Guidelines for Speakers
Speaker’s lists are open to all registered to attend the Permanent Forum as observers.
The online speakers’ list is open for Indigenous Peoples’ Organizations, Indigenous Members of Parliaments and Non-governmental organizations in ECOSOC status.
At the beginning of each meeting, the Permanent Forum members will introduce the agenda item. They will also ask questions and make statements whenever they consider it to be appropriate. Time constraints are considerable given the great number of observers who ask for the floor. The Chairperson will explain the procedure to follow at the beginning of each plenary session regarding the list of speakers and will set time limits for interventions (speakers will be given 3 minutes to facilitate broad participation).
Since 2016, there were changes to the Speakers List arrangements during the plenary. The Programme of Work lists both Speaker’s Lists and Interactive Dialogues.
For Interactive Dialogues, speakers can inscribe to the speaker’s list at the beginning such session simply by pressing the microphone button on their desk, or where desks have been set aside for this purpose – especially for those who do not have access to a microphone button. You may be asked your name and organization by staff assisting the Chairperson.
For Speaker’s Lists, Indigenous Peoples Organisations, National Human Rights Institutions and Indigenous Members of Parliament must put their name on the speaker’s list. Speakers are only allowed to speak once under an agenda item.
The order of speakers is determined by the Chair of the Permanent Forum.
Once you have been confirmed on the speaker’s list, you need to provide 10 copies of your statement to translators (to be given to Conference Room Officer). You should also send your statement to @email where it will be uploaded on the website after your presentation.
Members States, intergovernmental organizations and UN bodies and specialized agencies wishing to send observers to the session are requested to communicate the composition of their delegations, in advance of the session, to the Secretary of the Forum (c/o Mr. Dino Del Vasto (email del-vasto@un.org; Room S-3066). Kindly be reminded that the observers who have not indicated their participation by the established deadline will be seated on a fisrt-come, first-served basis.
Member States and United Nations bodies and specialized agencies wishing to inscribe on the list of speakers for a particular item should contact Mr. Gerard Cianciulli, email: cianciulli@un.org
