Division 2.2.5 Timing

The five regional conferences will be held in an eight-month period between June 2017 and February 2018 (ensuring all regional conferences are held before the Preparatory Committee meeting for RevCon3, likely to be held in February 2018). The exact timing and sequencing (i.e. the order of the regions covered) of the regional conferences will be determined by the implementing agencies, in consultation with the Union, taking into account the UN disarmament calendar. Each regional conference will run for two days. The two regional conferences in Africa will be organised back to back in one location. The two regional conferences in Latin America and the Caribbean will be organised back to back.
