Speakers

The speakers list for the general debate will be open as of 6 April 2015. States parties wishing to inscribe their names on the list of speakers for the general debate are invited to contact Mr. Hong Tan of the NPT secretariat, Room S-3164, Tel: 212 963-7062, Fax: 917 367 1767. Speakers’ lists for the Main Committees will be opened at a later stage during the Conference.

Given that a large number of States parties are expected to take part in the general debate, the President-designate has indicated that it would be highly desirable for statements not to exceed five minutes so that the general debate can be completed within the envisaged time frame. Representatives speaking on behalf of a group of States are encouraged to deliver statements that do not exceed eight minutes.

Delegations are encouraged, whenever possible, to send an electronic copy of their statements, as early as possible in advance of delivery, to papersmart3@un.org. The statements will be available to view and download via the PaperSmart Portal upon delivery. The secretariat kindly requests delegations to provide only 25 hard copies of official statements for the technical services. The United Nations does not provide photocopying services.
