Abstract :

The Plenipotentiary Conference in Dubai (PP-18) adopted two recommendations regarding ITU electoral processes.
As a follow-up, the secretariat submitted document C19/13 to Council 2019, inviting the Council to provide guidance to the Secretary-General on the way forward to implement the two recommendations.
After discussion, the Council, in C19/112, "instructed the Secretary-General to take account of its discussions and prepare a report to Council-20 on the implementation of recommendations 6 and 7 made by Committee 5 at PP-18 and adopted by the conference", "noted with broad support Document C19/67 on ethical aspects of campaign activities prior to ITU plenipotentiary conferences and endorsed the basic principles contained in the draft decision annexed to the document, the text of which should be finalized at Council-20, based on further contributions by Member States."
This document was originally submitted to the 2020 session of the Council as document C20/4 but was not reviewed. It has been updated to take into account the shortened time-frame before PP-22.
