Category II

These documents are reports on implementation and compliance and other background documents, prepared by the secretariat or subsidiary bodies of the Convention (informational and analytical documents of direct relevance to the agenda that will provide a basis for discussion). These documents will be translated where feasible, reproduced and distributed by the Conference Service of UNOG prior to the meeting.

As a general rule, neither the secretariat nor the host country will undertake to make available at the meeting copies of those Category II documents that have not been prepared specially for the Meeting of the Parties and that have already been distributed by Conference Services during the intersessional period. Delegates are therefore responsible for bringing their own copies of such documents.
