Registration
NGOs that are accredited to and in good standing with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) may designate representatives to the annual sessions of the CSW.
Invitation letters were sent in October to the e-mail addresses registered in the integrated Civil Society Organizations (iCSO) System of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) by NGOs in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
CSW registration for NGOs in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) was open from 4 October 2024 till 24 January 2025 via the United Nations Indico.UN registration system. Online registration is mandatory for all participants. We are not able to accept late registrations or registrations by email.

Due to the high number of registrations for CSW69, UN grounds pass collection will have extended hours starting on Friday before the session begins, over the weekend as well as during the first days.
Collection of United Nations grounds passes takes place at the UN Pass & ID Office which is located at 320 East 45thstreet (between First and Second Avenue), outside of UN premises. Do not proceed to the main entrance of the United Nations until you have collected your grounds pass.
Representatives should expect that there will be long lines and an extended wait on Monday, 10 March and Tuesday, 11 March mornings. Representatives are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the collection hours prior to the session on 7, 8 and 9 March.
