Summary 
------- 
 
1.  Discussion during the June 13 informal consultations 
focused on the second, more substantive week of the June 
19-30 Human Rights Council inaugural session. 
President-designate Luis Alfonso de Alba provided attendees 
with a draft program of work (e-mailed to IO-RHS and 
DRL-MLA-DL), which drew broad support for its inclusion of: 
1) consideration of the five intergovernmental working 
groups; 2) "pressing" human rights issues; 3) working groups 
for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process and mandate 
review; 4) a program of work for future HRC sessions; and 5) 
interim measures on mechanisms and mandates.  Many delegates, 
including Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) 
countries, stressed, however, the need to identify specific 
themes, like occupied Arab territories.  Several members 
suggested that migrant issues be considered as an urgent 
matter.  Informal consultations on the program of work for 
the year will be held on June 15.  End Summary. 
 
Facing the Inevitable 
--------------------- 
 
2.  Strong support continued for consideration and possible 
action on all five inter-governmental working groups -- 
including Enforced Disappearances  and the UN Declaration on 
the Rights of Indigenous Peoples -- and on the occupied Arab 
territories.  We and a few others continued to insist on a 
procedural-heavy first Council session, but our ranks were 
noticeably smaller compared to those supporting consideration 
of working groups (European Union and GRULAC) and the 
Palestinian issue (OIC and African Group).  In her statement, 
U.S. Charge Cassel stressed the importance of building a 
solid foundation for the Council through the establishment of 
two working groups to review mandates and develop a Universal 
Periodic Review process, extension of all mandates, and 
continuation of country-specific resolutions as a last resort. 
 
What's A "Pressing" Issue? 
-------------------------- 
 
3.  Several members requested further clarification on 
exactly which themes would be discussed under the agenda item 
"pressing human rights issues" in de Alba's draft program of 
work.  OIC countries, particularly Syria and Pakistan, 
considered it as a time to discuss what they consider to be 
urgent issues -- i.e., Israeli-occupied Palestine and 
religious tolerance.  Chile, Mexico, and the Philippines said 
they considered migrant issues to be a theme falling under 
this category.  A few members suggested discussion of the 
entry into force of the Optional Protocol to the Convention 
Against Torture, which is expected to occur June 22. 
Although in his overview of the agenda, de Alba said 
discussion of pressing issues did not necessarily mean that a 
decision would be taken.  In the course of the debate he 
noted that some issues may be ready for decision.  It would 
be up to the member states to decide, however, which issues 
should be discussed and which were ready for action.

Proposal For Two New Working Groups 
----------------------------------- 
 
4.  De Alba said that the UPR and mandate review working 
groups or processes should both be inter-sessional to allow 
members more flexibility.  He suggested that they not be 
formal working groups to avoid significant financial 
implications.  Many members agreed with his assertion that 
the UPR working group should complete its work by the end of 
this year to allow the Council to begin reviewing countries 
by early 2007.  Along these lines, Canada presented a 
non-paper suggesting 10 days (i.e., 20 three-hour meetings) 
of scheduled, open-ended, and fully-serviced meetings for the 
yet-to-be-established working group to develop a new review 
mechanism by the end of the year.  Algeria urged the Council 
to examine country review processes from the New Partnership 
for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the African Union (AU) 
instead of trying to start from scratch.  Norway mentioned 
the possibility of a third working group to deal with work 
methods and rules of procedure, but several members, 
including Brazil and the United Kingdom, said it would be 
better to limit it to two since smaller delegations would not 
have the capacity to deal with more. 
 
Other Week Two Agenda Items 
--------------------------- 
 
5.  Most members stressed the importance of completing a 
program of work for future sessions with the understanding 
that the first year was simply a transitional one which would 
not necessarily set a precedent for subsequent years.  The 
Chilean Ambassador challenged members to come up with a 
finalized agenda and program of work for the year by 
Thursday, June 15.  Discussion on the Sub-commission focused 
on extending its mandate.  However, several members, 
including supporters, said Sub-commission elections should be 
postponed for now.  Members, including Cuba, also requested 
that the High Commissioner for Human Rights release advance 
copies of her report so they could prepare for the 
interactive dialogue segment with her.  The agenda item 
"Dialogue and Cooperation on Human Rights: Human Rights 
Education and Learning, Advisory Services, Technical 
Assistance and Capacity-Building" drew little support, and 
several members suggested allotting more time to higher 
priority issues instead.
