Preparatory activities relating to the World Conference
on Human Rights
Seventh session
24. At the 88th meeting, on 11 November 1991, the Committee took note of the
fact that Ms. Christine Chanet and Ms. Diaz Palacios, who had been designated
by the Committee as its representative and alternate representative to the
Preparatory Committee for the World Conference on Human Rights, were no longer
in a position to continue their task since they did not intend to be
candidates for re-election as members of the Committee for a new term
beginning 1 January 1992. Consequently, the Committee designated Mr. Sorensen
as its representative to the Preparatory Committee for the Conference and
Mr. Mikhailov as its alternate representative.
25. At its 98th meeting, on 18 November 1991, Ms. Chanet reported on her
participation in the first session of the Preparatory Committee which had been
held in Geneva from 9 to 13 September 1991.
26. In her intervention during that session, Ms. Chanet had stated, inter
alia, that the World Conference should make a specific assessment of the ways
and means available to it and should approach its work in three different
ways. First, States should be encouraged to accede to existing instruments
without reservations. Secondly, new approaches should be explored in order to
ensure broader and more specific observance of human rights and to consider
the establishment of new structures to provide an immediate response in
situations of flagrant and massive human rights violations. Thirdly, issues
relating to information, communication, education, technical assistance and
research should also be a priority in the work of the Conference.
27. At the 98th and 99th meetings, on 18 and 19 November 1991, members of the
Committee exchanged views on suggestions and recommendations that could be
submitted to the Preparatory Committee at its second session, to be held in
Geneva from 30 March to 10 April 1992. They were of the view that a formal
report on their discussion of the World Conference was not necessary at that
stage.
28. The Committee agreed that its discussion as reflected in the relevant
summary records should serve to guide its representative and its alternate
representative to the Preparatory Committee for the World Conference on Human
Rights.
Eighth session
29. At its 113th meeting, on 4 May 1992, Mr. Sorensen reported on his
participation in the second session of the Preparatory Committee.
