Announcements
Message from DPI/NGO:
Passes for non-UN photo ID holders to attend the DPI/NGO briefings will be distributed in the lobby of our office building, located at 801 UN Plaza (UNITAR Building on 45th Street). All participants attending DPI/NGO briefings/events will have to present a government
issued photo ID at prior to issuance of their UN special event passes. All UN special event passes (non-photo passes) issued to registrants will include their first and last names.
Kindly ensure that you register for DPI/NGO events with your name as reflected on your government issued photo ID prior to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesdays before the event RSVP links are closed as, due to the UN’s security policy, we are not able to accommodate walk-ins. This means that unless your name is in the RSVP list by the given deadline, you will not be able to attend the briefing.
