CHARACTERISATION OF FUNGI OF STORED COMMON BEAN CULTIVARS GROWN IN MENOUA DIVISION, CAMEROON. Abstract Common bean is a legume grown globally especially in developing countries including Cameroon for human consumption. In Cameroon it is grown in a wide variety of agro ecological zones in quantities enough to last through the off growing season after harvest. Stored common bean after harvest in Cameroon are prone to fungal spoilage which contributes to post harvest losses. -

Programme Promoting the human rights of LGBT persons: next steps for international institutions and civil society Monday 1 – Wednesday 3 September 2014 | WP1312 Attendance is by invitation only A broad spectrum of international actors is engaged in the discourse about ways in which to promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. The first “Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity” (SOGI) resolution was passed by the United Nations in 2011, but there has yet to be a follow up resolution and it remains to be seen how the principles agreed at the UN can be best implemented on the ground. At the national level there are many countries where urgent improvements are needed to protect the human rights of LGBT persons. Up to 80 countries retain laws which discriminate on the basis of LGBT identity. Civil society groups have made a series of recommendations on the most effective ways to promote tolerance and ensure the protection of LGBT persons. Building alliances with related human rights groups is widely recognised as a key step. Development agencies seek to feed into this process in a way which supports the priorities of local advocacy groups. Regional organisations can also play a role in bringing countries together and by assisting to identify the human rights standards expected of governments. Concerted international action is needed to move forward, particularly in terms of contesting criminalisation and bringing to an end violent discrimination. This conference seeks to identify future leadership and ways in which the human rights situation for LGBT persons can be best supported by all actors in the international system. -
