Third, I think we need to consider and I have raised this yesterday about of time and
targets. Whether there is time attached to some of these things or there is a mechanism by
which they are monitored or reviewed.
And ending with one thing we have touched on and it is clear that the diversity of groups
and inputs we have reflect strongly but which I don’t think comes out clearly in the
document. One is it’s understandable in a discussion when you are talking about rights to
focus very much on obligations and responsibilities. But I think we need to understand
that often rights are secured in the constant struggle and protest by social movements.
And I am mentioning this for two reasons: I think the document needs to acknowledge
that it is through the process of groups arguing and advocating for their rights that rights
become more real and in that doing they re-confirm their own identities and I think there
are two parts to it, if I can just briefly say: one is, I think the document is [often] must note
that; secondly, I think there needs to be a recommendation that state parties have a
responsibility to create the conditions not to legitimise but the conditions for civil society
and social movements to exert in order to challenge both the non-existence of the rights
or the [not clear] improper implementation of a right.
Thank you.
