Division 2.3.3 Input: Research component

To ensure a well-informed, substantive and timely input to the UN process, a strong research component is needed. UNIDIR will commission up to 12 background research papers from competent research institutes or individual experts, focusing on some key relevant aspects of the project and of the regional seminars. UNIDIR will propose to the HR a short-list of possible research institutes or individual experts having a sound background in specific issues of an ATT. The HR will select the most appropriate ones on the basis of the short-list and in consultation with the competent Council bodies.
