Welcome to the United Nations
In accordance with General Assembly resolution 67/290, the HLPF is open to all States Members of the United Nations and States Members of specialized agencies, entities and organizations having received a standing invitation to participate as observers in the General Assembly, UN entities, major groups and other relevant stakeholders.
Registration is required for the purpose of requesting a UN grounds pass and participating in meetings. Detailed guidance will be contained in the Information Note on the arrangements for the 2026 High-level Political Forum and High-level Segment of the Economic and Social Council, to be issued in April 2026.
The UN is committed to maintaining an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment at its events, with all participants expected to act with integrity. There is zero tolerance for harassment, including sexual harassment in UN events, as per the Code of Conduct to Prevent Sexual Harassment which applies to all meetings of the HLPF and ECOSOC, including side events. A copy of the Code of Conduct can be found here.
Within United Nations premises, all persons are required to comply with safety and security regulations, as well as the rules and procedures of the organization. Any act that disrupts the normal functioning of the organization’s programmatic activities, such as public displays of any form, including, but not limited to, clothing, banners, placards or other written or visual means, as well as vocal/audio sounds, gatherings, or demonstrations of any kind, including passive, is not allowed.
More information on participation arrangements for various categories of participants, including delegations, UN system entities, and stakeholders, will be made available closer to the 2026 HLPF.
