The June meeting of the 2020 ECOSOC Management Segment

The Vice-President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), H.E. Munir Akram (Pakistan) convened the June meeting of the ECOSOC Management Segment on 3 June 2020. In its resolution 72/305, the General Assembly renamed the Coordination and Management Meeting of ECOSOC as the Management Segment, to be held twice per cycle, and focus on the adoption of procedural decisions, consideration of recommendations of subsidiary bodies, as well as the introduction of reports and consideration of draft proposals submitted under relevant agenda items. Issues to be considered during this meeting include drugs and crime, food security, gender, geospatial information, human rights, nutrition and refugees.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions on holding in-person meetings at the United Nations headquarters, the June meeting of the ECOSOC Management Segment was scaled down to a one day virtual informal meeting.
