Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty

We would also like to invite all civil society representatives who wish to attend the CSP5 as part of the Control Arms delegation, to take a moment to register using this online form. This will assist us in better coordinating the participation of civil society organizations at the CSP5, including booking affordable accommodations, coordinating side events and organizing our work.   

The link will take you to a very simple form which will ask you to indicate whether you need sponsorship to attend CSP5, if you wish to be part of the Control Arms hotel booking, and whether you wish to join any of the sub-teams that will be working in advance of and during the CSP5.

Please note that if you registered to attend the CSP5 as part of the Control Arms delegation, you must register online with the ATT Secretariat (here), but you do NOT need to send in a note verbale. We will do so on behalf of the whole Control Arms delegation.

Please reach out to cspngo@controlarms.org if you have any questions.

We invite interested colleagues to apply for these places by filling out the same online form before Wednesday, 19 June 2019.

Please note that the selection for sponsorship will be made based on the following criteria:

• Geographical balance
• Linguistic balance (across English, French, Spanish, Arabic)
• Gender balance
• Demonstration of active engagement in ATT process, and planned future activities
• A balance of skills, experience and knowledge of the issues to be discussed, to enable the delegation to perform all the tasks necessary for a productive CSP (Please note that in order to increase exposure to the international meeting processes for a wider range of colleagues and to build capacity and experience, at least 20% of the sponsored participants will be new members or colleagues that have not been sponsored previously).

Sponsored participants are required to attend the Civil Society Briefing Day as well as to take part in any planning calls we will hold in advance of CSP5.

Please reach out to cspngo@controlarms.org if you have any questions.
