Major Groups and civil society coalitions have written to Ambassadors Guba Aisi and Ib Peterson, as Co-facilitators to express their concern about the proposed civil society involvement in the Post-2015 Summit at the Seventieth Session of the General Assembly.
In addition to the proposed Civil Society Hearings, in their preliminary response they encouraged the Co-facilitators to include “specific opportunities and modalities for Major Groups and civil society to participate in the entire process, similar to the modalities in the High-level Political Forum (A/RES/67/290) and the Open Working Group processes.”
