Last day and a half at CPD

I must admit I was a weakling , left the meeting at midnight , see opposite photo.

My colleague Wendy Wright sent me the following note on Sunday morning :
"Select ambassadors negotiated throughout the night.  At 5 a.m. the Chair released a streamlined text. Philippines began statements with a firey denunciation of the process. Others agreed. Consensus achieved. 
Nearly 2 hours of country statements.
Some bemoaned the lack of Sexual orientation.  Others clarified national sovereignty,  their laws against abortion, sex ed is under parental rights,  and denounced imposition of views.
Everyone unhappy with the process. No one claimed victory."

So all those late nights just left us with the status quo.
