Shirin Ebadi speech (if accepted)
Dear all,
To avoid any misunderstanding, let me clarify this point:
It is obvious that Shirin Ebadi would be briefed with the main issues
and concerns addressed by civil society at WSIS since 2002. Since the
HR caucus proposed her name, and got many supports, it is obviously the
first duty of the HR caucus to brief her on that. But it is not
reasonable to ask for a meeting between her and thousands of persons...
I think that the caucus has gained enough confidence from CS @ WSIS
since 2002, on its capacity to understand and participate to the
promotion of all issues, even if this is not, obviously, at the level
of details each dedicated caucus may reach.
But on the other hand, it is equally obvious that we cannot commit on
every single issue be specifically addressed by Ms. Ebadi, since she,
in the end, will write her own address. This is what I meant when
speaking on "conditional support", and I wrote this message for the
sake of transparency and honesty.
Again, I would like to remind everyone that this is the opening speech,
and further speaking slots (round tables, plenaries, high level panels)
would be used by other CS speakers to elaborate more on specific issues.
Best,
Meryem
