Seminar on Universal Periodic Review Lausanne; August 28, 2006 Presentation by Ambassador Masood Khan Pakistan’s Permanent Representative

Disclaimer Not an OIC presentation. OIC views were presented to the Council on August 2. The OIC as a group would present its positions only formally to the Human Rights Council Views being expressed today with a view to promoting dialogue and understanding.

What do we need to decide? What? Define the animal. Know its anatomy. Its genes and lineage. Its evolution and adaptation to the new body. Question of principles and parameters Who? The Council. The Plenary or the Committees or the Working Groups. How? The process: during the Council sessions or intersessionally Dialogue with country concerned Outcome: Process Verbale Follow up: VI, TC, next UPR When?

What? - Stick to A/60/251 Normative/ legal basis: All universal human rights under the Charter, the UDHR, conventions and treaties, domestic laws, commitments, obligations. Collective rights to self-determination, to development would not to be sidelined. Stay within the parameters. Don’t reinvent the wheel. It will only result in loss of time and needless squabbling. Objective and reliable info Universality of coverage and equal treatment Cooperative mechanism; interactive dialogue with the full involvement of state concerned; Capacity building Complement not duplicate the work of treaty bodies Deadline for developing modalities and schedules is one year Council members first Member-driven

Who ? Reviewers: It should be the Council, the entire body. Universal should also mean universal review by all Council Members. If it is a Committee, it should be Committee of the Whole. Observer states and NGOs with the ECOSOC consultative status will observe the proceedings. Who will prepare the dossier? Let us call it a report. What are the precedents? Shall we give this job to The Office? The Sub-Commission? Sub-Com successor expert body? States themselves? Our answer: States themselves.

How? The State State concerned prepares and submits report Additional info: reports of the treaty bodies, special procedures and other UN sources. Anatomy of the report: five elements: basic facts; institutional infrastructure; ratifications; affirmative programmes; role and independence of media, civil society. The report be submitted to members in advance.

How? The Council The Council each year shall approve a standard Questionnaire, list of countries to be reviewed, schedule. Interactive dialogue: Presentation of the report by state concerned; adoption of the outcome. Cooperative; constructive. Not Name and Shame Not You scratch my back, I scratch yours But reciprocal altruism. Motto: Help states help themselves. Designate a Rapporteur

Periodicity Single cycle: five years to cover all UN members; 35 to 40 each year; two hours each state; number of days required 12 to 14. Multiple Cycles: According to the level of development of states. One,DdCs: 35-e3y-11py; Two, DgCs: 106-e5y-20py Three,LDCs: 50-e7y-7py Altogether 40 countries each year; 3 hours each state; number of days in a year 20.

Outcome and Follow up OUTCOME: Proces Verbale : Summary of proceedings with recommendations to be adopted by consensus Follow up: implementations, voluntary initiatives by states, technical cooperation, review of progress at the next UPR. Review: Follow up should itself be reviewed.

When? Commence after modalities for the UPR are adopted by the Council. Prepare intersessionally, but review during the sessions. Nothing would be more important than the UPR.

Stockholders and Stakeholders We will cooperate and respect each other’s space Will change adjacency into synergy Reduce latent hostility Special Procedures and Sub-Commission draw their authority and legitimacy from the Council Transparency Awareness raising Education
