The New York office of ISHR will monitor and report on key human rights developments at the Third Committee, which meets at UN Headquarters in New York from 8 October until 28 November 2012. The General Assembly delegates most of its human rights-related work to its Third Committee, including the endorsement of the annual report of the Human Rights Council; interactive dialogues with invited special procedures and treaty body chairpersons; and the negotiation of some 50 human rights resolutions. This Alert outlines the key issues and potential flashpoints.
