[Ws2-hr] Outcomes of todays call

[Jorge.Cancio at bakom.admin.ch]

Dear Niels,

this is my dissenting statement proposal (and may be considered by you as a "minority statement"):

--

"The new draft FoI and Considerations documents have factually ignored the comments made during the public comment phase. As a matter of fact no change of any significance has been accepted by the group.

In particular, given the fact that the three Government inputs received were in line regarding a stronger mention and recognition of the UNGP, we think that a compromise text should have been sought and found by the Subgroup addressing these inputs.

Moreover, we have doubts and concerns on the process followed, especially on the lack of transparence in the establishment as well as stakeholder balance and diversity of the so-called "drafting team" established to process the received inputs.

Hence, the resulting text does not account for the diversity of views expressed both in the Subgroup and in the public comment period.

For this reason as member of this Subgroup and representative of the Swiss Government I would like to disassociate myself from the final draft text prepared by the Subgroup as it fails to adequately reflect the different points of view in the Subgroup and the inputs received during the public comment phase."

Kind regards

Jorge

Betreff: [Ws2-hr] Outcomes of todays call

Human Rights sub-group participants,

On today’s Human Rights call we completed the first reading of our
report back to the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 plenary with unanimous
consent (documents attached).

The sub-group does recognize that some participants who disagree with
portions of the report were unable to attend the call and therefore as
per the CCWG WS2 Charter Section V this would only constitute a
consensus decision.

It was also agreed that those participants wishing to include a minority
opinion statement in the final report should be allowed to do so.

As such any such minority opinion statements by participants should be
available to the sub-group by Monday 28 August 23:59 UTC so they can be
considered as part of the second reading on Tuesday 29 August 19:00 UTC.

Best,

Niels
