UN-GGIM

Guidelines for submission of written statements:

A standard proforma for completing written statements for each of the substantive agenda items can be downloaded as a Word document from the 'Meeting Documents' page against each agenda item.

Written statements may be submitted by the following:

• Member States: by the Head of Delegation, Representative or Lead Member (as provided in formal notification to the Secretariat) or Permanent Missions to the UN in New York;
• Regional Committees of UN-GGIM: by the Chair/President; and
• Observers: by the designated Lead Person of the entity invited by the Committee of Experts to participate in the tenth session (as listed in E/C.20/2020/CRP.4).

Once completed, statements should be emailed to: ggim@un.org

All submitted statements will be uploaded in pdf format and available from the agenda item links below. They will be available in the language received, as soon as feasible after receipt (except over weekends). The statements will not be edited in any way and will be uploaded sequentially according to date.

Due to the potential volume of submissions in a condensed period, we encourage written statements to be brief, provided in English if possible, focused on the main discussion items for the Committee of Experts, and provided to the Secretariat by 21 August. Additional statements may be posted during the actual sessions on 26 and 27 August, including on the chat. However, they may not be fully captured immediately in the main summary points read out, but may be added, where appropriate, at a later stage.

Written and oral statements are available from the links below:
