IN THE CORRIDORS

NGOs unfurled a "Conference of Commitments" banner in a hallway of the BICC during the first week of the FWCW, and on Tuesday they released their compilation of government commitments made to date. A group of NGOs have read the statements of all speakers and identified government commitments. As of Monday evening, 150 statements had been made, with 65 speakers identified as having announced commitments. NGOs have also independently evaluated their own nation's commitments, and report that, while the commitments look good on paper, in reality some do not meet NGO expectations.
