This will be a great opportunity for civil society colleagues, human rights experts and diplomats to meet and greet the new President and Vice-Presidents of the world's peak human rights body in a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, we will farewell former President Choi Kyonglim, and his bureau.

And for our friends who won’t be in Geneva that night, we would love to hear your thoughts about what the Human Rights Council's priorities for 2017 should be. Feel free to share them on Twitter using #HRC2017 and we'll share a selection with the President.
