Therefore, and on behalf of the Chair-Rapporteur, OHCHR is hereby issuing a call for nominations of such legal experts to serve in their personal capacity...

As no financial resources are available for interpretation, the intersessional consultations will take place in English and the legal experts are therefore required to be fluent in English.
