Analyse sur la participation des Etats lors de la session 6

Nous avons produit une analyse (en anglais) sur la participation des États lors de la sixième session du groupe de travail de l’Examen Périodique Universel (30 nov. - 11 déc. 2009).

Résumé de l’analyse (en anglais) :

In terms of statements made, Session 6, with 750 statements, is just between session 5 and session 4, respectively 671 and 856. An average of 119 States took the floor, which ranks among the average participation of previous UPR sessions. This resulted to an average number of 6.3 statements per States, a figure again between session 5 (5.6) and session 4 (6.7). Human Rights Council (HRC) members, as always, accounted for slightly more than half of the statements made (51.3%) during the session despite representing only a third of States taking the floor (37.8%). Among HRC members, only Madagascar and Zambia did not take the floor. With regards to regional groups, the WEOG was again the most active in terms of statements made (as it was during sessions 1 to 3 and 5) and the Asian group in terms of States taking the floor (as it was during sessions 2 to 5).
