Session 62

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007 Written by: Julian

Yesterday the 62nd session of the General Assembly opened. You can look up the webcast here. The schedule is A/61/1015. There’s going to be quite a bit of climate change on this one. It won’t all be drowned out by the skewed discussions on “terrorism”.

You’ll also notice that one ongoing event which has resulted in an estimated 1.2 million violent deaths and 2 million refugees has not made it onto the agenda. There are many things which the United Nations can do nothing about, but there are others which it can’t even talk about.

It’ll take a while for the documents to start flowing through to the undemocracy.com site due to their extensive typesetting. There are still some meetings from session 61 missing, specifically meetings A/61/PV.105, A/61/PV.107 and A/61/PV.108, which haven’t shown up. I don’t know if the thematic meetings will ever get transcribed.
