class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The UN Human Rights Council\u2019s 62nd session<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Human Rights Council (HRC) is a subsidiary body of the UN General Assembly tasked with promoting universal respect for, and protection of, human rights and fundamental freedoms. The 62nd session of the HRC, which concluded in Geneva on July 8, essentially maintained the ideological course familiar from previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proceedings addressed in detail numerous cases of human rights violations in countries such as Sudan and Eritrea, but also took up human-rights issues relating to the current situation in our region \u2014 in Ukraine, Belarus, and Germany. The reports and discussions presented were replete with ideological content related to gender, invoked \u201creproductive and sexual rights\u201d on every occasion, and, as has become traditional, again presented abortion as an almost indispensable service \u2014 this time for \u201cpreventing\u201d teenage pregnancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growing engagement of the Ordo Iuris Institute at the UN nonetheless makes sense and is bearing real fruit: among the numerous documents discussed during the session was also <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/analyses\/the-motherhood-penalty-a-un-report-on-violence-against-mothers\/\">a report devoted entirely to violence and discrimination against mothers<\/a>, which took into account the position submitted earlier by the Ordo Iuris Institute in the course of international consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the sheer volume of material, it is not possible in such a brief summary to discuss, even briefly, every topic raised during the session, or to present all the most interesting threads that emerged in the course of the discussions \u2014 I have therefore chosen to select only a few threads that, in my view, are most significant from Poland\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should also be noted that, because the session closed only a few days ago, the full texts of the adopted resolutions are not yet available. The resolutions and decisions adopted during the session will be published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/hr-bodies\/hrc\/regular-sessions\/session62\/res-dec-stat\">on the UN Human Rights Council\u2019s website<\/a> only once all the documents have been finalized, translated, and published in all six UN languages. This commentary therefore refers primarily to the reports prepared and presented at the recent session, and to the proceedings themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genocide awaiting a resolution<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although agenda item seven formally concerned the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories, no report was presented under that item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subject of the Middle East nonetheless arose during the session under agenda item two, when the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel presented its fifth report on events since October 7, 2023 (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/22\">A\/HRC\/62\/22<\/a>). This year the Commission described in detail the violence committed by non-state actors \u2014 that is, Israeli settlers and Palestinian armed groups \u2014 while firmly reiterating its own finding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An additional document devoted to the situation of Palestinian children goes even further, finding that Israeli authorities and security forces \u201ccontinue to commit the crime of genocide,\u201d crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/a-hrc-62-crp-2.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/CRP.2<\/a> \u2014 point M, para. 331).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be remembered that the above are \u201conly\u201d the Commission\u2019s findings, and although the Commission presented its position during the session, among the 28 adopted resolutions one looks in vain for a document that directly addresses Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it is worth emphasizing that the Commission did not present a one-sided picture of the conflict: the report notes Hamas\u2019s violence against those accused of collaboration (249 cases, at least 108 fatalities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary-General\u2019s recurring report on the prevention of genocide likewise makes no mention of Palestine, but for a different reason: the report was simply not completed on time. As explained in a note from the Secretariat (A\/HRC\/62\/27), owing to \u201cfinancial constraints\u201d facing the UN, its preparation was postponed to the 63rd session. The topic of the UN\u2019s budget crisis in fact came up repeatedly during the session, with rapporteurs citing lack of funding as the reason certain reports were never produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Human Rights Council\u2019s constant themes: gender and abortion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Graeme Reid, presented two reports: one on his visit to Colombia (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/46\/Add.1\">A\/HRC\/62\/46\/Add.1<\/a>) and another on violence against \u201clesbian, bisexual, and queer persons\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/46\">A\/HRC\/62\/46<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the report on violence, Reid adopts an \u201cinclusive\u201d definition of womanhood \u2014 one that also encompasses so-called \u201ctransgender women\u201d \u2014 and notes that, among more than 200 submissions received, a \u201climited number\u201d argued for defining women solely on the basis of biological sex. Some progress in the Independent Expert\u2019s work should be acknowledged: unlike in earlier reports, submissions that did not align with the ideological line presented by the author were not simply discarded as \u201chate speech,\u201d and their full publication has been announced. We wrote about Mr. Reid\u2019s ideological bent, among other places, in a piece published last June, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/komentarz\/niezalezny-ekspert-onz-o-wizycie-w-polsce-czyli-swiat-oczami-ideologa\/\">An Independent UN Expert on His Visit to Poland: The World Through an Ideologue\u2019s Eyes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The High Commissioner for Human Rights, meanwhile, presented the Human Rights Council with a report on preventing teenage pregnancy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-62-aev.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/62<\/a>). Unfortunately, this document, like the WHO guidelines on the same subject, essentially reduces the problem to two issues: contraception and abortion. One looks in vain in the High Commissioner\u2019s report for any encouragement of abstinence or the promotion of stable relationships \u2014 even though these, alongside sound education, are the most effective ways to reduce the number of early pregnancies. Instead, the report calls for abolishing the requirement of third-party consent (in practice, parental consent) for minors\u2019 access to \u201csexual and reproductive services,\u201d as well as for decriminalizing abortion and sexual activity between minor \u201cpeers.\u201d In doing so it invokes the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which found that denying a girl information about abortion exposes her to serious risk to her life and health. The right to life is perversely invoked here as an argument in favor of taking another human life \u2014 even though this is not about cases in which saving one life genuinely requires sacrificing another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth recalling at this point that, at the level of binding international law, <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/informacje-prasowe\/dlaczego-dostep-do-aborcji-nie-jest-prawem-czlowieka\/\">there is no such thing as a \u201cright to abortion\u201d as a human right<\/a>, and the first and most fundamental human right remains the right to life. The High Commissioner\u2019s report \u2014 like any other \u2014 cannot change this legal reality; its content is a classic example of soft law, that is, a document designed <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/comments\/the-un-and-abortion-how-concessions-turn-into-permanent-international-pressure\/\">to lay the groundwork for future binding standards<\/a>, even though it carries no legal force of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the High Commissioner noted in the report that some donors make funding for organizations supporting \u201csexual and reproductive health\u201d conditional on the recipient organizations not being entities that \u201cpromote abortion\u201d (cf. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-62-aev.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/62<\/a> \u2014 para. 42).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that this mechanism exists \u2014 and that its scale is significant \u2014 is of course welcome. It is worth noting, however, that the same mechanism working in the opposite direction \u2014 that is, when pro-life organizations are excluded from funding for not sharing donors\u2019 ideology \u2014 has never triggered the same level of alarm or been noted in UN reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The UN defends motherhood alongside the Ordo Iuris Institute<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ordo Iuris Institute\u2019s intensified engagement at the UN bore fruit this year: its position was reflected in the report by Reem Alsalem, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls. The report \u201cViolence Against Mothers\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-49-aev.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/49<\/a>) is the first document in UN history devoted entirely to this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alsalem, following Ordo Iuris, points in the report to the need for greater social and legal recognition of motherhood. Drawing on 167 submissions, including 24 from states, she describes motherhood as a category requiring distinct legal protection, rooted in biological \u2014 not merely social \u2014 differences between women and men. The Special Rapporteur speaks explicitly of the \u201cprofound biological changes\u201d that accompany pregnancy and childbirth, including hormonal and neurological changes with lasting effects on mothers\u2019 mental health, as well as of the economic marginalization of women that follows from the simple fact of becoming a mother (the so-called \u201cmotherhood penalty\u201d). The report shows that lower wages, limited opportunities for advancement, and systemic employment discrimination \u2014 which affect women regardless of how well they perform their professional duties \u2014 are common problems that know no national borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the sources the Special Rapporteur cites is the Ordo Iuris Institute\u2019s position that motherhood \u201cremains largely undervalued and mistakenly portrayed as a private choice rather than a public good requiring recognition and support.\u201d A detailed analysis of the entire document <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/analyses\/the-motherhood-penalty-a-un-report-on-violence-against-mothers\/\">is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the widespread tolerance within the Human Rights Council for the ideologization of human rights, and the political correctness that often pervades the debate, Alsalem\u2019s bold words deserve recognition \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/komentarz\/czystka-etniczna-czy-konflikt-najwazniejsze-punkty-59-sesji-rady-praw-czlowieka-onz\/\">a year ago<\/a> she was not afraid to boldly call for a return to defining the English term \u201csex\u201d as a biological category \u2014 a dichotomous distinction between women and men based on gametes and biotechnical characteristics, in line with classical biological definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year Alsalem went a step further, addressing the replacement of words such as \u201cwoman\u201d or \u201cmother\u201d with gender-neutral terminology. She noted that attempts to preserve existing terms are sometimes stigmatized as \u201cexclusionary,\u201d while terms such as \u201cbirth givers\u201d or \u201cgestational carriers\u201d are gaining popularity. She also drew attention to the bizarre situations in which people who oppose these linguistic changes, including lactation consultants, \u201care demonized or excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it should be noted that Alsalem\u2019s report introduced a seemingly small, but nonetheless important, change to the debate. To the concept of \u201creproductive violence\u201d \u2014 usually reserved solely for the denial of access to abortion \u2014 Alsalem also added the coercion of women into abortion. What is more, this coercion also includes abortions carried out through (familiar to us in Poland) \u201cpostal\u201d or telemedicine schemes, conducted without medical supervision and without the woman\u2019s knowledge. The Special Rapporteur placed these abortions in the context of domestic violence and human trafficking. The Institute has written many times about the health risks associated with abortion, particularly in attempts to end the life of a conceived child pharmacologically without contact with a doctor \u2014 including in the context of the removal of the requirement for strict medical supervision of mifepristone, which the WHO adopted in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A separate category of \u201creproductive violence\u201d also arises in connection with surrogate mothers (surrogacy): it includes, among other things, forced abortion \u201cat the request of the commissioning parents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also worth mentioning that Reem Alsalem took part in early June in an international conference on motherhood, organized in Warsaw by the Ordo Iuris Institute, where she spoke specifically on the subject of surrogacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Child marriage won\u2019t disappear for another 300 years<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the resolutions adopted by the Council, one cannot fail to mention the resolution on child marriage, adopted without a vote (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/hr-bodies\/hrc\/regular-sessions\/session62\/list-reports\">A\/HRC\/62\/L.24\/Rev.1<\/a>), based on earlier guidelines from the Office of the High Commissioner (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/26\">A\/HRC\/62\/26<\/a>). It is worth noting that four amendments were rejected in the vote \u2014 meaning that the adoption of the resolution as a whole does not signify a consensus among states regarding the Council\u2019s position on child marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key to the issue are the data from the report underlying the resolution. 12 million girls marry each year before reaching the age of majority, and among living women, 650 million did so before the age of 18. The report indicates that, at the current pace of change, eliminating this practice will take another 300 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antonio Mellado \u2014 advocacy director of the Geneva office of the Global Center for Human Rights \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/comments\/the-geneva-trap-why-poland-must-answer-for-a-un-resolution-it-helped-write\/\">warned already at the beginning of the month on the Ordo Iuris Institute\u2019s website<\/a> that pro-abortion and gender-related language had also been smuggled into the draft of this resolution, co-authored by Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Belarus and the Poles<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Poland\u2019s perspective, the report of the Special Rapporteur on Belarus, Nils Mui\u017enieks (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/52\">A\/HRC\/62\/52<\/a>), is also significant. The Rapporteur warns of systemic pressure on the Polish national minority. Polish associations have been dissolved, the website of the Union of Poles in Belarus was declared \u201cextremist,\u201d and leaders \u2014 including Andrzej Poczobut, a journalist and laureate of the Sakharov Prize \u2014 were imprisoned on political charges until his release on April 28, 2026. Holders of the Karta Polaka (Pole\u2019s Card) are increasingly treated as disloyal to the state, and the teaching of the Polish language has been eliminated from independent educational initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mui\u017enieks notes that Belarus remains the only country in Europe still applying the death penalty. Although more than 150 political prisoners were released in 2025, with a further 250 released in March 2026, this was accompanied by forced deportation. Such action should be regarded not so much as an improvement, but rather as the exchange of one form of repression for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Russification of Ukraine<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council, the Secretary-General\u2019s fourteenth report on the human rights situation in the occupied territories of Ukraine was also presented (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.un.org\/en\/A\/HRC\/62\/59\">A\/HRC\/62\/59<\/a>). The document points to the systematic violation of international law by Russia, which is treated as an occupying power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary-General emphasized that, since October 2025, men aged 18 to 30 have been receiving digital conscription summonses, and a December decree turned what had been six-month conscription campaigns into a continuous process \u2014 despite the prohibition on compelling the population of occupied territory to serve in the occupying army. At least 5,557 properties deemed \u201cabandoned\u201d have been confiscated, and in Donetsk Oblast water rationing has been introduced, with water available for only a few hours, no more than once every three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia is also working intensively on the Russification of the occupied Ukrainian territories. Already 85,000 children have taken part in camps involving indoctrination and military training, and \u201cpatriotic-military\u201d competitions are also being organized. In December 2025, the Ukrainian language was removed from the list of languages taught in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary-General also referred to the activities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bringkidsback.org.ua\/en\/about\">Bring Kids Back<\/a>, an initiative of President Zelensky that has been operating since 2023 and focuses on \u201cbringing home every child abducted by Russia \u2014 unconditionally and without exception.\u201d According to the report\u2019s data, a total of 1,972 children have returned to Ukraine. In December 2025, only seven children returned home, while the Bring Kids Back website itself states that as many as \u201c1.6 million Ukrainian children remain under Russian control \u2014 deported, forcibly displaced, or detained in temporarily occupied territories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Germany and its problems with freedom of speech<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the perspective of a neighboring state, the report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, Irene Khan, following her visit to Germany (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-67-add-1-auv.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/67\/Add.1<\/a>), is also worth noting. Khan describes German freedom of speech as \u201ccaught in the eye of a storm\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-67-add-1-auv.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/67\/Add.1<\/a> \u2014 para. 8). This conclusion follows from the observed growing polarization, rising antisemitism and Islamophobia, and the increasingly frequent recourse to criminal law to restrict freedom of speech. She also notes that the 2025 elections \u201cdramatically reshaped\u201d the political scene: the AfD (Alternative for Germany), despite its \u201cexclusionary\u201d rhetoric, doubled its support and became the second-strongest political force in the country. This correlates with the intensified use of legal tools (criminal law) against people \u201cabusing\u201d freedom of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned about the punishment in Germany of expressions of solidarity with Palestine, which are classified as \u201cincitement to violence.\u201d She also notes that the legally non-binding IHRA definition of antisemitism (that is, the working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) \u201chas a profound impact\u201d on freedom of expression in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scale of the problem in Germany is illustrated by the very fact that a UN mandate holder diagnoses the problem so directly as lying in the German government\u2019s own mechanism for restricting freedom of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No reflection on the question of migrants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, in the face of the growing social and legal problems sweeping through Europe in connection with the rising influx of people from other cultures, anyone was hoping for an \u201cawakening\u201d on migration, the Human Rights Council\u2019s latest session offers little cause for optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Office of the High Commissioner\u2019s annual report (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-19-aev.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/19<\/a>) praises the #StandUp4Migrants campaign directed against \u201cdehumanizing narratives.\u201d Migration and combating racism are discussed in the annual report in a single, shared chapter devoted to\u2026 non-discrimination. Interestingly, similar logic is confirmed in the report on combating the glorification of Nazism (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session62\/advance-versions\/a-hrc-62-56-auv.pdf\">A\/HRC\/62\/56<\/a>). Alongside legitimate concern about countering the growth of this terrible ideology, there appears a wholly incomprehensible interpretation under which criticism of mass migration is sometimes classified as xenophobia rather than as concern for the security and cultural identity of host states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, in the context of mass migration into European states, the Human Rights Council has yet to recognize the scale of the legal violations committed by migrants, their reluctance to assimilate, or their lack of respect for the culture and customs of host societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In lieu of a summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In closing, it is worth emphasizing that the financial crisis afflicting the UN comes through in a great many of the documents presented during the past session. The report on genocide prevention was not completed on time owing to \u201cfinancial constraints.\u201d The same fate befell the report on the representation of women in human rights bodies. The Working Group on discrimination against women and girls, meanwhile, noted that its 2024 session had been canceled owing to the UN\u2019s financial \u201cliquidity crisis.\u201d The UN\u2019s budgetary constraints are plain to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it cannot be claimed that the past session of the Human Rights Council produced any kind of \u201cbreakthrough.\u201d Striking is the absence of a resolution on the genocide in Gaza, even though reports from the Council\u2019s own commission of inquiry have consistently used precisely that term for months. The call to decriminalize abortion is likewise repeated like a mantra \u2014 this time under the banner of combating teenage pregnancy \u2014 while the fundamental right to life of every human being is entirely ignored. Criticism of uncontrolled migration is still labeled xenophobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, the session, which concluded a few days ago, also allows for several positive conclusions and gives hope that, in some areas, the Human Rights Council may in the future move in the right direction. The report on violence against mothers \u2014 which took Ordo Iuris\u2019s voice into account and honestly named coerced abortion as a form of reproductive violence \u2014 shows that rigorous, substantive argumentation can break through even ideological patterns and political correctness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 62nd session of the Human Rights Council thus allows, above all, for the conclusion that our engagement in this forum is not only needed but necessary \u2014 and, above all, together with the efforts of other organizations, effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
