The governing bodies of the IOPC Funds meet two or three times per year. Ordinarily, meetings of the IOPC Funds governing bodies are held at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London, which also houses the IOPC Funds offices. However, in the past, the IOPC Funds have had the pleasure of holding sessions of the governing bodies in Morocco (2011), Monaco (2008) and Canada (2007) at the kind and generous invitation of the respective Governments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the refurbishment of the IMO meeting facilities, five meetings of the governing bodies were held remotely between December 2020 and March 2022.
Next meeting: 5-8 November 2024
The next meeting of the IOPC Funds’ governing bodies will take place in person from Tuesday 5 to Friday 8 November 2024. It will be complemented by a passive streaming service and will include the following sessions:
- 1992 Fund Assembly — Twenty-ninth session (92A29)
- 1992 Fund Executive Committee — Eighty-third session (92EC83)
- Supplementary Fund Assembly — Twenty-first session (SA21)
Induction Course
The IOPC Funds will run an induction course for representatives of the 1992 Fund Member States immediately prior to the sessions of the governing bodies, on the afternoon of Monday 4 November 2024, at the Funds’ headquarters in London.
Registration for the 2024 Induction Course is now closed and all places on the course have been allocated.
Delegates interested in being added to the waiting list for this course are kindly requested to email the Secretariat at externalrelations@iopcfunds.org.
Meeting Agenda & Timetable
The invitation and provisional agenda, including a provisional timetable for the sessions, have been issued to all Member States, and States and organisations with observer status.
Meeting Documents
Documents issued for IOPC Funds’ meetings are made available via the Document Services section, where delegates can also register for the meeting and access circulars, resolutions and documents for every meeting of the IOPC Funds’ governing bodies since 1978, including the full Records of Decisions.
Credentials
Member States are required to submit credentials in line with the governing bodies’ Rules of Procedure in order to actively participate in meetings. Full guidance is provided to States in circular IOPC/2024/Circ.6, but in order to assist States in avoiding common errors or oversights when preparing letters of credentials, the Secretariat has put together this simple instructional video. Any questions regarding the process should be sent to conference@iopcfunds.org.
