Access to Conference Room 4
At the request of the United Nations Department of Safety and Security, access to Conference Room 4 has been simplified. There will not be a ticket system in place to enter the public gallery of Conference Room 4, access to the room will be on a first come first served basis. A member of UN DESA will remain at the entrance to guide all representatives, however you will not need to pick up a ticket in advance. I have attached a revised and updated Information Note to MGoS participants.
