What
will be the
outcome?
The issue
of an outcome
of the 49th
session has
been raised
during informal
consultations
with members
of the CSW.
No agreement
has been reached
yet. It is
likely that
the type of
outcome might
not be known
until after
the umbrella
resolution
on follow-up
to Beijing
and Beijing
+5 has been
adopted in
the Third Committee
of the General
Assembly, possibly
in late November.
Who
can participate?
At its substantive
session in
July 2004,
the ECOSOC
adopted ECOSOC
decision 2004/309:
Preparations
for the forty-ninth
session of
the Commission
on the Status
of Women (please
see ,
PDF) which
authorises
the 49th session
of CSW to convene
a high-level
plenary meeting
open to the
participation
of all 蘑菇视频 Member
States and
Observers.
In addition
to government
representatives
and observers,
non-governmental
organizations
(NGOs) which
are accredited
to, and in
good standing
with, the Economic
and Social
Council ECOSOC
are eligible
to designate
representatives
to attend the
session. Moreover,
ECOSOC also
adopted resolution
2004/57: Participation
of non-governmental
organizations
in the forty-ninth
session of
the Commission
on the Status
of Women (please
see ,
PDF) which
invites those
non-governmental
organizations
not in consultative
status, accredited
to Beijing
and Beijing+5
to attend the
49th session
of CSW on an
exceptional
basis. Invitation
letters to
these NGOs
are being sent
