Letter from the President -- appointment of chair-rapporteur and rapporteurs (resolution 38/18)
HUMA RIGHTS COUNCIL
18 October 2018
Excellencies,
I have the honour to refer to the Human Rights Council resolution 38/18 of 6 July 2018 entitled “The contribution of the Human Rights Council to the prevention of human rights violations”, in which the Council decided to convene two intersessional seminars with States and other relevant stakeholders on the contribution that the Human Rights Council can make to the prevention of human rights violations. The Council requested the President of the Human Rights Council to appoint a chair-rapporteur and two rapporteurs to chair and facilitate the two intersessional seminars in Geneva.
Following my consultations with the regional groups, I have decided to appoint Ms Yvette Stevens (Sierra Leone) as the chair-rapporteur. Additionally, in my capacity as the President of the Human Rights Council, I have decided to appoint Mr Nils Muižnieks (Latvia) and Mr Pablo de Greiff (Colombia) as the two rapporteurs who together with the chair-rapporteur will chair and facilitate the two intersessional seminars in Geneva.
Please accept, Excellencies, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Vojislav ŠUC
President of the Human Rights Council
