- Early registration on Saturday, 25 August or Sunday, 26 August is highly recommended to avoid

Double registration for the session is not permitted (i.e., State representative and observer
organization representative, or state representative and press/media representative).
Badges are essential in order for participants to gain access to the premises. They are issued only

Consequently, participants are strongly advised to forward their accreditation applications to the
