Re: [hr-wsis] Re: HR and the UN
Rikke,
This has been my understanding as well, but only through media,
including various interviews of Sachs, who has a lot of currency
here right now (especially following the Tsunami).
But Rik's is the realpolitik view.

hi rikke
Thanks, but the issue I was referring to is not the ongoing debate on
reforming HRC into a smaller standing body. What I heard from one of
my colleagues, who just returned from the UN corridors of Geneva, was
a new proposal to reform the basic structure of the UN
system/organisation giving security, development and HR equal weight.
But maybe it's a misunderstanding.. Ill ask around some more...
that is certainly my understanding.. there was some discussion about
this at the UNICT TF meeting in dublin last week - where jeffrey sachs
spoke
a new HR council, a development council that would report to ECOSOC
and the reformed security council..
the challenge of course would be that security will take
emphasis/priority.. (and maybe a large issue of whether reform
proposals will go through at all..)
