workers and ensuring that those rights are protected and respected. It incorporates the results of over 30 years of discussion, including United Nations human rights studies, conclusions and recommendations of meetings of experts, and debates and resolutions in the United Nations on migrant workers.\n\nLike all other international human rights instruments, the Convention sets standards for the laws and the judicial and administrative procedures of individual States. Governments of States that ratify or accede to the Convention undertake to apply its provisions by adopting the necessary measures. They also undertake to ensure that migrant workers whose rights have been violated may seek an effective remedy.\n\nThis fact sheet provides information on:\n* [[The drafting history of the Convention|Fact Sheet No. 24 (Rev.1): I.

International migration is by its nature a phenomenon that is always changing, always adapting to the economic and social realities. Managing this migration in full respect of migrants’ rights is challenging. Several initiatives have been developed to assist States and international organizations in this task and the growing interest of the international community is reflected in an increasing number of activities and events.\n\nInternational migration is a priority issue for the United Nations, as the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, has emphasized.^^+++[15]\n>15. See his report on the strengthening of the United Nations: an agenda for further change (A/57/387).\n===\n^^ To provide a framework for the formulation of a coherent, comprehensive and global response to migration issues, the Global Commission on International Migration, the first-ever global panel addressing international migration, was launched by the United Nations Secretary-General and a number of Governments on 9 December 2003 in Geneva. Its mandate is, on the one hand, to place international migration on the global agenda and analyse deficiencies in current policy approaches to it and, on the other, to present recommendations to the United Nations Secretary-General and other stakeholders on how to strengthen national, regional and global governance of international migration. Thus, the final report from its independent commissioners is likely to put forward a series of strategic options together with a set of possible steps for consideration by the Secretary-General and other stakeholders. The Commission also publishes research papers, background studies and other relevant materials.\n\nIts report will likely have an impact on the high-level dialogue on international migration and development which the United Nations General Assembly will hold during its session in 2006.^^+++[16]\n>16. See its resolution 58/208 of 23 December 2003 on international migration and development.\n===\n^^ The purpose of this dialogue is to discuss the multidimensional aspects of international migration and development in order to identify appropriate ways and means to maximize its development benefits and minimize its negative impacts. The dialogue will have a strong focus on policy issues, including the challenge of achieving the internationally agreed development goals. In this context, the General Assembly has noted that the widening economic and social gap between and among many countries and the marginalization of some countries in the global economy have contributed to the intensification of the complex phenomenon of international migration. The General Assembly, therefore, considers that there is a need to strengthen international cooperation on migration and to ensure that the human rights and dignity of all migrants and their families, in particular of women migrant workers, are respected and protected.\n\nHeads of State and Government gathered at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 14 to 16 September 2005 for the 2005 World Summit. At the end of the World Summit, the General Assembly adopted a resolution in which the Heads of State and Government reaffirmed, among other things, their “resolve to take measures to ensure respect for and protection of the human rights of migrants, migrant workers and members of their families.”\n\nAnother important development took place at the 92^^nd^^ session of the International Labour Conference in June 2004, during which it adopted a plan of action for migrant workers that calls inter alia for the development of a non-binding multilateral framework for a rights-based approach to labour migration.^^+++[17]\n>17. See its resolution concerning a fair deal for migrant workers in a global economy.\n===\n^^ The plan of action is designed to ensure that migrant workers are covered by the provisions of international labour standards, while benefiting from applicable national labour and social laws.\n\nFurthermore, a number of regional intergovernmental forums have been established to discuss migration-related issues and promote cooperation.^^+++[18]\n>18. For instance, the Migration Dialogue for Southern Africa; the Migration Dialogue for West Africa; the Regional Conference on Migration or Puebla Process; the South American Conference on Migration or Lima Process; the Budapest Group and the Conference of the Commonwealth of Independent States; the 5 + 5 Dialogue on Migration in the Western Mediterranean; the Manila Process; the Inter-Governmental Asia-Pacific Consultations on Refugees, Displaced Persons and Migrants; the Regional Ministerial Conference on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime or Bali Process; and the Inter-Governmental Consultation on Asylum, Refugee, and Migration Policies in Europe, North America, and Australia.\n===\n^^ At the global level, the Berne Initiative constitutes a forum for intergovernmental cooperation in migration management. Its International Agenda for Migration Management is meant to give guidance to States in managing migration in full compliance with international standards, including those of human rights.^^+++[19]\n>19. See the website of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration, http://www.asyl.admin.ch .\n===\n^^ It represents the views of States throughout the world and offers a reference system for dialogue, cooperation and capacity-building at the national, regional and global level.\n\nFinally, it is important to stress the pivotal role that civil society plays in drawing attention to the rights of migrant workers and their families. The International NGO Platform for the Migrant Workers’ Convention coordinates NGO initiatives to raise awareness of the rights of migrants and to facilitate the promotion, implementation and monitoring of the Convention.

Even if you are not that familiar with JavaScript you may find forEachTiddler useful. Just have a look at the various ready-to-use [[ForEachTiddlerExamples]] and adapt them to your needs.\n\n''The Elements of the Macro''\n\nThe arguments of the ForEachTiddlerMacro consist of multiple parts, each of them being optional.\n\n<<slider chkFETInClause [[inClause]] "inClause" "inClause">>\n<<slider chkFETWhereClause [[whereClause]] "whereClause" "whereClause">>\n<<slider chkFETSortClause [[sortClause]] "sortClause" "sortClause">>\n<<slider chkFETScriptClause [[scriptClause]] "scriptClause" "scriptClause">>\n<<slider chkFETActions [[Action Specification]] "Action Specification" "Action Specification">>\n\n''Using Macros and ">" inside the forEachTiddler Macro''\n\nYou may use other macro calls into the expression, especially in the actionParameters. To avoid that the {{{>>}}} of such a macro call is misinterpreted as the end of the {{{<<forEachTiddler...>>}}} macro you must escape the {{{>>}}} of the inner macro with {{{$))}}} E.g. if you want to use {{{<<tiddler ...>>}}} inside the {{{forEachTiddler}}} macro you have to write {{{<<tiddler ...$))}}}.\n\nIn addition it is necessary to escape single {{{>}}} with the text {{{$)}}}.\n\n''Using {{{<<tiddler ... with: ...>>}}} to re-use ForEachTiddler definitions''\n\nSometimes you may want to use a certain ForEachTiddler definition in slight variations. E.g. you may want to list either the tiddlers tagged with "ToDo" and in the other case with "Done". To do so you may use "Tiddler parameters". Here an example:\n\nReplace the variable part of the ForEachTiddler definition with $1 ($2,... $9 are supported). E.g. you may create the tiddler "ListTaggedTiddlers" like this\n{{{\n<<forEachTiddler \n where \n 'tiddler.tags.contains("$1")'\n>>\n}}}\n\nNow you can use the ListTaggedTiddlers for various specific tags, using the {{{<<tiddler ...>>}}} macro:\n{{{\n<<tiddler ListTaggedTiddlers with: "systemConfig">>\n}}}\n{{{\n<<tiddler ListTaggedTiddlers with: "Plugin">>\n}}}\n\n\nSee also [[ForEachTiddlerExamples]].
