Statements at the UN

Enjoying consultative status with the United Nations since 1981, the CETIM is able to present interventions to the United Nations human rights protection bodies (Human Rights Council and its subsidiary bodies, and treaty bodies) to submit cases of human rights violations and present proposals in terms of new international norms. These interventions can take the form of oral statements or written statements (case studies).

All statements presented by the CETIM to the United Nations are available in electronic format since 1993. They are ordered by year but you can also search by organ, session, theme or key-word.

Some statements are available in three languages (French, English, Spanish). Others in English only.
