Special events are meetings, presentations or panel discussions on topics that are relevant to the work of the Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption and that are held outside the formal proceedings. Whilst the organization of these meetings is coordinated and facilitated by the secretariat, the sole responsibility for the content of these events (including promotional materials and the events themselves) as well as for the related technical arrangements rests with the organizers.
These events are open to registered CoSP10 participants. The links for online participation in each event can be found in the INDICO platform to which registered participants have access.
The organizations of the United Nations system are committed to enabling events in which everyone can participate in an inclusive, respectful and safe manner. Events facilitated by the UN system are guided by the highest ethical and professional standards, and all participants are expected to behave with integrity and respect towards all participants attending or involved in the events.
