Plenary Interventions
➢ Member states, observers and UN entities:
There is no pre-established list of speakers for the plenary session (3:50 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.). In order to request the floor, delegations are requested to press the button on the console when the floor is opened by the presiding officer. Given the limited time available, interventions in the plenary session should be limited to 3 minutes or less. The time limit will be strictly implemented, including through the muting of microphones once the time limit is reached, as needed.
Written copies of all statements delivered during the plenary sessions should be sent to estatements@un.org at least two hours in advance of delivery. The subject line of the email should clearly identify the date and time of the meeting at which the intervention will be delivered. Interpretation for statements not sent in advance may be impacted or suspended.
➢ Non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders:
Time permitting, representatives from non-governmental organizations in consultative status with ECOSOC will be invited to make short oral statements on the main theme of the Forum during the plenary session (3:50 - 5:45PM) in person at the UNHQ in New York.
Official representatives from non-governmental organizations in consultative status with ECOSOC were invited to indicate their interest in making short interventions during the plenary meetings, subject to the availability of time, by using a dedicated form.
The open call is now closed and submissions are under review. Only selected speakers will be contacted by the Secretariat.
