[WSIS CS-Plenary] Letter to OHCHR

[Meryem Marzouki]

Dear all,

The letter to Mr Bertrand Ramcharan, UN Deputy High Commissioner for 
Human Rights, has been sent, with a list of 43 endorsements from 
national and international NGOs. Many thanks to all who signed.

This letter sollicitates his participation to WSIS PrepCom3 and to the 
Summit to ensure that human rights language in the WSIS process is 
comprehensive, strong and consistent with resolutions and decisions 
adopted by the Commission on Human Rights and build upon human rights 
language developed through the various UN world summits and conferences.

A copy has been sent by email to Mr Adama Samassekou, President of the 
WSIS Preparatory Process, and to Mr Pierre Gagné, Director of the WSIS 
Executive Secretariat.

This letter is a joint initiative from the World Federalist Movement 
(contact: Rik Panganiban, rikp at bluewin.ch) and the WSIS Human Rights in 
the Information Society Caucus, a group of 22 NGOs (contact: Rikke 
Frank Jorgensen, Danish Institute for Human Rights, rfj at humanrights.dk, 
and Meryem Marzouki, Imaginons un Réseau Internet Solidaire, 
Meryem.Marzouki at iris.sgdg.org).

The letter with the list of signatures is available on the Human Rights 
Caucus web site:

Best regards,
Meryem Marzouki
