From 16–27 April 2007, the UN Forum on Forests (“UNFF”) gathered in New York for its 7th session (“UNFF7”). After two weeks of intense and difficult negotiations, in the early hours of 28 April, UNFF adopted three documents. The main document was the “Non-legally binding instrument on sustainable forest management of all types of forests” (the “Instrument”), which was adopted by the General Assembly by resolution on 17 December 2007.
