A/HRC/25/22 “Report on the implementation by the treaty bodies of the recommendations contained in the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the strengthening of the human rights treaty bodies” (HRI/MC/2013/4), and the report of the twenty-fifth meeting of the Chairpersons of treaty bodies, entitled “Implementation of human rights instruments” (A/68/334). II. Update on the intergovernmental process on treaty body strengthening 5. Further to resolution 66/254, in which the General Assembly requested that an openended intergovernmental process be launched with the aim of strengthening the treaty body system, in April 2012, the President of the General Assembly appointed Greta Gunnarsdottir, Permanent Representative of Iceland to the United Nations, and Desra Percaya, Permanent Representative of Indonesia to the United Nations, as co-facilitators of the intergovernmental process. In September 2012, the co-facilitators submitted their report on the deliberations and recommendations of the intergovernmental process (A/66/902), as requested in resolution 66/254. However, given the relatively short amount of time for Member States to deliberate and consider the numerous issues raised during the intergovernmental process, no specific recommendations for action were finalized. 6. The co-facilitators recommended that the intergovernmental process be extended to the sixty-seventh session of the General Assembly, which was endorsed in resolution 66/295. In December 2012, the President of the General Assembly re-appointed the abovementioned co-facilitators. The co-facilitators held the following consultations during the sixty-seventh session of the General Assembly: (a) Two informal meetings with Member States, on 12 February and 10 September 2013 respectively; (b) Three thematic and informal discussions, on 19 and 20 February, from 11 to 17 April and on 6 and 7 May 2013 respectively, with treaty body experts participating as resource persons; (c) Informal briefings and meetings with delegations, human rights treaty bodies and civil society, during a visit to Geneva on 18 and 19 April 2013; (d) Numerous bilateral consultations with Member States; (e) Two meetings with the chairpersons of the treaty bodies, during their annual meeting in New York, on 20 and 24 May 2013; (f) A number of videoconference meetings with human rights treaty bodies; (g) Two civil society forums, on 26 February and 22 May 2013, to provide an opportunity for civil society to contribute to the discussion on strengthening and enhancing the effective functioning of the human rights treaty body system; (h) “Informal-informals” on 11, 19, 21, 26 and 27 June, and 16, 23 and 25 July 2013 to discuss the elements for a draft resolution as an outcome of the intergovernmental process. 7. The three informal consultations with Member States, in February, April and May 2013, focused on the subjects identified in the non-exhaustive list of issues. The co-facilitators prepared a number of discussion notes and OHCHR prepared two questionand-answer papers as well as substantive papers at the request of the co-facilitators. 8.
