Types of accreditation
- Correspondents:
Correspondent accreditation status is a granted media authorization pass to journalists requiring frequent access to the United Nations. Pass holders are designated with a green "P” (for press) on their badge.

This accreditation status is for visiting journalists who cover a specific event, a press conference or who accompany a visiting delegation.
