mentioned in the publication. All pictures can be viewed in low resolution and downloaded in high
resolution.

The combined UN Media Information Desk and Press Documents Counter is located next to the entrance to
the IMC. The media liaison officers serve as prime contact points for members of the press seeking
information on the conference proceedings and/or interviews with UN officials or delegates. The desk is
also responsible for the distribution of UN press releases, information material and a selected number
of conference documents, including the Daily Programme. Texts of speeches will also be distributed at
this counter, if delegations provide sufficient copies.
International News Wire Services
The news database of international news wires can be accessed (text only) from several computer
terminals which have been set up within the IMC. English, French, German and Spanish services will be
