Credentials of parties’ representatives
Rule 18 of the rules of procedure for meetings of the parties to the Montreal Protocol provides that the credentials of representatives and the names of alternate representatives and advisers are to be submitted to the Executive Secretary of the meeting, if possible, no later than twenty hours after the opening of the meeting. Any later change in the composition of a delegation is also to be submitted to the Executive Secretary. Accordingly, credentials are required for participation and should be issued either by the Head of State or Government or by the Minister of Foreign Affairs or, in the case of a regional economic integration organization, by the competent authority of that organization. The Secretariat invites parties to submit an electronic copy of their credentials in advance of the meeting, preferably by 21 October 2024 to facilitate the process of reviewing these credentials. Parties should submit the signed and scanned credentials by email to Pablo Moscoso de la Cuba (pablo.moscosodelacuba [at] un.org (pablo[dot]moscosodelacuba[at]un[dot]org)) with a copy to Jacqueline Nyanjui (jacqueline.nyanjui [at] un.org (jacqueline[dot]nyanjui[at]un[dot]org)). Representatives are urged to come to COP13/MOP36 with original credentials duly signed by the Head of State or Government or by a Minister of Foreign Affairs or, in the case of a regional economic integration organization, by the competent authority of that organization and to submit them to the Secretariat as soon as possible after the start of the meeting. In accordance with rule 19, the officers of the meeting shall thereafter examine the credentials and submit their report to the meeting.
