Right of reply7
N/A
1. The electronic system in Room XX will be used for all interactive dialogues (“IDs”) and panel
discussions. Delegates representing States, United Nations agencies and international and regional
organizations can inscribe on the list of speakers by pressing the microphone button at their desk, when the
timer is displayed on the screen. For States Members of the Council, only the microphone with the red
sticker can be used to inscribe on the list. This does not apply to NGOs and NHRIs (see below). The lists of
speakers for all IDs, as well as for panel discussions, close 15 minutes after the corresponding dialogue or
discussion has started, delegations may still inscribe at the list of speakers desk until that moment.
2. For general debates (“GDs”), all delegates are requested to inscribe in person at the list of speakers desk
in Room XX, which is open for all items 30 minutes before the official opening of the session.
3. For all clustered IDs, electronic registration will take place in advance on Monday 14 September 2015
approximately at 12.00 (noon).
4. Should the total duration of a given 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 Members (and groups) and 2
minutes for Observers or the total time may be divided equally among all with a minimum of 1.5 minute per
speaker.
Order of the day, 24 September 2015

5. For all individual IDs and panels, electronic inscription will take place at the beginning of each
dialogue.
6. For the adoptions of UPR outcomes under agenda item 6, 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.
7. The right of reply is limited to two replies and is exercised either at the end of the day or at the end of the
consideration of a relevant agenda item concerned.
* National human rights institutions (NHRIs) with “A” status accreditation wishing to make an oral
statement should approach the NGO/NHRI List of speakers desk in Room XX before the delivery of the
statement.
** Accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) wishing to make an oral statement should submit a
request using the online registration system for oral statements available on the Council website at
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/NgoParticipation.aspx
