Schedule of inscriptions

approximately 15 minutes after the beginning of the respective dialogue. Should the total duration of a given
clustered ID be estimated to last less than 4 hours, the speaking time limits will remain 5 minutes for Members
(and groups) and 3 minutes for observers. However, if it is estimated to be more than 4 hours, the speaking
time limits will be reduced to 3 minutes for Members (and groups) and 2 minutes for observers. Should this
measure be deemed insufficient to ensure that the total duration not exceed 4 hours, the speaking time limit
will be further reduced to 2 minutes for both Members (and groups) and observers.
3. For all individual IDs and panels, electronic inscription will take place at the beginning of each dialogue
or panel. The list will close approximately 15 minutes after the beginning of the respective dialogue or panel.

the lists will be possible after that date. Speaking order will be drawn by lot by the Bureau of the HRC on
Friday 11 March. Speaking time for States varies depending on the number of speakers inscribed. Total time
for States Members of the Council, observer States and United Nations agencies is 20 minutes. Total time for
other stakeholders is 20 minutes, with speaking time of 2 minutes for all.
5. The right of reply is limited to two replies and is exercised either at the end of the day (unless there is a
