The UPR Working Group will hold its 45th session from 22 January to 2 February 2024 in Room XX, Palais des Nations, United Nations Office at Geneva, Switzerland.

Accreditation and issuance of badges for all delegates wishing to attend the session

Requests for accreditation should be made online through the platform below to the Secretariat of the Universal Periodic Review as from 13 December 2023. Please allow three working days for your request to be processed.

Online request for accreditation: https://indico.un.org/event/1004425/

Representatives who possess a UNOG or UNHQ badge giving them access to the conference room will have unrestricted access to the respective room. However, they are also requested to register in the online system.

Representatives who do not hold an identification badge issued by the Security and Safety Section of the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) or United Nations Headquarters in New York (UNHQ) should apply through the online platform.

Once accreditation has been granted, a digital badge similar to a mobile boarding pass for a plane or a train is emailed to participants. The digital badge consists of a QR code and the photo uploaded on the online platform, as well as information related to the conference, meeting or event. Those who do not have a phone can simply print their badge and bring it to access the Palais des Nations.

Please be informed that exterior improvement works at Pregny Gate started on 9 October 2023 and will be completed by the end of February 2024. During this period, the Pregny Pavilion will be closed, except for the entry by long term badge holders.

Conference/meeting participants, once their badges are activated, should enter the Palais des Nations through the Peace Gate Bis. In case of assistance, e.g. activation or printing of badges, participants can go to the Peace Gate:
