Guide to the 64th CND

To support NGO and CSO participation in and engagement with the Commission, the VNGOC has prepared a detailed Guide with information about the Commission and how it operates; information about NGO participation in the Commission and suggestions on how they can engage most effectively with its work (even if they cannot be present in Vienna); practical information; useful links and contacts.

This years guide also highlights changes and new procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will update the guide regularly to include the latest information.

The Guide is also available in French and Spanish.
