SUMMARY:Language and Minority Rights: A Dialogue Forum with the Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Charter (Article 1) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 2) affirm the right to non-discrimination based on language while the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic\, Religious and Linguistic Minorities (Article 2) asserts that persons belonging to minorities have the right to “use their own language\, in private and in public\, freely and without interference or any form of discrimination.”  Yet linguistic minorities throughout the world continue to experience challenges to their language rights as well as inequitable access to other civil and human rights. \nIn this session\, current Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues Fernand de Varennes will discuss the intersection of language and minority rights\, including implementational challenges and possibilities. Representatives of NGOs\, Secretariat and UN agency staff\, colleagues from Member States\, scholars\, and others interested in linguistic minority rights are invited to participate in an open dialogue with the Special Rapporteur. \nRegister here by November 27! \nAbout the Special Rapporteur: \nProfessor Fernand de Varennes\, a globally recognized expert on linguistic and human rights\, has served as the Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues since 2017 Reporting to the Human Rights Council and to the General Assembly\, the Special Rapporteur promotes the implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic\, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and guides the work of the Forum on Minority Issues\, among other responsibilities. \nProgramme: \n\n8:45 – 9:00am  Sign In\n9:00 – 9:05am  Introduction – Francis M. Hult\, Chair\, Committee on Language and Languages\n9:05 – 9:35am  Fernand de Varennes\, Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues\n9:35 – 9:55am  Open Dialogue\n9:55 – 10:00am  Closing Remarks – Humphrey Tonkin\, Vice-Chair\, Committee on Language and Languages\n\n_________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Language and Languages is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.

SUMMARY:Financing for Development in a Fractured World
DESCRIPTION:Join the NGO Committee on Financing for Development for an important look at FfD in a contemporary context\, knowing that the repercussions of COVID-19 and climate destruction are here to stay\, at least for the foreseeable future. \nDate and Time: 8:30 am – 10:00 am EST on November 9\, 2022 \n Please register in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwuduutpjguGtENOtCZCf-EtA7AD0azr_Wu  \nObjective: The General Assembly will decide during the current session whether it is ready to convoke the fourth Financing for Development (FfD) conference in the next few years. The global economy is in a difficult situation\, especially for development\, underlining the need for more effective international economic and financial cooperation. While it is not obvious that the international community as a whole is currently ready to effectively address the pending issues\, it is time to start to try to build a new global consensus on financing for sustainable development. \nThe objective of the NGO Committee on FfD in organizing this workshop is to build the capacity of NGOs/CSOs that focus on a range of economic\, social\, and environmental issues to engage effectively in the FfD processes and to share updates on the current FfD discussions. While the session is geared towards NGOs/CSOs already engaged with UN processes\, it is open to anyone interested in gaining an understanding of FfD. Speakers will provide a perspective of the FfD processes\, clarify the larger impact of FfD-related decisions on the achievements of the 2030 agenda\, and share insights on current developments and areas that require urgent action and strengthened advocacy efforts. \nRead the full concept note here! \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Financing for Development is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.
