Summary of work
Background (source: A/76/100)
At its seventy-first session, the Assembly, under the item entitled “Report of the International Law Commission on the work of its sixty-eighth session”, decided to include in the provisional agenda of its seventy-third session an item entitled “Protection of persons in the event of disasters”. The Assembly invited Governments to submit comments concerning the recommendation by the Commission to elaborate a convention on the basis of the draft articles on the protection of persons in the event of disasters presented by the Commission (resolution 71/141).
At its seventy-third session, the Assembly decided to include the item in the provisional agenda of its seventy-fifth session (resolution 73/209).
At its seventy-fifth session, the Assembly allocated the item to the Sixth Committee, where statements in the debate were made by 29 delegations (see A/C.6/75/SR.17–19). The Assembly decided to defer the consideration of the agenda item to the seventy-sixth session of the Assembly (decision 75/526).
