PANEL DISCUSSIONS
During the 121stAssembly, several panel discussions will be held. On Tuesday, 20 October, threepanel discussions will take place on the subject items of the Standing Committees that have beenincluded in the agenda of the 122ndAssembly.The format and conduct of these panel discussions will be largely informal, with focus on debateand interaction. They will be moderated by two or more experts. The co-Rapporteurs will alsomake very brief (maximum five minutes) introductions of their draft report.The aim of these panel discussions is to help raise the awareness of IPU Members of the subjectsincluded in the agenda of the 122ndAssembly. There will be no negotiations as such and allprepared speeches setting out formal positions are highly discouraged.The panel discussions also offer the participants an opportunity to provide comments andsuggestions on the preliminary draft reports that have been prepared by the co-Rapporteurs. Thiswill provide the co-Rapporteurs with an intermediary checkpoint halfway through the draftingprocess and help them to enrich their reports and recommendations.In addition to the above-mentioned panel discussions, on Wednesday, 21 October, there will bepanel discussions on:•HIV/AIDS – Universal access to prevention, treatment and care;•Our World at War: Challenges for International Humanitarian Law – an eventorganized jointly by the IPU IHL Committee and the ICRC;•Human rights and the Universal Periodic Review.Panel discussion onHIV/AIDS – Universal access to prevention, treatment and careBy the end of 2007 an estimated 33 million people worldwide were living with HIV. That sameyear, 2.5 million people were newly infected and some 2 million died of AIDS. The situation isparticularly grave in low- and middle-income counties, where only 30 per cent of people in needof treatment actually receive it.The panel discussion, to be held from 9 to 11 a.m., will look at ways in which parliaments andparliamentarians can help universal access to become a reality, with a focus on activities that yieldconcrete results. In the United Nations Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS (2006), governmentscommitted to providing universal access by 2010. UNAIDS predicts that if this goal is met, it willbreak the trajectory of the epidemic and avert 10 million deaths between now and 2015.Panel discussion onOur World at War: Challenges for International Humanitarian LawThis panel discussion, organized jointly by the IPU’s International Humanitarian Law Committeeand the ICRC, on the occasion of the 60thanniversary of the Geneva Conventions, will take placebetween 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. It aims to take stock of achievements made regarding respect forinternational humanitarian law and discuss challenges of national implementation in this field.Debates will be launched by a member of parliament, an ICRC representative and other experts.Panel discussion onHuman rights and the Universal Periodic ReviewIn March 2006, following increasing criticism of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights,the UN General Assembly established the Human Rights Council. It was precisely to avoid suchcriticism that the new Council has been entrusted with the task of undertaking a universal periodicreview of the fulfilment by each State of its human rights obligations and commitments in such away as to ensure universal coverage and equal treatment with respect to all States. The modalitiesfor this review - known as the Universal Periodic Review - were adopted by the 47 Councilmembers in June 2007.

The panel discussion, to be held from 2.30 to 4 p.m., will provide an opportunity for members ofparliament to familiarize themselves with the modalities of the UPR and to examine ways in whichparliaments can contribute to the process, and hence to the strengthening of human rights in theircountries.There will be no formal outcome of the panel discussions apart from a record of their proceedings.

They are also seeking ways to enhance often dwindling publicconfidence in parliamentarians and the institution of parliament in general. Periodic andmeaningful evaluation can be a powerful tool for ensuring that parliament performs effectively andmaintains strong and healthy relations with citizens and the executive branch of government.Drawing on tools developed by the IPU, the Association of Secretaries General of Parliament andother organizations, this one-day conference will provide a forum for discussion of differentapproaches to the evaluation of parliament, sharing of lessons learned and understanding thepotential results and impact of evaluation. The conference is intended for parliamentarians,

Secretaries General and staff involved in the future direction of parliament. By the end of the day,the intention is that each participant will be equipped with new tools to make a more effectivecontribution to the evaluation and development of their parliament.Attached is the Convocation, as well as the draft agenda, registration form and informationdocument.

Information on the Seminar will be sent out shortlyto all Members.Parliamentary Seminar on the United Nations Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and onEconomic, Social and Cultural RightsStarting with the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the UnitedNations has developed an international legal framework for the protection and promotion ofhuman rights. To date, eight international conventions exist and provide for special committees, theso-called "treaty bodies”. They oversee the implementation of the conventions and adoptrecommendations, which often require parliamentary action. Parliaments are largely unaware ofthese bodies and thus miss out on an invaluable opportunity to contribute to the effectiveness oftheir work.The seminar will provide an overview of the functioning of the work of the Human RightsCommittee and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which monitor theimplementation of the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, and on Economic,Social and Cultural Rights, respectively. It will target parliamentarians from countries whose nationalreports have been examined in 2009 or will be examined in 2010.More detailed information on the Seminar will be sent out shortly to parliaments concerned.

Delegations from countries with a Permanent Mission in Geneva are kindly requested to make theirhotel reservations through their respective Mission. The Permanent Missions in Geneva are allinformed of the holding of the 121stAssembly and are accustomed to receiving national delegationsto United Nations meetings and to handling hotel reservations for them. Many of them have signedagreements and obtained preferential rates with hotels close to the Palais des Nations area and theCICG.Delegations from countries that do not have diplomatic representation in Geneva may reserve theirrooms either via their preferred tourist operator or through the Geneva Tourism and ConventionBureau. Should delegations wish to use the services offered by the Geneva Tourism andConvention Bureau, they are kindly requested to contact the IPU Secretariat, which willsubsequently send them a hotel reservation form. However, attention is drawn to the fact that, inkeeping with the practice of all hotels in Geneva,only reservation forms returned with details ofa credit card as a guarantee will be confirmed.The hotel reservation form should be returneddirectly to the Geneva Tourism and Convention Bureau no later than7 September 2009,withcopy to the IPU Secretariat.14.VISAS
Strict regulations are in force regarding entry into Switzerland and entry is refused to persons notholding the required visa. Delegates requiring an entry visa must obtain one from the Swissconsulate or diplomatic mission in their country of residence.Since mid-December 2008, Switzerland has applied theSchengen regulationsconcerning theissuance of visas. For further information, please refer to the Informative Note on theimplementation of Schengen-Dublin available on the website of the Swiss Federal Department ofForeign Affairs:http://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/topics/intorg/un/unge/gepri/manvis/manvi2.html

Please also note that Geneva Airport is located on the Swiss-French border and also has a Frenchentry point. Some flights arriving from Paris or other French airports to Geneva are thereforeconsidered as domestic flights. Delegates travelling via France must therefore also check with thecompetent French authorities to ascertain whether a French or Schengen visa is required for travelthrough a French airport en route to Geneva.In recent years, it has been noted that more and more delegations request assistance with entryvisas for Switzerland and often such requests are sent at a very late stage. While the IPU willcontinue to assist delegates, your attention is drawn to the fact that the Swiss authorities requirethat a clear time frame be respected.Any delegations in need of assistance must therefore send their requests as soon as possible, and inany case no later thanthree weeks priorto the date of arrival. The following details should beprovided: full name, date and place of birth, nationality, type of national passport and number(date of issue and expiry), date of arrival and flight number. There is no guarantee that last-minuterequests, especially those falling over weekends when the corresponding Swiss services are closed,can be dealt with in a timely manner.Please note that, following Switzerland’s entry into the Schengen area, visas can no longer be issuedupon arrival at Geneva Airportsave for very exceptional caseswhere delegates have been unableto obtain a visa from the Swiss consulate or mission in their country of residence. The IPUSecretariat cannot be of any assistance whatsoever in such cases.*
