The Secretary-General presented a report on the activities of the IPU since the 186th session of the Governing Council. He also presented a report on the annual reporting exercise of IPU members. It was noted that fewer than 50 Members had fulfilled their statutory obligation to submit annual reports on how their parliaments had followed up and implemented recommendations of the three resolutions adopted at the 120th Assembly, namely: advancing nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, and securing the entry into force of the comprehensive Nuclear- Test-Ban Treaty; climate change, sustainable development models and renewable energies and freedom of expression and the right to information.
