    6 January 2006 To: Foreign Ministers of U.N. Member States U.N. Permanent Representatives Re: Essential Elements of a Human Rights Council We, the undersigned organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting and promoting human rights, have closely observed the discussions aimed at creating a new Human Rights Council for the United Nations, as proposed by the Secretary-General and agreed by heads of state in September. As the negotiations resume in the period 11-16 January 2006 (with the hope of a final resolution), we write to underscore the elements which we believe are absolutely essential to create a new Council that would be truly an improvement over the existing Commission on Human Rights. Much progress is reflected in the draft resolution dated 19 December 2005. The following provisions are now included as non-bracketed text, and are of central importance to us: • Affirmation that “the Council should address situations of violations of human rights, including gross and systematic violations, and make recommendations thereon,” repeating the clear language agreed by world leaders in the World Summit Outcome Document (OP3). • Provisions stating that membership in the Council shall be based inter alia on the “contribution [of candidate countries] to the promotion and protection of human rights,” and that “members elected to the Council shall abide by the highest standards for the promotion and protection of human rights and fully cooperate with the Council” (OP6 and OP8). • OP9 language that “members of the Council shall be reviewed under the universal periodic peer review mechanism during their term of membership.” • The decision that the Council “shall meet regularly throughout the year” and that special meetings may be called as needed (OP 11).

    ODIHR.GAL/30/12 21 May 2012 OSCE+ ENGLISH only INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION Serbia — Parliamentary and Early Presidential Elections, Second Round, 20 May 2012 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Belgrade, 21 May 2012 – This Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions is the result of a common endeavour involving the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR), and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA). The OSCE/ODIHR Limited Election Observation Mission (LEOM) remained in the country to observe the second round of the presidential election on 20 May. Matteo Mecacci (Italy), Head of the OSCE PA Delegation, was appointed by the OSCE Chairperson-in- Office as Special Co-ordinator to lead the short-term observer mission. Corien Jonker (the Netherlands) is the Head of the OSCE/ODIHR LEOM, deployed from 4 April 2012. The second round of the early presidential election is assessed for its compliance with the OSCE commitments for democratic elections, as well as with national legislation. This statement should be considered in conjunction with the Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions issued on 7 May, after the first round of voting.1 The overall assessment of the elections will depend, in part, on the conduct of the remaining stages of the election process. The OSCE/ODIHR LEOM will issue a comprehensive final report, including recommendations for improvements, some eight weeks after the completion of the election process. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS Between the 6 May first round and the 20 May presidential run-off, contestants continued to enjoy equal opportunities for campaigning, which offered voters a distinct political choice.
