Commemoration of the 15th anniversary by the General Assembly

The Economic and Social Council recommended (July 2009) that the General Assembly convene a commemorative meeting during the fifty-fourth session of the Commission in order to mark the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (ECOSOC resolution 2009/_). The General Assembly is expected to approve this recommendation in October 2009, during its sixty-fourth session. The precise date for the commemorative meeting will be determined during the informal consultations.
