The ICJ joined the International Movement ATD Fourth World and others in supporting the final version of the draft guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights.
During the 21st regular session of the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Ms Maria Magdalena Sepulveda Carmona, presented the final version of her draft guiding principles on extreme poverty and human rights.
In an interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur, on 12 September 2012, the ICJ joined a statement by almost 20 non-governmental organisations from throughout the world. The statement describes the draft guidelines as extremely important and calls on the Human Rights Council to adopt them.
