THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

13 April 2020

Excellency,

Further to General Assembly resolution 73/292, entitled, “2020 United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”, in particular paragraph 16 of Annex II, viz:

• “The President of the General Assembly shall also draw up lists of representatives of other relevant non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, academic institutions, the scientific community, the private sector and philanthropic organizations whose work is relevant to the Conference, who may participate in the Conference and the preparatory meeting as observers, taking into account the principles of transparency and of equitable geographical representation, and shall submit the proposed lists to Member States for their consideration on a non-objection basis. The President of the General Assembly shall bring a list to the attention of the General Assembly before the preparatory meeting and, in any case, no later than December 2019, and, where applicable, shall bring another list to the attention of the Assembly before the Conference and, in any case, no later than April 2020.”

Reference is also made to my letter dated 13 April 2020, informing that draft decision A/74/L.48, entitled “2020 United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Conserve and Sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development, regarding the postponement of the ocean conference and its preparatory process, had passed silence procedure, and thus adopted as General Assembly decision 74/548.

Given that the adoption of decision 74/548 regarding the postponement of the ocean conference and its preparatory meeting, did not alter the April 2020 deadline for the previously announced Special Accreditation process, and following a review by the Secretariat in accordance with standard practice, I have the pleasure to enclose herewith, a list of 395 non- governmental organizations, civil society organizations, academic institutions, the scientific community, the private sector and philanthropic organizations that have applied to participate in the conference and its preparatory meeting.

I intend to, in the absence of an objection by Monday 20 April 2020, approve the list for accreditation to participate in the conference and its preparatory meeting. As hitherto conveyed, the dates for the conference and its preparatory meeting will be determined by the General Assembly at a later date.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
