UNECE Regional Preparatory
Meeting for the
10-year Review of Implementation of the
Beijing Platform for Action.
Two types of NGOs are automatically accredited:
- those NGOs with consultative status to the ECOSOC; and
- those which were officially accredited to the ECE Regional Preparatory Meeting for Beijing +5 (Geneva, January 2000) and/or to the Beijing Conference.
These NGOs are requested to send a letter
by 15 November 2004 to the ECE secretariat, expressing their
intention to attend the meeting and providing the name(s)
of their representative(s). For NGOs with activities worldwide,
nomination of representatives should be restricted to those
who cover countries (or groups of countries) of the ECE region
in their respective organizations.
Other NGOs which would like to participate in the meeting
are requested to complete an Application
Form to be filled and returned by 15 October 2004, and
provide information on their organisation and activities to
the ECE secretariat. The requests will be screened according
to the following criteria:
- the NGOs should be based in the ECE region, with activities
at the regional, sub-regional or national level;
- their activities should relate directly to at least one
of the areas covered by the agenda of the Meeting; and
- they should be legally registered as NGOs and have an
established constituency.
The list of NGOs, compiled according to the
above criteria will be eventually submitted to the Commission
for accreditation.
