The Third Committee of the General Assembly at its seventy-seventh session, is chaired by His Excellency José Alfonso Blanco Conde of the Dominican Republic.
The General Assembly allocates to the Third Committee, agenda items relating to a range of social, humanitarian affairs and human rights issues that affect people all over the world.
As in previous sessions, an important part of the work of the Committee will focus on the examination of human rights questions, including reports of the special procedures of the Human Rights Council which was established in 2006. In October 2022, the Committee will hear and interact with special rapporteurs, independent experts, and chairs of working groups as mandated by the Human Rights Council.
The Committee also discusses questions relating to the advancement of women, the protection of children, indigenous issues, the treatment of refugees, the promotion of fundamental freedoms through the elimination of racism and racial discrimination, and the right to self- determination. The Committee also addresses important social development questions such as issues related to youth, family, ageing, persons with disabilities, crime prevention, criminal justice, and international drug control.
At the seventy-sixth session of the General Assembly, the Third Committee considered 62 draft resolutions, more than half of which were submitted under the human rights agenda item alone.
The Third Committee is expected to consider a similar number of draft resolutions during the present session of the General Assembly.
