During the 45th session of the Human Rights Council (14 September – 7 October 2020), the Geneva Centre continued its regular practice of publishing in real time analytical reports from the HRC meetings.
Over the course of the 45th session, we followed 3 panel debates, 10 interactive dialogues, 10 Universal Periodic Review adoptions, 7 General Debates, and an Urgent debate on the human rights situation in Belarus.
Along with individual session reports we provided a number of summary tables, including the one in which we summarized 82 reports submitted by the UN experts, and seven comprehensive summaries of General Debates. A final extensive report on 35 resolutions adopted during the 45th session of the Council, and the Voting Patterns table by all countries were also prepared by our Team.
More than 150 diplomats from 75 Permanent Missions in Geneva have received our HRC45 reports. We are especially proud to be able to assist smaller delegations in Geneva. Our reports have also been shared with more than 200 subscribers from United Nations agencies and International Organizations, NGOs, Media Sources and Academic Institutions.
