For entry into the United Nations premises participants need to bring a copy of the registration form as well as appropriate identification documents. In addition to obtaining a badge for entering the premises, all participants are also requested to fill up the orange registration forms which are available in Room XX and return it to the Conference service personnel or the Secretariat.

Panel and Debate Sessions


  1. The Social Forum takes place in Palais des Nations, Room XX (door 40, third floor). A detailed Programme of Work can be found on OHCHR’s Social Forum webpage. The Social Forum is composed of panel presentations followed by open debates. The participants wishing to take the floor during the open debate on behalf of their delegation or organization are requested to inscribe on the list of speakers. An inscription point is situated on the right-hand side of the room close to the podium. The list of speakers will be drawn upon on a first-come-first-served basis and will determine the order of intervention during the open debate. Each open debate is limited in time and shared by all participants wishing to take the floor. The speaking time for all observers is set to 5 minutes. The Chairperson-Rapporteur has the discretion to close the list of speakers and to review the speaking time arrangement as appropriate.



  1. All speakers at open debate sessions are encouraged to make substantive interventions relevant to the topic under discussion. Questions should be clearly directed to the relevant quest speaker(s). Due to the limitations of time, not all requests for oral interventions may be accommodated, therefore, where appropriate, NGO coordination is encouraged in making joint statements.
