Summary:

As you may know next year in March 2013, CSW will meet for its fifty-seventh session on the priority area: the elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls.

On May 23, 2012, the General Assembly convened a high level meeting on “The Role of Member States in Mediation,” to provide a platform for an in-depth and comprehensive discussion on the role of Member States in peaceful settlement of dispute and conflicts. The outcome of these discussions will contribute to the report and guidance of the Secretary-General and the upcoming General Assembly resolution on mediation.
