ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND ON “DISAGREED CONCLUSIONS”

“CSW63 Abuse of Power: Disagreed Conclusions” (16 min.) is a dramatic video with highlights from a UN Web TV recording of the closing session of the 63rd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. It was put together by Family Watch to highlight the abuses that can occur during UN negotiations.
To give context, UN Member States had just finished several weeks of grueling negotiations on a document known as “Agreed Conclusions,” which is supposed to be adopted by consensus by all members of the Commission. Traditionally, if even one UN Member State rejects the final document then consensus is broken, and the entire document is thrown out.
Negotiations around family and life issues had been particularly contentious. However the pro-life and pro-family delegations had fought hard, and a number of good provisions remained in the final text. So the facilitator of the negotiations from Kenya, with support from the CSW chair from Ireland, at the last minute, without discussion, stripped out many good provisions which had been painstakingly negotiated over weeks. The chair then further proceeded to break rules of procedure by adopting the highly controversial and manipulated text. This was a blatant abuse of power and a show of disrespect as the CSW bureau, supported by UN Women, ignored the strong and formal rejection of the text by two UN Member States. This document should never have been adopted.
