Désiré Sougouri, Permanent Representative of Burkina Faso, in his capacity as coordinator of the African Group, requesting an Urgent Debate to be held on the "current racially inspired human rights violations, systemic racism, police brutality and the violence against peaceful protest", during the resumed 43rd session of the Human Rights Council between 15 and 19 June 2020. The Bureau will discuss this request as a matter of urgency.
Please accept, Excellencies, the assurances of my highest consideration.
