It was also interesting to learn that some proposed side events were rejected by the OHCHR because they focused on specific countries or cases: the requirement was to talk about cross-country "themes." Just like the person who asked a question about this at the meeting with the High Commissioner, my impression is that this has not worked out in all cases: in some instances, the general theme was a very obvious pretext for talking about a specific country. But the very existence of such a rule is interesting in itself.
I may also be able to interview June Ray, who is responsible for liaison with NGOs, on Friday.
