The Ad Hoc Working Group (AHWG) on the Revitalization of the work of the General Assembly (GA) held a general debate and four thematic meetings between 4 March and 16 May. Following the thematic meetings, five informal informal sessions were scheduled in order to draft the 68th session’s resolution on the Revitalization of the work of the GA. The following article will summarize the main points made during the informal consultations amongst Member States and regional and other political groupings. It will also highlight the key elements of the final resolution.
On 7 September, Member States are expected to adopt a decision to continue the negotiations in the 69th session. The draft circulated by PGA Ashe resembles previous decisions and does not push for the Chair's recommendations of July 2014.
On 9 July 2014, Ambassador Zahir Tanin's summary of the latest round of meetings was distributed, as well as his recommendations on how to move the process along.
