The resolution – which was co-sponsored by the EU and supported by Korea, Japan, some Latin American and Eastern European countries – elicited strong opposition from a number of countries. After prolonged debate, the UNCHR voted to postpone further discussion on the resolution to the 60^th Session in 2004. In 2004 during the 60^th Session the CHR moved to defer consideration of the resolution without discussion or a vote until the Commission’s 61^st session in 2005, after a cross-regional consensus to do so was reached. 

ILGA-Europe has been supporting the Brazilian Resolution by ensuring that the EU states support the Resolution. Further, it lobbies for its inclusion in the resolution on the EU rights priorities and recommendation to the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva.
