Farzi,

There is a lot to this question and I doubt we would get a terribly comprehensive answer if we asked this during the public GAC/Council session. I think we would likely get a more robust and helpful answer if Seb were to take this back to the GAC as our Council liaison and simply shared their response during one of our Council meetings.

Thanks,

Damon

Hello Council

I am suggesting that during our GAC meeting we ask this question:

"As human rights are a foundational part of our work, no policy development process is complete without an assessment of its potential human rights implications. GAC colleagues, could you share how you are operationalizing this commitment in your work (communiqués and other aspects?) We’d be very interested to learn from your approach as we need to undertake the HRIA that will have to happen on every pdp moving forward"

Please let us know soon if you have any objections.

Farzaneh
