Media Arrangements for the High-Level Period of GA75
This page will be updated as information becomes available
MEDIA ADVISORY ON HIGH-LEVEL EVENTS and MEDIA RESOURCE GUIDE
ACCESS
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, special arrangements will be in place for the General Debate and other high-level meetings of GA75 (schedule and modalities).
Accordingly, and in an effort to limit the number of people on the premises, temporary media accreditation will not be issued for the high-level period of GA75 and there will not be a media centre.
Entrance will be limited to resident correspondents who need access to their offices at UNHQ (and potentially a very limited number of non-resident, subject to on-site risk assessment and with prior approval).
Access to media booths, the press briefing room, the Security Council stakeout, and other areas will be limited in order to maintain physical distancing and mitigate the risk of exposure. There will not be a dedicated stakeout in the General Assembly building or elsewhere. Access to the General Assembly building and the 2nd floor of the Conference Building will be restricted.
For any questions, contact the Media Accreditation and Liaison Unit by email: malu@un.org.
For issues related to the use of Press Island (1st Ave. between 45th & 46th St.), please contact the NYPD: Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information (DCPI), at dcpi@nypd.org or 646-610-6700.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
