Chair and Bureau of the Committee of Permanent Representatives

The work of the Committee of Permanent Representatives is coordinated by a five-member Bureau, consisting of a chair, three vice-chairs and a rapporteur, elected, usually by acclamation, from among Committee members, for a period of two years (UNEP Governing Council decision 19/32), that begins on 1 July following their election. 

In electing its officers, the Committee ensures that each of the five regional groups of the United Nations is represented. The positions of the chair and the rapporteur are subject to rotation among the five regional groups according to an established pattern.

Past and future Bureau meetings are listed on our meeting portal.

The current chair of the Committee of Permanent Representatives is H.E. Mr. Sultan Hajiyev Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to UNEP.
