General Assembly and its Ad Hoc Working Group of the Whole

The Ad Hoc Working Group of the Whole on the Regular Process, established in 2008, oversees and guides the Regular Process. It is led by two Co-Chairs, one from a developing and one from a developed country. The Working Group meets at United Nations Headquarters to adopt recommendations to the General Assembly. Meetings of the Working Group are generally held once or twice per year, depending on workload. Informal open meetings have also been held to facilitate broader discussion on some issues. The Bureau of the Working Group puts into practice the decisions and guidance of the Working Group during the intersessional period, including by providing oversight of the delivery of the programme of work for the third cycle of the Regular Process.
