challenging and difficult task for all. In our view to ensure a successful OEWG process, this is crucial that all states join consensus. Substance wise, large number of paragraphs started with wording: “States recalled or agreed” which may have been perceived, as agreed, are yet nonconsensual and have to be negotiated to be resolved. Those in the text that have been symbolized as some states expressed concerns or noted, etc. ,shows evidently that these parts are still contentious and divisive.
