Explanation of vote before the vote on the draft resolution on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (L1)

Permanent Mission of India, Geneva

27th Session of the Human Rights Council

(8-26 September 2014)

Consideration of Resolutions/Decisions under agenda item 3:

Draft resolution on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (L 1)

(25 September 2014)

Explanation of Vote before the vote

Mr. President,

1. We are taking the floor to explain our position on the resolution L1 on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances.

 

2. India would like to reaffirm its support for the draft resolution. However, the resolution refers to a legal instrument that has not been acceded to by our country and many others.  In doing so, it endeavors to endorse concepts that are not universally accepted. We, therefore, dissociate from the preambular paragraph no. 8 of the resolution.

Thank you Mr. President.
