Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Work of Front Line Defenders in Afghanistan: Discussion
Mr. Andrew Anderson:
I will add in follow-up to the video that we have had good discussions with the Department of Foreign Affairs regarding prioritising Colombia in the context of Ireland's membership of the UN Security Council. We are keen to go further in terms of what that can mean. Having an Arria-formula meeting is a way of bringing in the voices of human rights defenders, which is important, and consistent with Ireland's long-standing commitment to bringing in civil society and its work at the UN.
