New HRC Secretariat document on the list of speakers
The Secretariat of the Human Rights Council has summarized in a document the procedure on the opening of the list of speakers.
Here are the main points:
- from now on, the inscription for the two reviews of a given day will take place the day before 15 minutes before the begining of the afternoon review.
- for the first day of the session, the inscription is at 9 am the very same day for both reviews.
- the list does not close so States can always inscribe.
- however time only allows for 45 States to take the floor and the remaining ones will be given the floor if time remains.
