Summary
In 2022, the UN Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) 2021-2025 agreed to establish, building on work already done at the regional level, a global, intergovernmental, points of contact (POC) Directory, with the main objective to "[e]nhance interaction and cooperation between States, and in doing so, promote international peace and security as well as increase transparency and predictability." The establishment of the Directory was welcomed by the 2023 UN General Assembly resolution 78/237.

UNIDIR will organize an event dedicated to the Directory at the margins of the eightyth session of the UN First Committee, focusing on how to further improve the Directory. After more than a year since the establishment of the Directory, the event in question will aim to collect diverse national experiences participating in the Directory and seek suggestions for its improvement or further development, including in the context of the Global Mechanism.
