HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
35th session (6 - 23 June 2017)

Inscription on the list of speakers and posting statements on the HRC Extranet

The online system for inscription for the list of speakers applies to general debates (“GDs”), individual and clustered interactive dialogues (“IDs”), and can be accessed through https://spreg.ohchr.org/. Delegations are invited to inscribe online using the same login details used during the 34th session of the Council. In case of log-in problems, delegations can press the red button to retrieve their password, or contact for further assistance.

(a)  For all GDs and IDs, online inscription for the lists of speakers opened on Thursday 1 June 2017 at 4 p.m. and will close two hours before the meeting in which the respective debate/dialogue is scheduled to start. The online inscription system allows delegations to register on behalf of regional or political groups. If the name of the group does not appear in the drop-down menu, the delegation should choose the “other” option, provide the name of the group and select at least two countries that are part of the joint registration. After the online inscription has closed, delegations may still inscribe or withdraw at the List of Speakers Desk until the closure of the list, approximately 15 minutes after the beginning of the respective debate/dialogue. The list of speakers will be made available at the desk two hours before the debate/dialogue is scheduled to start.

(b)  Inscription for all panel discussions will be done through the electronic system in Room XX, at the beginning of each panel. Delegations are invited to inscribe by pressing the microphone button at their desk once the Secretariat has activated the system. For States Members of the Council, only the microphone button with the red sticker can be used to inscribe on the list. Delegations wishing to register a dignitary or speaking on behalf of a group should inform the Secretariat at the List of Speakers Desk and will be given priority slots on the list. Delegations may still inscribe at the Desk until the list is closed approximately 15 minutes after the corresponding discussion has started.

All delegations are strongly encouraged to upload their oral statements as soon as possible through the online system for inscription on the lists of speakers for posting on the Extranet. Hard or electronic copies of statements handed in person or received by email will not be posted. Hard copies given to conference officers will be used for interpretation purposes only.

(a)  Statements should be uploaded in Word format in the online system.

(b)  Statements uploaded in advance of a debate/dialogue/panel will be forwarded automatically to the interpreters, and will be posted on the Extranet shortly after being delivered.

(c)  Statements uploaded after a debate will be posted, but may likely appear on the Extranet after a delay.

(d)  It is possible to upload a revised version of an oral statement to replace its earlier version, but a final version should be posted as soon as possible.

(e)  Should you require advice on uploading statements, please ask the Secretariat at the List of Speakers Desk.
