«Il n‘y a pas un monde développé et un monde sous-développé, mais un seul monde mal développé»
HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
5th session
11 June – 18 June 2007
[Excerpt from the statement]
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism is fuelling many hopes and some concerns, including that expressed by 61 non-governmental organisations in an open letter to the President of the Council (dated 11 June 2007) concerning the treatment that will be given to information provided by NGOs. We would like to believe that the explicit reference to ECOSOC Resolution 1996/31 in the Principles governing the UPR will ensure their full publication within the limits imposed by the same resolution.
