Detailed Information

Attendance and Accreditation

Requests for accreditation submission deadline: 19 November 2021
Submission deadline for additional representatives: 14 December 2021

Owing to the prevailing conditions relating to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the restricted nature of the arrangements for the Review Conference, access to the United Nations Headquarters premises remains limited to delegations and staff. Therefore, participation by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at the tenth Review Conference is envisaged to take place virtually/online, in view of the health and safety guidelines implemented at United Nations Headquarters. There is no expectation at this stage that representatives of NGOs will travel to United Nations Headquarters in New York. Any side events will take place entirely virtually. The exact format of the session will be determined by States parties in the run-up to the Conference.

If your organization requested and received accreditation in 2020 to attend the Review Conference, its accreditation remains valid. Previously accredited organizations do not need to apply again.

All requests for accreditation must be submitted to the Secretariat no later than 19 November 2021 using the online form available at https://forms.office.com/r/j4vz1Sj0sa. Non-governmental organizations must also submit to Diane Barnes (diane.barnes@un.org) a written accreditation request on the official letterhead of the organization listing the representatives who will attend, including their full names and titles. Additional representatives may be included in a revised accreditation request letter, which should be should be submitted by 14 December 2021. To facilitate communications concerning accreditation and registration, the letter must include the personal email address and direct telephone number of a point of contact in the organization.

Non-governmental organizations that have not attended a previous Review Conference or Preparatory Committee meeting of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons should indicate previous interactions between the organization and the United Nations in relation to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation issues. A mission statement or summary of work of the organization should be provided.

Those non-governmental organizations that have requested accreditation as stated above will be informed by the Secretariat by email by 30 November 2021 of the outcome of their request. For questions relating to accreditation, please contact Diane Barnes (diane.barnes@un.org).

Press Kit

The list of speakers for the general debate will be open from 10 a.m. (New York time) on 14 December 2021. States parties wishing to add the names of their representatives to the list of speakers for the general debate are invited to do so through the eSpeakers module of the e-deleGATE portal. Representatives of international organizations without access to the portal who wish to be inscribed on the list of speakers are invited to contact Rene Holbach of the Secretariat (holbach@un.org, tel.: 1 212 963 3322). Speakers’ lists for the main committees will be opened at a later stage during the Review Conference.

Given that a large number of States parties are expected to take part in the general debate, national statements should be limited to five minutes and statements on behalf of groups of States parties to eight minutes. After five or eight minutes, as applicable, the microphones will be automatically disabled. Similarly, statements in the exercise of right of reply should not exceed five minutes for the first intervention and three minutes for the second. A strictly enforced time limit for statements and rights of reply would permit the reduction in the overall number of meetings allocated to the general debate. A similar approach will be taken for statements at the meetings of the Main Committees. Longer statements, submitted in writing, will be reflected on the estatements portal and on the Review Conference website.

Delegations are kindly requested to submit electronic versions of their statements in PDF and Microsoft Word formats to estatements@un.org no later than two hours in advance of delivery. The date, name of the meeting and the speaker, as well as the agenda item should be clearly indicated in the subject line of the email and in the heading of the statement. The statements will remain embargoed until their delivery. While the PDF version will be made available to the users of the digital Journal, the Microsoft Word version will be used by translation services when producing official records. If submitters have versions in any other United Nations official languages at their disposal, they are kindly encouraged to also include them in both formats, whenever possible.
