DATE AND VENUE

The Twelfth Meeting of States Parties (12MSP) is scheduled to take place from 10 to 13 September 2024 in Room XIX at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. 

 

INVITATION

The 12MSP was convened by Note Verbale: English – Français – Español

An invitation letter was also addressed to relevant organizations.

 

REGISTRATION

As of January 2024, the Geneva Branch of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) has introduced e-deleGATE to facilitate and expedite its Secretariat functions. You can access the platform at https://edelegate.un.int/, where the Convention on Cluster Munitions appears under the “Geneva” tab. Account and user management for delegations are handled by the designated access administrators within Permanent Missions accredited to the United Nations Office at Geneva. Delegation members and relevant Permanent Mission staff should contact their access administrator to obtain access to the Convention-related modules.

All States Parties and other States participating as observers are requested to use e-deleGATE to register their delegation members for the 12MSP through the e-List of Participants module. Any changes in the composition of delegations during the Meeting should be updated using the same module. Delegations are also requested to upload their Note Verbales to UNODA via e-deleGATE.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC), and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) are requested to register their delegations on e-deleGATE. To facilitate this, each aforementioned organization is asked to nominate a focal point in Geneva who will be responsible for registering delegation members and managing all information uploaded to e-deleGATE. Kindly share the email address of the nominated focal point with UNODA at ccm@un.org. 

The United Nations, other international organizations or institutions, and regional organizations should continue to transmit their Note Verbales to ccm@un.org.

All initial registrations on e-deleGATE should be completed before 10 September 2024. For any questions concerning registration, please contact ccm@un.org.

Please note that all Note Verbales should be addressed to UNODA, which serves as the Secretariat of the Meeting of States Parties. If you encounter any issues accessing the e-deleGATE platform to register your delegation, please email your registration and include a brief description of the issue to UNODA at ccm@un.org, with the ISU copied at info@cmconvention.org.
