The Sub-Commission concluded its 2005 session today. The final report was adopted, concluding speeches given, and good-byes exchanged. If the Sub-Commission survives this Fall's UN reform discussions in the General Assembly, next year's session is scheduled from August 7 to August 25, 2005.

On balance the session was a success, with many important developments. We issued a joint press release today with the Geneva for Human Rights organization on the highlights and disappointments of the session. We also had a press briefing with several international journalists in the afternoon.
