A/HRC/19/58/Rev.1 Advance Edited Version Distr.: General 2 March 2012 Original: English Human Rights Council Nineteenth session Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Report of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances* ** Summary The Working Group was the first United Nations human rights thematic mechanism to be established with a universal mandate. The original mandate derives from Commission on Human Rights resolution 20 (XXXVI) of 29 February 1980. This resolution followed General Assembly resolution 33/173 of 20 December 1978, in which the Assembly expressed concern at reports from various parts of the world relating to enforced disappearances and requested the Commission on Human Rights to consider the question of missing or disappeared persons. The mandate was most recently extended by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 16/16 of 24 March 2011. The total number of cases transmitted by the Working Group to Governments since its inception is 53,778. The number of cases under active consideration that have not yet been clarified, closed or discontinued stands at 42,759 in a total of 82 States. The Working Group has been able to clarify 448 cases over the past five years. The present report reflects communications and cases examined by the Working Group during its three sessions in 2011, covering the period 13 November 2010 to 11 November 2011. It includes, in annex I, sections on 95 States and territories; the Working Group’s latest general comment on the right to recognition as a person before the law in the context of enforced disappearance; and the Working Group’s revised methods of work. -

Administration of Spatial Information in the Americas
Administration of Spatial Information in the Americas Mario Alberto REYES IBARRA, Mexico Key words: Spatial Data Infrastructure, Core Data, PC IDEA, Sustainable Development ABSTRACT International economic and social development is currently facing a number of challenges that require the adoption of new schemes and paradigms associated to globalization and sustainable development. One of such challenges is to make the most and best of available statistical and geographic information. These ideas are in the agenda of several international forums that reflect the governments’ concern to provide an adequate response to problems affecting social and human development in our countries. Those forums include the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002, South Africa), the World Summit on the Information Society (2003, Switzerland) and the Special Summit of the Americas (2004, Mexico). Along the years, an extraordinary volume of data has developed the world over and, of course, in the Americas. Due to their characteristics, integration process or other features, these data have not become operative pieces of information for better decision making on matters related to economic and social development planning. In view of the increasing demands of society, countries need to adopt management schemes and data administration plans that would allow for data integration, characterization, enhanced availability, access and distribution. Nowadays, there are sub-regional and regional instances dedicated to foster and develop geographic information or spatial information, such as the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH), and the Permanent Committee on SDI for the Americas (PC-IDEA). The sub-regional instances include the Central American Geographic Information Project (PROCIG), the Meso-American and Caribbean Geospatial Alliance (MACGA) and the recent Spatial Data Infrastructure Initiative for Andean Countries; Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia (IDE ANDINA). -
