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 available.
This service could only be realized thanks to the help of DPA, AFP and EFE, which have made their databases available free of charge.
