五个月前，联合国根据可信度、平衡和包容性提出了一份统一的“三分之一中间派”名单，其中包括总体而言，宪法委员会成员至少有30％是妇女的目标。反对派并不完全喜欢这份名单，但同意本着向前迈进的精神，不对这份名单提出质疑。政府强烈反对该名单，并表示它将与索契会议召集人合作，提出一份不同的名单，而联合国应该等候这一结果。
Five months ago, the United Nations put forward a consolidated proposed middle third list, based on credibility, balance and inclusivity, including aiming at an overall minimum of 30 per cent women on the constitutional committee. The opposition did not entirely like that list but agreed not to question it in the spirit of moving forward. The Government had strong objections to the list and indicated that it would work with the conveners of the Sochi meeting on a different list and that the United Nations should wait for that input.
