Ref.:  (LML) Report HRC

 

From:  Alice Cruz, Quito, Ecuador

 

Dear Friends and partners,

 

I have the honour to address you in my capacity as Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 44/6. 

I would like to inform you that that my forthcoming report to the 75th session of the General Assembly will consider issues related to efforts invested to eliminate obsolete discriminatory laws and costumary norms against persons affected by leprosy and their family members.

Accordingly, I am seeking the views and inputs of Members and observer States, National Human Rights Institutions, United Nations agencies, international and regional organizations, and civil society, including non-governmental organizations and other relevant stakeholders. You are strongly encouraged to share the questionnaire with your national or regional branches and partners. The questionnaire is also available on the website of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. (https://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Leprosy/Pages/LeprosyIndex.aspx)

Please take part in this consultation and submit the completed questionnaire, which will substantively inform the forthcoming report, in any of English, French or Spanish srleprosy@ohchr.org no later than 10 May 2021, using the email title: "Submissions to the Questionnaire." Please clearly indicate your affiliation. Where possible please limit the response to the questionnaire to 1500 words. Supporting documents can be attached. Should you need any further information or clarification to this end, please do not hesitate to contact us by email.
