27. 将于 11 月 11 日至 12 月 11 日期间接受非政府组织提交的书面陈述。收到的前 20 个非政府组织的陈述将由大会和会议管理部未经正式编辑作为正式文件印发，但须翻译成理事会的三种工作语文(英文、法文和西班牙文)。与前几年一样，秘书处将审查和视需要对书面陈述做少量修改。口头陈述申请可在 2015 年 11 月11 日至 2016 年 4 月 8 日期间提出。将按“先来后到”的顺序，将非政府组织发言者列入发言名单，但要取决于时间能否安排上。不能保证在届会上能做口头发言。
27. The submission of NGO written statements would be accepted from 11 November until 11 December. The first 20 NGO statements received would be issued by the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management as official documents, without formal editing, but translated into the three working languages of the Council (English, French and Spanish). As in previous years, the Secretariat would review and lightly edit the written statements, as needed. Submission of requests to deliver oral statements would be possible from 11 November 2015 until 8 April 2016. The inclusion of NGO presenters on the list of speakers would be made on a “first come, first served” basis and would depe nd on the time available. There would be no guarantees that an oral statement could be delivered at the session.
