Re: [hr-wsis] HR and the UN





Rikke,

This has been talked about for about for a few weeks.

It overlapped with the report on Oil for Food.

I rushed, otherwise I would send links, but you
can easily find it.

As I recall, the idea is to create an mechanism like
the Security Council for HR specifically.

I am sure some else here can fill in / correct me.

Hi

 

I just heard from the HR Commission in Geneva, that Kofi A. has proposed (in a speech) that the UN system be reformed into three main pillars; fight against terrorism, development and HR…

 

This would mean a big upgrade of HR within the UN system, and I am quite astonished that he even proposed it.. Does anyone know more ?
