A more concise format for resolutions focusing largely on future action is a possibility to be investigated. Method of introduction of resolutions 13. (...) The high-level segment should retain the present rules and practices governing participation by dignitaries, such as those on speaking time and the use of the podium, free choice of subject, right of reply and the scheduling of listed speakers based on the dignitaries’ interests and availability (in accordance with E/CN.4/2002/16, paragraph 20). 73. The secretariat should not schedule parallel activities to coincide with this segment.

It was underlined that the treaty bodies themselves could also take action to reform and streamline their work. Opening statement by the High Commissioner for Human Rights 6. (...) The view was expressed that preference should be given to short-term practical measures which did not require any legal action. After the adoption and implementation of such measures, and the completion of a testing phase of the changes in place, other reform proposals could still be discussed if further, and possibly more far-reaching, measures were needed. (...) The point was also made that OHCHR could play a more active role in addressing a number of the challenges confronting the treaty body system, especially in streamlining reporting procedures and scheduling examination of reports. Harmonization of Working Methods 17.

It goes without saying that judiciary in Greece is independent, also with regard to its decisions and internal procedures, including those related to the scheduling of hearing dates.

Non-governmental organizations have individually translated and disseminated the Law into languages understood by indigenous peoples. B. National action plans 1. National action plans to improve the well-being of indigenous peoples 14. (...) Furthermore, government action for indigenous peoples was not part of a cross- sectoral strategy and indigenous peoples themselves were not sufficiently involved in the design and implementation of the action plans. (...) The Special Rapporteur welcomes the existence of such action plans and strongly encourages the Government to seek greater participation by indigenous peoples in their preparation and implementation, to ensure that the action taken responds, in a culturally appropriate manner, to the actual needs of the populations.

OHCHR (Tistounet) asked about the possibility for TMBs to capitalise on the presence in Geneva for UPR of smaller countries that do not have Permanent Missions there by scheduling its TMB review to coincide? Professor O Flaherty suggested that it might be better for there to be appropriate space between the two processes so that States’ implementation of recommendations can be properly assessed and for follow-up across the procedures. (...) One panellist spoke of UPR as being the best thing that had happened to the treaty body system for years, and, with others, made suggestions as to the effect it might have on the treaty body system. Scheduling should take into account the UPR schedule; treaty body recommendations should become more precise, concrete and implementable, and perhaps be prioritized so as to be picked up appropriately in the process.
