[WSIS CS-Plenary] accreditation of Human Rights in China

[Tracey Naughton]

Milton et all,

I was thinking the same thing last night. I prepared the  
accreditation request for the Media Institute of Southern Africa,  
when I worked there. While the submission was thoughtfully and  
carefully prepared I have no doubt at all that hours more work could  
have gone into it to ensure that all details of the organisation and  
its sources of income were included. This was not a matter of non- 
disclosure, but an approach of adequate disclosure to present the  
nature of work and main income sources of the organisation. The  
submission passed through without any further interrogation, let  
alone to the extent that Human Rights in China's submission is being  
examined.

Clearly the Human Rights in China application has been singled out  
for particular and microscopic attention for political reasons.

I think it would be appropriate to formulate a statement noting that  
the level of interrogation of this 'file' is not in proportion to  
that afforded to other 'files'.
