The first substantive meeting of the "third track" of the Global Consultations (8-9 March 2001) engendered a number of conclusions and recommendations that lend themselves to follow up action by States, UNHCR NGOs and other organizations. Some issues will, of course, require more discussion before appropriate follow-up action can be determined. This note summarizes potential key follow-up actions under the first and should be read in conjunction with the draft report of the meeting (EC/GC/01/8) and the Chairman's Summary, both of which describe all of the main conclusions. To be effective, follow-up will require committed action by all stakeholders- especially States, but also NGOs, UNHCR, the wider UN family and others. UNHCR invites States, NGOs and other stakeholders to indicate areas where they would like to initiate or participate in follow up action in cooperation with UNHCR and to suggest additional follow-up actions.
