PRE-REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

In keeping with the resolution 2000/22, indigenous peoples’ organizations (IPOs) and Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) in consultative status with ECOSOC may be accredited to attend sessions of the Permanent Forum as observers. Based on past practice at the Working Group on Indigenous Populations, academic institutions may also be permitted to attend. The Permanent Forum has also agreed that indigenous parliamentarians and national human rights institutions may be invited to attend.

The Secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (SPFII) works together with the Civil Society and Outreach Unit of the Division of Social Policy and Development in the pre-accreditation process.

Online pre-registration has now closed.

For those who have preregistered, upon arrival at the United Nations Headquarters, representatives of indigenous peoples' organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) requiring entry-passes for admission to the UN complex will be screened at the UN Visitors Entrance at 46th Street and 1st Avenue and then proceed to the registration desk to complete their registration and pick up their entry-passes.
