A/HRC/10/87 page 7 the work of this specific session of the Working Group would serve to contribute to the substantive session of the Preparatory Committee for the Durban Review Conference in April 2008. 24. Another delegate stressed the relevance she attached to achieving consensus and stressed the importance of carrying on with the important work of the Working Group consistent with the scope of its mandate. She also mentioned her delegation’s willingness to move forward with the work, regardless of its reservations to the draft programme of work. 25.
