Abstract

[In a conference room at the Sendai International Center in Japan, a few hundred delegates from 187 countries have been sitting for three days, seated in alphabetical order by country. At the back of the room, tables have been set up for delegates who are identified by the group they represent (women, indigenous communities, private sector, non-governmental organization [NGO], etc.) rather than by nationality. Security staff sporting the blue shoulder patch with the United Nations insignia stand at the doors, but these open and close as people come and go. Empty chairs are available for external observers of the process so they can witness the goings-on in the negotiating room. A text scrolls over two screens on either side of the long table where the session chairperson and vice-chair are seated. Passages of text being discussed are highlighted in yellow, others are in brackets. These are the subject of the negotiation taking place in the room.]
