WORKING GROUPS EASILY PASS 
 
 
GENEVA 00001637  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
Summary 
------- 
 
1.  The Human Rights Council (HRC) passed resolutions on all 
five inter-governmental working groups during the June 29-30 
conclusions and recommendations portion of the inaugural 
session.  Discussion on the working group resolutions took 
place June 26-27, at which time the United States delivered 
statements expressing concern or opposition to the reports 
emanating from each of the working groups.  As expected, 
Enforced Disappearances, the draft Declaration on the Rights 
of Indigenous Peoples (DRIP), the Optional Protocol to the 
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural 
Rights, the Right to Development, and Durban all easily 
passed and were met by only a few reservations from various 
HRC member states.  Four of the five resolutions were passed 
by consensus.  The only vote was on the DRIP, which passed by 
a 30-2-12 vote.  (Note: Canada and Russia voted "no.")  USDel 
statements and documents on each of the working groups may be 
found on Mission Geneva's Internet website. A summary on each 
resolution follows.  End Summary. 
 
Enforced Disappearance (A/HRC/1/L.2) 
------------------------------------ 
 
2.  Adopted on June 29 by consensus.  A number of states made 
explanations of vote.  Significantly, Canada, the UK, and 
India spoke to the issue of criminal intent.  India also said 
it objected to the exclusion of "non-state actors" in the 
document.  RESULT: The International Convention for the 
Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance will 
now go to the General Assembly for adoption.  U.S. POSITION: 
USDel's June 27 statement noted that it had submitted a 
document for circulation specifying its legal concerns with 
the draft convention. 
 
Indigenous (A/HRC/1/L.3) 
------------------------ 
 
3. Adopted on June 29 with a vote of 30-2-12.  Canada and 
Russia voted "no."  Fourteen member states made explanations 
of vote.  India, Bangladesh, Morocco, Philippines, UK, 
Germany, Japan, Brazil, Argentina all noted that 
self-determination for indigenous persons does not impair 
territorial integrity or political unity.  The UK, Germany, 
and Japan stated that collective rights in the DRIP are not 
human rights.  In general comments, Peru and France stated 
that the DRIP would be subject to national constitutions. 
Canada said little on interpretation but noted that the 
declaration did not develop customary law and did not apply 
to them.  Russia spoke to self-determination.  RESULT: The 
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous 
Peoples will now go to the General Assembly for adoption. 
U.S. POSITION: During the June 27 discussion on the working 
group, Australian PermRep Caroline Millar delivered a joint 
statement on behalf of the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand 
opposing the adoption of the Declaration. 
 
Optional Protocol to ICESCR (A/HRC/1/L.4) 
----------------------------------------- 
 
 
GENEVA 00001637  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
4.  Adopted on June 29 by consensus.  Canada asked us to 
participate in the drafting session and noted that, now that 
the ESCR working group is set, the EU is likely to split. 
RESULT: The Working Group on an Optional Protocol to the 
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural 
Rights will have its mandate extended by two years; it will 
begin work on a first draft optional protocol to be used as a 
basis for future negotiations.  U.S. POSITION: In its June 27 
statement, USDel opposed the mandate to draft an optional 
protocol citing procedural and substantive reasons. 
 
Right to Development (A/HRC/1/L.7) 
---------------------------------- 
 
5.  Adopted on June 30 by consensus.  Canada said it would 
prefer continuing dialogue on this issue, but ultimately 
joined consensus.  RESULT: The Working Group on the Right to 
Development will request the High-Level Task Force on the 
Implementation of the Right to Development to meet for five 
days by the end of 2006 with a view toward implementing 
recommendations from the working group's seventh session 
report.  U.S. POSITION: On June 26, USDel expressed its 
opposition to Right to Development, stating our 
interpretation of the term to mean an individual's right to 
develop through the exercise of the full range of civil and 
political rights. 
 
Durban (A/HRC/1/L.8) 
-------------------- 
 
6.  Adopted on June 30 (after PBI distributed) by consensus. 
Before joining consensus, Canada said that it did not think a 
new instrument was needed and noted that implementation of 
CERD and other existing instruments was the real solution in 
fighting racial discrimination.  RESULT: The 
Inter-Governmental Working Group on the Effective 
Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Program of 
Action will have its mandate extended by three years; in 
close consultations with regional groups, OHCHR is to select 
five experts (from each regional group) to study substantive 
gaps in existing instruments and provide recommendations at 
the working group's fifth session.  U.S. POSITION: In its 
June 26 statement, USDel called for full implementation of 
the CERD and opposed the drafting of a new instrument.
