WIPO: How our campaign helped

Brett Fitzgerald from the Federation of International Civil Servants’ Associations (FICSA), wrote to us yesterday:

On behalf of the Presidents of FICSA and the WIPO Staff Association, please accept their sincere gratitude for having run this LabourStart campaign.

As you will see from reading the statement delivered by US Ambassador Pamela Hamamota, on behalf of a group of WIPO Member States, at the Extraordinary Session of the WIPO Coordination Committee (of Member States) held on 12 September 2016, this LabourStart campaign helped to contribute to the call from a group of WIPO Member States for the release of the report of the investigation conducted by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) concerning allegations against the WIPO Director General.

FICSA has learned that the WIPO Coordination Committee (of Member States) decided at Monday’s meeting that the OIOS investigation report must be released by no later than 26 September 2016 so that WIPO Member States can have time to read the full report in preparation for the annual Assemblies of WIPO Member States which will begin on 3 October 2016.

Ambassador Hamamota’s statement delivered on behalf of a group of WIPO Member States is available at the following link: https://geneva.usmission.gov/2016/09/13/joint-statement/
