I thank the witnesses for the presentation. Following on from some of the responses to other colleagues, I am interested to note that the impact of the convention would be more likely to be long term and would have symbolic and declaratory effect. I am interested in the substance of it. Mr. Moran said there is no draft text but I assume that work has been done at international level on the content and the substantive rights guaranteed in it. Can the witnesses outline some of those or the shape of that convention in some way to give us a better sense of it?
