Officers Maurice Biggar and Eoin Duggan, and on December 20
to First Secretary Sean O'Regan, Deputy Director for Human
Rights at the DFA. O'Regan said that Ireland supports the UN
Human rights resolutions in the UNGA plenary. Following the
lead of the EU presidency, which, on December 8, encouraged
member states to lobby for support, the GOI asked its
embassies worldwide to lobby countries that voted no or
abstained, to support the resolutions. O'Regan also said
that the GOI is not pleased with the use of no action
motions, and that Ireland is doing all it can to garner
support, but is limited by its low number of worldwide
missions.
