The Meet took place from 8th to 14th December and COCAP takes pride to be holding all the concerned sequential programs in an efficacious manner. In a very limited time after the handover, it made sure the event is noted as one of the biggest events of Human Rights this year with the 39-point declaration it issued on the final day.
