Everybody, let's let's start this briefing of the information.
I will immediately leave the floor to our colleague spokesperson of the Human Rights.
Ron the Gomez for some updates on the council.
Ron, do you have the floor?
Good morning, everybody at the onset.
That the Human Rights Council.
Session will not conclude today.
The session will continue.
On Monday, when we expect to.
Conclude the 43rd session and now this programme shift is due to the very long list of.
African descent and police brutality, which, as you know, concluded yesterday and that attracted about 120 speakers.
100 States and just over 20 NGOs.
Action on the draught resolutions will take place today and on Monday, so I sent you a.
Revised programme of work, which reflects what I just said.
The programme is also available on the Council website before.
I get into the scenario for action on draught resolutions maybe and we just.
Give you a short update of the programme.
For this morning at the Council and the Assembly.
Hall, So at 10:00 the Council continued its interactive discussion.
Republic, roughly at 11:00 or so, we'll start.
Speaks to technical assistance capacity.
Series of reports to be presented.
The first one is a report.
Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on the human rights situation in Afghanistan.
This will be followed by an oral update by the **** Commissioner on technical assistance in capacity.
Building in connection with.
The Sustainable Development Goals and then we'll have an update from the Board of Trustees.
For the UN Voluntary Fund for Technical Cooperation.
In the field of human rights.
And then we'll have a general debate.
On this item, which should last till shortly after 1:00.
We'll dip into the lunch hour around 1:00 or 1:30.
Break and then at 3:00 PM we'll take action.
The council will start taking action on a host of draught resolutions which have been carried over.
From the March session and.
Has been added this week, so in total there are 40 draught.
Resolutions and seven amendments.
For action today and Monday in all draught resolutions.
Can be found on the extranet and.
You have the coordinates.
If you can't find them, let me know.
I circulated that link last night, along with the list of draught proposals, but.
Indicating the order in which these draught.
Resolutions will be considered now.
Specific resolutions, I can tell you that the resolution on people of African descent and police brutality.
Tabled initially by the African group Burkina.
That is, should come up at 3:00 this.
That the voting will take place in.
Room 20, the Council Chamber.
This is because this is the only room equipped for votes of the Human Rights Council.
So this will be we'll move our action to room.
Not everyone will be accommodated I'm afraid, but we'll get as many.
Of you in as possible, so again the draught resolution.
Of the African group will be the first.
Other resolutions it's very difficult to predict.
You have been asking on other resolutions.
All I can strongly advise is that you follow our proceedings on.
Best to update you throughout.
Course on Monday and perhaps I'll just leave it there.
One more thing, Alessandra.
Course is on the the ensuing a regular session.
That is the 44th regular session.
By the President of the Council on Monday, before the current session concludes as to when that next session will take place.
Recall there is a proposal on the table to start this session on 30.
Would be the typical June session, which would effectively become the July session due to the COVID-19.
Measures, but again this is subject.
To approval by the Council.
Indeed, keep you informed of.
Those developments as well.
Rolando and I have a question from Katherine.
Just a question related to your last remark.
If the group, I mean the members don't vote in favour of a 44th session now beginning July, when will it take place?
It would it's, it's a state decision they could propose.
I mean, it could very well, just speculating.
It could be September when the next session is scheduled to take place, but.
As as I've mentioned repeatedly.
Through these briefings into you personally, you know the the whatever is of paramount.
Importance is to ensure that all delegates all.
Participants in fact are are feel.
We've taken extreme measures and these are the things that are being considered as a priority.
So I really can't tell you for the moment, but again, the proposal, again proposal is to start.
On the 30th of June to 22 July.
But again, I'll keep you informed of developments.
Thank you Rolando and Rojo.
Wants to ask you something.
Just to be clear, as we speak, there hasn't.
Been any revised draught resolution on on?
Is supposed to be considered.
Have volunteered that it's it's.
Well, it's a rather confusing procedurally speaking.
They don't need to actually table something, they have a.
Basis draught, which has been.
Tabled, but there are negotiations on that text which continue as we speak.
There could be what we refer to as oral revisions.
That is, states would use the original draught which you have.
Before you as the basis and.
They would walk you through.
That during the action on that draught.
By reciting oral revisions, but I think.
Practically speaking, the idea is to circulate something in advance to allow states to to get instructions, you know so, but for the moment, to answer you clearly we haven't seen anything yet and I.
As I do get something that is official, I'll circulate it to the masses.
I think there will be interest.
Christian, you're you're unmuted.
This has happened before with Christian that you can't.
I'm afraid you'll have to do like last time.
Directly to Orlando, which would be even more efficient.
And that was the last request for the for the for the floor.
I'm sorry for that, Christian.
So Rolando, thank you very much.
Today and keep us informed and I go now to the colleague.
From Angktad Dan Tango who has some.
Shortest announcement to do.
Standing in for my colleague.
Vacation at the moment I would like to.
That are coming up from Mankad.
PM That's the June, that's June 24th.
Report focuses on strategic battery.
It's written in response to the growing importance of electric mobility and the batteries that are designed to power it.
And then the following week, on the 29th of June, at 3:00 PM, we will launch a paper on the economic effects of COVID-19 in the tourism sector.
Media materials during the launch of these reports.
Then Katrina has a question for you.
I'd like to know if we could have the report on tourism.
Thank you for the request.
I will follow up with my colleagues who are handling this report and we will look into that.
Don't see any other question for Anktad.
So thanks Dan for for coming and briefing with the.
Yarley, are you connected?
I just want to draw your attention to our release on Monday of IT CS 2020 SME Competitiveness Outlook.
This year's report has been titled The Great Lockdown.
On Small Business and the Cycle suggests, it provides an overview and findings of how COVID-19 pandemic has impacted small and medium sized enterprises and it also provides a forecast of how the lockdown in China.
Affect international supply chains This year's report features 85 country profiles that have been especially designed to take into account the impact of the pandemic, and it also contains case studies on how ITC has worked with businesses.
In reaction to the pandemic and, and what they, what we have done to help minimise the impact.
So we're having a press conference on Monday at 2:00 PM and immediately after this briefing I'll be sharing an embargoed brief with you.
To draw your attention to that.
So as in previous years, this Decimi outlook.
Is being launched in conjunction.
With the International MSME Day on 27th of June.
And as part of this, I would also like you to invited to online broadcast on Wednesday, 24th of June, which you which will, that's the official launch of the report.
But we'll also be hearing from policy makers, business leaders, entrepreneurs on how the pandemic has affected them.
I can also send you more details on that or if not, you can also find more details on our website.
Yarley, I don't see any requests for questions for you.
Just let's wait a second, no?
Good luck for the launch.
I will now go into the other briefings just speaking about report.
Just a reminder that the Secretary General has launched today the policy brief on COVID-19 and the world of.
You've been briefed yesterday by ILO colleagues who were among the main authors of the report.
Received all the material just to remind you, but this policy brief which details the impact of the current pandemic on the.
Immediate support for at risk workers, enterprises, jobs and income to avoid closures, job losses, income decline.
Secondly, the greater focus.
On both health and economic.
Activity after lockdown is with workplaces that are safe and rights for women and population at risk.
And the third with the mobilisation for a human centred, green and sustainable inclusive recovery that harnesses the potential of new technologies to create decent jobs for all.
And I hope that you will be able to look at this brief, which contains a lot of information which are really **** on the agenda of the international debate today.
So let's go now to the next speaker, who is Elizabeth.
Brief us on the COVID-19 response and the update of WFP common services.
WFP urgently needs funding to maintain its global network of passengers and cargo services in support of the humanitarian community.
The common services budget of 965 million to maintain the air service until the end of the year is only 14% funded.
Only $178 million has so far been confirmed or advanced, and there are still $787,000,000 urgently required to sustain these essential cargo and passenger movement operation until the end of 2020.
Unless a substantial injection of funds is provided by donors by the end of the first week of July, WFP will have no choice but to ground most of its humanitarian air fleet by the end of July.
This is a response on a scale never seen before and with the pandemic showing no signs of abating, it is crucial that the response doesn't stop now when it is needed most.
The common services provided by WFP are vital in enabling the humanitarian response for the most vulnerable people in fragile and poor country.
Without the logistical support provided by these common services, global aid operation would be severely compromised.
Hospital in developing countries would not received a desperately needed medical supplies.
Health centres serving pregnant women and undernourished child would not receive life saving nutritional products for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition.
To give you an example, so far 370 passenger and cargo flights flown to destination across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
More than 2500 responders from more than 80 head organisation flown to destination where their assistance is urgently needed.
I could also tell you that enough cargo to we we provided we transported enough cargo to fill 120 jumbo jets waiting to be transported in the coming weeks.

Elizabeth, I was just wondering if you might be able to.
Elaborate a little bit on which?
Countries say in the middle.
East might be affected by the close of your transport services.
All the operation will be affected the whole operation because you need money to get to charter a flight, a plane for passenger or for medical evacuation or to transport cargo.
I know that slowly and slowly step by steps on commercial flights resume and we use them as as often as it's possible.
But there are still countries in fact like the Middle East where it's badly needed.
But I cannot give you specific details on each country.
You know that the networks is based on big, big hubs and then the cargo and passenger are transported to regional hubs and then to hundreds of destination in each, in each region of the world.
So it the whole whole system, the whole network which will suffer badly.
Wondering if you could give us an idea, a figure to which degree the needs for your flights has searched in the past months?
Especially since the many commercial.
Flights are also grounded.
This is why as I I gave you an idea of the of.
The amount of cargo for instance in the next month.
Currently, WFP has over 78,000 cubic metres of life saving cargo for over 30 organisation in the pipeline to be transported over the next six weeks and we have so far sufficient phone to deliver 56,000 cubic metre.
The demand is expected to increase as supplies comes online and current projection indicate that approximately 700,000 cubic metres of cargo will need to be delivered across the world by the end of the year.
It is therefore paramount that the critical funding gap is filled immediately.
Just a couple of quick things.
One is you mentioned that most of the humanitarian air fleet will have to shut down by the end of July.
What will still be operating and then what I?
Specifically would like to know.
Is the consequences for the people.
On the ground for people.
In in Africa, Middle East, elsewhere?
What sort of an impact will not getting this aid make for them?
As I said that most of the the the the flight, the humanitarian air fleet will be grounded by the end of July.
We hope we will not reach this situation.
I cannot give you details on what will be able to fly or not.
This is we have almost everyday updates about what is feasible, not feasible.
And I could give you more details maybe next week, but it's very, very difficult to give a precise ID of which flight would not.
But in fact, it's true that as I said, hospitals in, in developing countries in Africa where it's really badly needed in Latin America, which is the hardest hit region so far, this country and of course Middle East, Asia, all the people who need our assistance will suffer from the lack of, of assistance.
And we, we fly not only WFP staff, but UN staff, medical staff, we deliver also.
And we transport PPE with medical equipment.
We have organised the, the equipment for field hospital in, in, in Accra, for instance.
All this equipment is medical equipment.
And also medical evacuation for UN staff, for NGO, for the humanitarian community.
I cannot tell you of course if people of course it would be a very bad situation if this the people, the vulnerable people don't get this assistance.
Of course, if they don't get the nutritional support, if they don't get their food assistance.
We already preposition and we are, we maintain minimum two months of food stocks in each country where we have operation.
And we, we will continue to maintain those prepositioned food stocks.
And I hope we will can, we will be able to continue to deliver food.
But it's true that it could be dramatic for the, the, the, the, the people, the beneficiary, the people who need to get this assistance as quickly as possible.
Bonjour, Elizabeth, to see the clarity.

Go ahead, ask your question.
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, we see now the the the resume of the normal air flights to to go to.
Their normal destinations if that can help to solve this problem now.
If we, if I understand your question well, when you have a normal flight resuming, if they resume slowly passenger flights for instance or cargo flights on passenger flight, you can always use, use it for some cargo to Delhi to, to transport some cargo.
But for in some country, in some places, we do not have commercial flights so far.
So that's why this, this service, this the common services WFP provide to the humanitarian community is vital.
And we provide this network, this service for all UN organisation NGOs we need to and and we transport medical equipment from Ford, WHO for instance.
How many people are going to be affected?
Do you have that estimate?
No, I cannot give you this is the kind of projection we cannot, we cannot do precisely.
And it depends, we, we will continue as long as we can with the money we have so far.
And but we, we just warning that if money is not coming into the pipeline very quickly, we will have problem to deliver this badly needed assistance.
Thank you very much, Elizabeth.
Let's hope that your call.
Will be listened quickly.
Thank you very much, Alessandra, and good morning to everyone.
I have a short briefing from Syria.
The United Nations today called on all parties to the conflict.
For students travelling to government areas to sit their final **** school examinations.
Up to 23,000 students, mostly from the North East but also from the Northwest, are expected to travel across conflict lines to government areas.
To sit the exams which are scheduled to.
Begin in just two days on the 21st of June, they will join some 250,000 students across the country sitting these examinations.
In a statement today, the.
UN resident and humanitarian coordinator.
For Syria, Imran Risa and the regional coordinator Kevin Kennedy say that, according to reports.
Members of non state armed groups have denied dozens of students safe transit through checkpoints in Italy and Aleppo Co of Emirates while on their way.
Other reports indicate that elsewhere in the country, including in a raka cabana red.
Students have been subject to.
Harassment and intimidation in Syria, children already face a raft of challenges to stay in school, including.
Displacement, Ongoing hostilities.
And widespread poverty, COVID-19 pandemic has further disrupted.
Children in Syria, wherever they may live, have the right to finish and complete their education, including through national examinations.
Fundamental and transformative milestone.
Any interference to education is.
The UN in Syria and our education partners are.
Supporting A protective environment for.
Students sitting exams across the country.
This includes support to safe accommodation and examination centres and for measures to mitigate possible transmission.
Jens, do we have any question?
You don't have to accept.
Going to be unmuted because.
Still your mic is still of yes.
It it's actually not for Yens.
I thought that before you get into awho, which will probably excite a lot of people, that I have a quick question for.
Who's representing UNHCR?
Let me see if there is any question for yens anybody would like to ask.
To yens about the serious students, well, I don't see any, so ask your question to.
Yes, I've got a couple of questions regarding tomorrow, which is World Refugee Day.
And I was wondering whether there were any particular events, activities occurring on the day.
And most particularly, do you have some kind of a message to send out in this year which is maybe worse than previous years when?
Refugee Day has come around because of the COVID-19 pandemic and.
Whether this is factoring into?
Your observation in in any way what what is happening?
And, and if you could just quickly remind us where most of the refugees are.
Yes, Thank you, Lisandra.
Is the World Refugee Day.
A day that we commemorate to make the world realise what's wrong with us overall in the humidity.
You saw our statement yesterday where we conveyed that 1% of the humanity globally is displaced.
It's a point of concerned, it's shocking, it's not a single digit.
It's about the consequences of an individual lives.
And majority of those displaced are inside their country, where all of us as humanitarians, we try to reach them, to help them, and 26 million of them.
Our messages to the world.
You may have seen the statement that UN **** Commissioner for Refugees Filippo.
Grandi made to the security.
Council yesterday trying to convey you you.
He had a message for them on behalf of the all humanitarians who deal with displacement situations, who deal with the consequences of war, conflict and persecution, that we follow your proceedings, your debates with.
Worry and what we expect or what the world.
From a forum like Security Council that has the power to broker peace is is to do that.
Service to the humanity if we are able to broker fees.
As as it was presented in the numbers.
8% of the world's 26,000,000 refugees, in that they come from five countries.
Highlighted that situation.
We're talking about Syria, we're talking about Venezuela, we're talking about Afghanistan.
We have South Sudan over there as well, and Myanmar.
To see some serious effort in terms of moving forward the peace, peace process and and see some results for the world refugees who are longing to go back home.
And as also mentioned that the refugee or displacement phenomena now is not a temporary phenomena at all.
Think about our one refugees, 40 years that they have been facing the consequence of conflict and war and it hasn't ended yet.
On the the day itself, Yes, many events virtual in the field where displaced and refugee populations are.
If you want, we can share with you a list of what is happening.
Also linked with that in terms of the day, there's a statement this morning that **** Commissioner Grandy has issued and that statement asks all of us to act, which the highlight is one small action can make a difference.
All of us count and and the underlining messages of understanding what makes refugees, what are the factors that make people flee.
Thank you very much, Barbara.
And yes, maybe it would be useful if you could share this with the journalist.
And I take the opportunity to also remind you that the Secretary General of the UN has also issued a message on World Refugee Day that we have sent to you in which he pledged, He actually says that the world has to pledge to do.
To end the conflict and persecution that drive the appalling numbers that Babar has referred to, we must all work to re establish the integrity of international refugee protection regime, says the Secretary General, and to implement the pledges made at the Global Refugee Forum so that refugees and host communities receive the support they need.
Resourcefulness and determination to rebuild their own lives and improve the lives of those.
Today and every day with standing unity and solidarity with the refugees and recognise our fundamental obligation to shelter those fleeing war and.
You have a follow up and then we will go to Fidela who has been patiently waiting.
Yeah, it's it's actually for you.
I was wondering the message that you read from.
Have you sent it to us and has he actually sent mentioned this on videotape is that?
That has been released under embargo on Wednesday to all of you, including the links to the video message.
And obviously the embargo has now been lifted, otherwise I wouldn't have had it, but we can send it to you again if you wish.
It has been sent to you by by e-mail with all the links to all the languages we have.
Please would you resend it?
We're we're definitely do.
Fidela, thank you very much.
You have one announcement and 1 briefing item.
Just to maybe, I'm sure that Lisa is aware that we have a press.
Conference today at 5:00 with.
The Doctor, Ted Ross, but he would be joined by Mr Filippo Grandi, United Nation **** Commissioner for Refugees, at our regular COVID-19 press conferences, so the time is set for.
PM today but if there is any change in the timing we will let you know.
This is in the lead up to where the refugee day of tomorrow.
It will be important for both organisation and both principles to reiterate.
Together to strengthen and advance public health services for the millions of forcibly displaced people around the world.
At the regular COVID-19 presser, they will be joined by two people.
One is will be joining us from Ethiopia.
He is the disease surveillance officer and designated as Regional Technical Support team coordinator for COVID in Ethiopia.
But looking at the situation in the in the region and also by The Who representative based in Lebanon, doctor.
I am sure she will be briefing about the situation of refugee in, in, in Lebanon and around Lebanon.
So we send you the invitation this morning.
So it's a joint effort by WTO and UNFCR to brief on our joint work to help refugee in this times of pandemic.
The second item today is to brief you about the situation of Ebola in Ecuador province.
As you may know, we are now facing a new outbreak of Ebola in Ecuador province since the 1st of July.
I wanted to give you the latest information and my notes are all written.
So as soon as I finish, I will send them to you.
So don't worry about the name of zones and, and the information that and the, the numbers, etcetera.
So I will send you everything at the end of this briefing.
Building on lessons learned in previous outbreaks.
W2 Supporting health authorities to conduct ring vaccinations.
With people at **** risk of.
Ebola 9200 vaccine doses arrived in Kinshasa from Geneva on 17 June 4600.
Of these, vaccine doses will be arriving in the epicentre of the current outbreak in Mondava.
Sorry, Bond, DACA at the end of the week, hopefully by tomorrow.
This kind of vaccination effort has been effective in controlling as you know, the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC.
We have the Ebola outbreak in Ecuador province in the.
Part of DRC is now affecting 5 health zone and with the support of WHO, vaccination is taking place in these zones.
WHO has around 50 experts on the ground.
Of health and partners responding to the outbreak in the equator province an additional.
Deployed from North Kibu to.
And arrived at the beginning of this week.
While the new Ebola outbreak in Bondaka represents a challenge, it is one that we we are ready to tackle.
With each each experience, we respond faster and more effectively and this is what we are seeing happening now.
For example, the outbreak was declared on 1st of June and four days later the Ministry of Health together with W12 partners had started vaccinating **** risk people in the region.
If you remember two years ago when we had the outbreak in the eastern part of the country, it took us almost two weeks to start vaccination, just to give you the latest.
Number I have, they haven't.
Changed As of 17 June, we have 18 cases of Ebola in Ecuador province.
15 are confirmed, three are probable 12 deaths.
We are following some 1660 contacts and for as of.
Treatment we have 1 confirmed.
Case who is hospitalised in an ebola treatment centre in Mongata and two confirmed cases patient are in the General Hospital in Bulamba So what I can add is the I.
I got a question from a journalist if this outbreak in in in Ecuador is different from the one in eastern part of the country.
Ebola is a complex disease, so we cannot make really comparison between two outbreak of Ebola.
Every Ebola outbreak is unique, as we saw in eastern DRC, where communities in the same region can still react quite differently.
In North Kivu, we had a lot of challenges, for example, in terms of security and community resistance.
We in the Bondaka area, we do not have the same security challenges we are facing in the eastern part of the country.
The population is very mobile like in eastern DRC as Bondaka is a trading hub on the Congo.
So I will send you more information about this outbreak because I think it's also.
For you to follow all the health issues we are facing, not only COVID, but we have other urgent matters.
Thank you very much, Fidela I.
Thank you, Fidela for coming.
I mean, I I would prefer that you.
Save your question to this.
Will have Doctor Tedros, Mr.
Brand, Brandy, Maria and Mike and I think this is the natural place to ask your question, but if you need an answer.
Just tell me and I will make sure you receive an answer when I finish this briefing.
Only to know in which countries are you observing a second wave of of cases of this COVID-19?
And yeah, it's it's only that.
If, if you can, yeah, let me check.
I don't, I don't think we will have a straight answer because.
Every country is different.
But let me check with our expert and I will send you a written answer.
Don't see any other requests for the floor.
I'll leave the moment, yes.
Damil, I think you have to be unmuted still.
Just first of all, thank you.
We hope this will continue for the next couple of years or maybe more, but just to make it clear that we really appreciate when you're back because we need to get some answers to some of the issues.
My question is again on COVID, if you can either answer now or by e-mail.
Yesterday night, President Bolsonaro said the person that understands the least on science is WHO He did that in a live with some millions of viewers.
My question, do you what is your take on attacks like this that are happening in a very frequent way?
That's really a question.
For this afternoon, it's a question for this afternoon.
And maybe just as a general statement, our focus really is to respond to this pandemic.
But I will revert back to you, Jamie.
Thank you for the question, Stephanie.
Whether it's, you know, sort of a factual question, really, perhaps you have this information.
You know, they, according to preliminary studies, they by this Beijing virus, this latest outbreak in Beijing.
They've identified a European strain.
Based on their preliminary studies, do you first of all have the?
Chinese shared that data that they say they have shared with WHO?
And secondly, you know, does WHO concur with that preliminary assessment that it's a?
Yes, I know about about this study.
I heard about it in the news, but I haven't get a chance to ask our experts.
Opportunity for me to get you an answer.
At the end of this briefing or if not, you can also ask it this afternoon, but I saw the information, but I don't have handy now the answer for you.
Thank you Stephanie, thank you to you Fidela, thanks for having come as Jasmine said, we are really appreciate your presence here so that oh.
Stephanie, you have a follow up.
Thank you, Fidela for that.
I appreciate your following up.
I did submit a question and, you know, by e-mail.
Can see if that's landed.
Anywhere that might get a response before the the briefing in six hours.
This leaves me with a few quick announcements.
First of all, housekeeping for next week.
This is much of A an information to you journalist.
As for my colleagues, as we have discussed in the past, we're now going slowly back to the parle.
Will have a hybrid press.
Briefing on Tuesday morning and Friday morning.
This concerns not only you as journalists.
But also the colleagues, spokesperson, some of us.
Will be on the screen yet still.
For what concerns the attendance?
We will use the same rules that we've been using for the press conference today.
As you know, the the room can take a limited number of physical presence, so we will have a certain number of journalists coming in if by chance we had to accommodate more than the number of people agreed, according to the calculation.
Of our colleagues who are.
Dealing with this issues.
The colleagues who arrive late to follow the briefing at a distance but don't think we will get there hopefully, but you will be able to both brief and listen on the virtual platform at the same time that we have the personal, the in person presence of the palette.
And that will be the format.
For the next briefings and then we will re evaluate the situation maybe in a couple of weeks.
So this is the first thing I wanted to tell you.
Second thing, please don't forget the other press conference that we have announced, which is the ILO virtual conference, press conference on Wednesday, 24th of June and nine O clock.
And that's going to be on the impact of COVID-19 on migrant workers.
As I said, it's going to be virtual, 100% virtual.
There is a long list of speakers.
Otherwise, for any question, please don't hesitate to ask Rosalind.
Remind you that tomorrow is World Refugee Day, as we said, but today is an important day, the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict.
And on the 21st of June, Sunday, the international community will commemorate International Day of Yoga and International Day of the Celebration of the Solstice.
The last issue, the last announcement I wanted to give you is that as you may have already heard, the next formal plenary meeting of the 2020 session of the Conference on Disarmament is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 23rd June from 12:50 and then in the afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00 in Room 19.
So this will also be in loco at the Paladinacion under the Presidency of Ambassador Robert Mueller of Austria during the 2020 session.
As you may remember, Bangladesh and Belarus are also planned to hold the presidency of the conference.
So these are the announcements I wanted to leave you with.
And if there is no other question from our colleagues and I don't see any, I'm left to tell you.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday.
