The Information session with States Parties will take place on 8 September 2025 in a hybrid format at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris, and online. All States Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport are invited to participate. In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Convention, participation is open to Governmental representatives designated by their respective States Parties.
This session follows the Global Written Consultation (3 February - 14 March 2025) and the four formal meetings of the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG), which were held respectively on: 27 May 2024, 5 September 2024, 6 November 2024, and 6 May 2025, allowing States Parties to inclusively provide input on the reform process of the Convention.
This Information session represents a key step in the reform process by offering States Parties a final opportunity to review the consolidated proposals, share perspectives and seek clarifications before their submission for consideration at COP10 (20-22 October 2025) through the Silent Procedure.
