Decides to establish an open-ended working group of the Human Rights Council to explore the possibility of elaborating an optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to provide a communications procedure complementary to the reporting procedure under the Convention; 2. Also decides that the working group shall hold its first session for five working days in Geneva before the end of 2009, within existing resources; 3. Further decides to invite a representative of the Committee on the Rights of the Child to attend the session of the working group as a resource person and, where appropriate, relevant United Nations special procedures and other relevant independent experts, and also invites them to submit inputs to the working group for its consideration; 4. Requests the working group to submit a report on progress made to the Council for consideration at its thirteenth session. 27th meeting 17 June 2009 [Adopted without a vote. See chap. III.]
