Letter from Stephen Barris:

Dear all,

The statement on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity is likely to be read Thursday December 18th.

It is impossible at this stage to know at which time it will be given as the agenda depends on the debates that may occur prior to the statement (on a wide range of subjects).

If you want to watch it live, we suggest you

- Open http://www.un.org/webcast/
Select the General Assembly picture below the screen

- Print the agenda

http://www.un.org/ga/third/63/ac363infdoc.pdf

look for agenda item 64(b)

- Follow the webcast regularly to get an idea when the declaration, the counter resolution and a possible debate take place

You can also come back to the site the following days and look for agenda item 64(b) in the archived video for Dec 18

Thanks to Vanessa Jackson from ISHR, International Service for Human Rights for the information.
