SUMMARY:9th session of Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development
DESCRIPTION:DATE\n01 – 02 May 2024 \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nNEW YORK \n\nThe session was shortened due to UN liquidity crisis. \nThe ninth session of the Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development will take place in Conference Room 6\, in UN HQ New York\, on Wednesday 1 May and Thursday 2 May 2024\, 10am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm Eastern Time (ET). \nOver the past years\, the EMRTD has undertaken rigorous studies and dialogues on various dimensions of the right to development (RTD). At its ninth session\, the EMRTD aims to assess its progress and foster meaningful exchanges of viewpoints and experiences among Member States and key stakeholders. Our deliberations will be enriched by insights from recent and ongoing negotiations\, including the Third South Summit\, the forthcoming Financing for Development Forum\, the Conferences on Small Islands Developing States and on Landlocked Developing Countries\, in addition to the Summit of the Future. \nRecognizing the urgent challenges posed by multiple crises\, the EMRTD remains steadfast in providing tangible contributions to support Member States in their negotiations. Our collective goal is to drive progress toward realizing the 2030 Agenda and ensuring the RTD for all. \nThe session will feature a general debate\, a discussion on proposed studies\, and four interactive dialogues with representatives from Member States\, civil society\, practitioners\, and experts. We are committed to ensuring that these four dialogues are concrete\, drawing upon effective experiences\, good practices\, and strategies to address pressing development needs. \nProvisional agenda \nProgramme of work \n  \nSee more info here. \n

SUMMARY:Language Services and the European Union Special Briefing
DESCRIPTION:**Call for Participation**\n\nLanguage Services and the European Union\nSpecial Briefing\n\n \n8 May 2024\n\n\n\nThe NGO Committee on Language and Languages will hold a special briefing on language services and the European Union on 8 May 2024.\n\nWith twenty-four official languages\, the European Union (EU) is rich in linguistic and cultural diversity.  Implementing multilingualism in the day-to-day work of EU institutions requires robust language services for interpretation and translation.  This special briefing addresses the administration of these services (e.g.\, how they are funded; how resources\, time\, and workload are allocated; and how it is staffed) as well as practical considerations for implementing language services for highly multilingual intergovernmental work.  Focusing specifically on the European Parliament\, officials from the Directorate General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences and the Directorate General for Translation will discuss the provision of high-quality interpretation in meetings\, training and succession planning that ensures sustainable and flexible service\, managing interpretation processes\, and strategic planning that transforms top-level vision into act on.\n\n\nFormat\nThe meeting will take place on 8 May 2024 from 09:00-10:00 EDT/New York via Zoom.  It is anticipated that interpreting will be provided in English\, French\, and Spanish.  Statements will be made by\n\nAlison Graves\nDirector\, Directorate General for Logistics and Interpretation for Conferences\nEuropean Parliament \nMads Nyegaard Outzen\nHead\, Strategy and Innovation Unit Directorate General for Translation\nEuropean Parliament\n\nOpen discussion following the statements will be moderated by Professor Francis M. Hult\, Chair of the NGO Committee on Language and Languages.\n\n\nRegistration\nRepresentatives of NGOs\, UN Secretariat and agency staff\, EU staff\, colleagues from Member States\, scholars\, language professionals\, and others interested in multilingual services are invited to register for the briefing using this general registration form no later than 7 May.

SUMMARY:2024 UN Civil Society Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference in Nairobi.\nThe United Nations Civil Society Conference is the premier event on the civil society calendar at the United Nations. The Conference offers civil society organizations an opportunity to put a global perspective on a specific issue and brings together senior UN System officials\, prominent international civil society organizations\, youth changemakers\, academia\, public opinion makers\, and international media to discuss issues of global concern. This international forum\, expected to host some 1500 participants\, will provide preliminary discussions and data ahead of the Summit of the Future in September 2024 at the UN Headquarters in New York. \nSince 1947\, sixty-eight civil society conferences have resulted in successful outcomes due to previous interactions with civil society organizations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Civil society organizations were present in San Francisco at the founding of the United Nations and have been an integral part of the United Nations ecosystem from the outset. As part of our consultations\, civil society has called for better engagement with the United Nations system. I believe that it is essential for the United Nations to listen to\, coordinate with\, and engage with civil society.” \nOur Common Agenda. Chapter V. Paragraph 121 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info
