Introduction
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.
