Access to the Palais des Nations.

For NGO participation in the Human Rights Council.

A limited number of seats in the public gallery, above Conference Room XX, is available for persons wishing to observe the proceedings of the Human Rights Council without being accredited as participants (i.e. students, and academics). Access to the public gallery will be granted to individuals or groups depending on the availability of seating and other circumstances.

Individuals or groups who wish to observe the proceedings through the public gallery are required to register on the online platform. Please allow three working days for your request to be processed.

To participate in a side event, please contact the organizer of the event directly. The organizer of the event may invite a maximum of five guests who do not already hold access badges to the Palais des Nations. These guests should register individually online three working days prior to the event, through the link provided by the official organizer of the event and upload a copy of the official signed letter inviting them to participate. After this deadline, no further requests or changes will be accepted.
