07 Mar Topics of Interest at the 22nd Session of the Human Rights Council
The 22nd session of the Human Rights Council opened on February 22, and is now in its second week. The overall program of work is available here.
A hot topic next week will be the March 11 discussion on Syria, which will draw on this February 2013 report by the International Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic.
In addition, the Council has now discussed the right to adequate housing, enforced disappearances and the rights of the child. Yesterday, Special Rapporteur on human rights and counter terrorism Ben Emmerson urged US authorities to “publish without delay, and to the fullest extent possible, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report into the CIA’s secret detention and interrogation programme” as this article explains. There is a nifty chart showing countries and issues to be addressed here. Webcasts are available here.
