Upcoming Press Conferences

UNIS Geneva (United Nations Information Service Geneva) organizes the regular UN Geneva Press Briefing, held on Tuesdays and Fridays. These briefings feature spokespersons from various UN agencies who provide updates on global issues. UNIS Geneva also hosts special press conferences. These are organized by individual UN agencies, special rapporteurs and senior UN officials  for major events, reports, or crises.

UNIS Geneva regularly issues press releases and the meeting summaries of major meetings happening in Geneva, including the sessions of the Human Rights Council, the human rights committees, and the Conference on Disarmament.

Media outlets can request permanent or temporary press accreditation for their correspondents to cover the range of activities taking place at the United Nations Office at Geneva, from meetings of the Human Rights Council and peace talks to other major conferences and events.

Accredited correspondents participate in bi-weekly press briefings chaired by the UN Geneva spokesperson and attended by the spokespeople of UN specialized agencies and programmes based in Geneva. Correspondents also have access to scheduled press conferences, stakeouts and background briefings on an almost daily basis.

Facilities for the media include free or rented workspaces and access to radio and television studios and services, upon availability.
