Description

The General Assembly took action on dozens of draft resolutions and decisions emerging from its Third (Social, Humanitarian, Cultural), Second (Economic, Financial) and Sixth (Legal) Committees today, defying slowdowns caused by protracted procedural wrangling that threatened to reshape the day’s proceedings.

Amid the delays, the UN’s 193-member deliberative body adopted 20 resolutions of its Third Committee by recorded vote before postponing action on all other Third Committee drafts, as proceedings were bogged down by extensive procedural objections over an amendment introduced to a text related to the rights of persons with disabilities.

The Assembly had before it 56 Third Committee draft proposals — 55 resolutions and one decision. The texts span a broad spectrum of the United Nations’ normative work in human rights, social development, the advancement of women and gender equality, the protection of vulnerable groups — including children, refugees and persons with disabilities — as well as a range of cultural questions.
