Hi

The web page for the report of the high task force on the right to development can be accessed through the following resarch

http://www.ohchr.org/english/

Go to Meetings and Events, click on Working Group on the Right to Development and get here

http://www.ohchr.org/english/issues/development/groups/index.htm

Go to Documents (to the left) and end up here

http://www.ohchr.org/english/issues/development/documents.htm

Under Documents by mandate chose The open-ended Working Group on the right to development and end up here

http://ap.ohchr.org/documents/dpage_e.aspx?m=130

Chose the E (for English) in the right upper corner of the table of documents, and get the report.

Note, this is a cumbersome way to get to the document, but we often experience trouble by going straight to the final destination.

Kind regards,

B?rd A
