Statements by non-State actors in official relations with WHO

This WHO online platform allows non-State actors in official relations with WHO to upload statements they plan to deliver at WHO Governing Bodies meetings, so their views are available before the discussions.

• The statements reflect only the views of the non-State actors. They do not represent or imply endorsement by WHO.
• WHO is not responsible for the accuracy or content of the statements.

Content guidelines

• Statements must focus on technical issues.
• They must be directly related to the relevant agenda item and its official document.
• Political issues, unrelated topics, or offensive or inappropriate references are not allowed.
• Statements should not refer to individual Member States or parts of Member States.
• Any names or terminology used must follow United Nations nomenclature.

Delivery and records

• Statements are made only if the Chairperson invites them.
• Only statements delivered verbally at the Chairperson’s invitation are included in WHO’s official records.

Availability

• Statements are posted online for a limited period, as determined by the WHO Secretariat, and are removed afterwards.
