Division 2.3.2 Project description

The project will provide for two types of events:

1. (a)

   Financing of six outreach events in support of both the HCoC and ballistic missile non-proliferation that will take place in three cities:

   • in New York, in the margins of the UN General Assembly First Committee or of the non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committees;

   • in Geneva, in the margins of the Conference on Disarmament;

   • in Vienna, in the margins of the HCoC, COPUOS or other relevant activities of the UN in Vienna.

   Those events could take different forms:

   • seminars gathering up to 80 participants from UN missions in New York, Geneva and Vienna around a selected group of speakers and European Union officials;

   • closed lunches or dinners aimed at engaging senior officials from selected countries around an EU senior representative and experts.

   To this end, the implementing entity will propose for each event to the HR a list of countries, some of which will be non-subscribing States. This will allow convening senior representatives that deal with non-proliferation issues.

2. (b)

   Financing of three regional outreach seminars that could take place in Latin America (e.g. Chile, Mexico, Argentina, or Brazil), the Middle East (e.g. the Gulf countries, UAE or Jordan), and Asia (e.g. Singapore or Vietnam).The choice of the location will be made in agreement with the HR, in close consultation with Member States in the framework of the competent Council Working Party. The seminar will be dedicated to trends in missile proliferation and a focus on regional issues and will address the HCoC and practical information about being a subscribing state.
