[hre-asiapacific] Revised draft plan of action for the first phase (2005-2007) of the World Programme for HRE

Dear listserv members,

We would like to inform you that the revised (and final) draft plan of
action for the first phase (2005-2007) of the World Programme for Human
Rights Education has just been published as UN Document A/59/525/Rev.1 and
is available in the six United Nations languages at the address:
http://www.ohchr.org/english/issues/education/training/programme.htm

You may remember, that, on 10 December 2004, by resolution 59/113, the
General Assembly proclaimed the World Programme for Human Rights
Education, noted with appreciation the draft plan of action (A/59/525) for
its first phase (2005-2007), focusing on the primary and secondary school
systems, and invited States to submit comments thereon to the Office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), with a view
to its early adoption.

Accordingly, in December 2004 OHCHR sent correspondence to all Governments
seeking comments on the draft plan of action by 31 January 2005. Then,
OHCHR and UNESCO revised the plan of action in the light of the comments
received by 11 February 2005 from Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Greece,
Germany, Japan, Sweden and Turkey.

We will keep you informed of official steps towards the adoption of this
revised draft plan of action.

Regards,

Elena Ippoliti (OHCHR)
Myriam Karela (UNESCO)
