Guided by the Parties to the Convention, we provide organizational support and technical expertise to their negotiations and institutions and facilitate the flow of authoritative information on the implementation of the Convention. We are committed to performing these tasks to the highest standards of professionalism and objectivity.

We strive to be a dynamic team, committed to the promotion of a participatory and caring work environment. Our respect for each other and our blend of diverse cultures, gender and backgrounds enrich and enhance our work.
