No mention of human rights in that statement Peter? I pulled out
this piece further up:<br>
<br>
The Presidents decided to initiate a human rights working group
under the aegis of the Global Partnership Dialogue. The objective
of the Dialogue is to exchange views and intensify efforts to
strengthen multilateral human rights institutions. The Presidents
also noted the importance of relying on independent, multilateral
monitoring mechanisms to ensure the legitimacy and credibility of
international efforts to promote and defend human rights and
fundamental freedoms. <br>
<br>
But I note that it does not appear anywhere near the important
material on trade agreements, nor does it leaven the emphasis on
cybersecurity we see below. However, I suppose we must just focus
on making sure the messages are delivered at all the forums
mentioned. Thanks for the update!<br>
Kind regards<br>
