National Reports

National statements and/or position papers prepared by participating States will be distributed at the Congress in the languages and quantities provided by the Governments. They should be submitted in one (or more) official language(s) of the Congress (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish).

In order to properly identify the national papers as background documents to the Tenth Congress, the symbol A/CONF.187/G/... (to be followed by the name of the country) should be clearly indicated on the upper right hand corner of the cover page. When more than one paper is presented, each paper should be numbered sequentially after the name of the country (for example, A/CONF.187/G/name of the country/1,2,3...). The cover page should, below that symbol, further indicate the date and language(s) of submission. Finally, so as to comply with United Nations practice, the following footnoted disclaimer should be included in the paper:

"The designations employed, the presentation of material and the views expressed in this paper are those of the Government of ..... [name of the country], and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Secretariat of the United Nations in any of these respects.".

To ensure a wide distribution to governements representatives and observers, it is suggested that the following minimum numbers of copies be provided:

English only	500
English plus French or Spanish	325 copies in English 175 copies in French or Spanish
English plus Arabic	325 copies in English 175 copies in Arabic
English plus French and Spanish	275 copies in English 125 copies in French 100 copies in Spanish
English plus Russian	325 copies in English 100 copies in Russian
English plus Chinese	325 copies in English 10 copies in Chinese

If the suggested number of copies cannot be provided, 300 is the absolute minimum number necessary for distribution to cover one copy per delegation and limited copies for Secretariat use. The availability of reproduction facilities for delegates at the Congress site cannot be guaranteed, and it is strongly recommended that sufficient quantities be brought or shipped to the Congress site by the delegations well before the Congress.

The bulk shipment of government national papers should be addressed to:
