In response to a question on whether there would be a Special Session of the Human Rights Council on the situation in East Jerusalem and the Goldstone report, Ms. Ponomareva-Piquier said that as of this moment, an official request had not yet been delivered to the Council. Asked if consultations were continuing on this issue, Ms. Ponomareva-Piquier said that was correct. The Information Service would keep journalists updated via email on this issue. [It was later announced that the Human Rights Council will meet in a Special Session on Thursday, 15 October at 3 p.m. to discuss “the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and East Jerusalem”.
