[Ws2-hr] dissenting opinion - final version for transmittal to CCWG plenary

Thu Aug 31 16:03:48 UTC 2017

Dear Niels,

As anticipated, please find hereunder the final version of the dissenting opinion I would like to file to the report from the Subgroup:

==
"This dissenting opinion is based on serious concerns about the Sub-Group's treatment of the substantial comments and proposals submitted during the public comment period by the Governments of Brazil, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (who are all active members of the GAC's Human Rights and International Law Working Group).
Their expectation was that a properly balanced result would reflect some if not all of the positions and proposals made in their responses. The governments are dismayed to note, however, that there are no changes of any significance to the draft FoI and Considerations documents that addresses any of the substantial issues which they raised.
In particular, the three Governments were in full agreement that the FOI text should make stronger reference to the UN Guiding Principles as the most relevant voluntary international standard. However, the Subgroup did not undertake an inclusive effort to determine if a compromise text could be formulated that would accommodate this position of the three governments.
Furthermore, the drafting team which was created by the Sub-Group in order to develop changes to the draft texts following consideration of the inputs received, lacked appropriate stakeholder balance as there was no open invitation to participate in the drafting team, which contributed to having no Government representation on this team.
This dissenting opinion is supported by Jorge Cancio (Switzerland) and Kavouss Arasteh (Iran), members of this Subgroup, and the representatives of the Governments of Brazil and UK who are observers on this Subgroup, and the representative of the Government of Peru.”

Thanks for including it in the final report to be transmitted to the CCWG Plenary for its consideration.

Kind regards

Jorge
