I think that this concern is very plausible and Anriette articulated it very
well during the seminar, with the support of other CS. Government reps
replied that they have a different evaluation about it. They believe that a
forum of EC would serve as a space to advance a rights perspective with the
participation of all countries, including more recalcitrant ones.
