10-year review of the implementation of the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action and the outcome of the 24th special session of the General Assembly
The 43rd Session of the Commission for Social Development (CSocD43) took place at UN Headquarters in New York from 9 to 18 February 2005. The priority theme was “Review of further implementation of the World Summit for Social Development and the outcome of the twenty-fourth special session of the General Assembly” and the review of relevant United Nations plans and programmes of action pertaining to the situation of social groups.
The CSocD43 concluded its annual session by recommending a draft text to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for adoption, which would have the Commission organize its work in a series of two-year action-oriented cycles on implementation of internationally agreed commitments to advance social development, including review and policy segments, beginning in 2007.
The draft decision presented by the Commission Chairman would also have the Commission include review and policy segments in its implementation cycles, and continue to review plans and programmes of action pertaining to social groups, including in relation to the priority theme. Also by the text, the review of implementation of relevant conference outcomes — the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action and the outcome of the twenty-fourth special session of the General Assembly — would emphasize increased exchange of national, regional and international experiences, focused and interactive dialogues among experts and practitioners, and sharing of best practices and lessons learned.
Two draft resolutions on persons with disabilities were also approved today by consensus –- including a text, as orally revised, on the drafting of the convention on disability, and another, as orally amended, on the promotion of equalization of opportunities by, for and with persons with disabilities and protection of their human rights. A draft submitted by the “Group of 77” developing countries and China on the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) was also recommended for adoption by ECOSOC. Latest press release.
