Outcomes of resolutions on revitalization

In accordance with resolution on revitalization, the Co-Chairs of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the revitalization of the work of the General Assembly, assisted by the Secretariat, prepare the inventory chart for consideration by Member States. The inventory chart reflects the progress achieved. The Co-Chairs, assisted by the Secretariat, obtained updated information, where possible, from relevant entities responsible for implementation. The chart is included as an annex to the reports of the AHWG, which can be found here.

The inventory chart has a two-part structure: the first part contains unimplemented provisions, in order to focus on their follow-up; and the second part contains implemented provisions, both those that required one-time action and those to be implemented on an ongoing basis, in order to keep track of previous achievements and provide the means to compare with and learn from past experience.
