THIRD INTERSESSIONAL MEETING:
monday, 26 march 2012
Delegates convened on Monday, 26 March, for the UNCSD’s
third Intersessional Meeting, resuming their discussions under
the “informal informal” consultations held the previous week.
The group spent the entire day and evening exchanging further
views and input on the zero draft.
OPENING OF THE INTERSESSIONAL MEETING
Co-Chair Kim opened the third Intersessional Meeting and
asked delegates to return to their informal informal consultations
on the text. PALESTINE urged a discussion on the rules of
procedure. However, Co-Chair Kim said that since this would be
an informal consultation, the Bureau had decided to dedicate the
next two days to discussing the zero draft. The EU called for a
streamlining exercise to reduce the size of the text.
