implement the resolution. More information on the Committee’s
assistance mechanism can be found on the website of the Committee

seeking to submit formal assistance requests to facilitate
implementation of their obligations under the resolution and provides
the basic information to those that offered assistance to initially
consider such requests. This template may also be used to facilitate
consultations between a requesting State, the Committee and/or
interested assistance providers.
Requests for assistance should be submitted to the Committee by
sending a Note Verbale to the Chair of the Committee through the

template or they can choose to send an explanatory memorandum
outlining their assistance needs.. If assistance is required in more

each one. The Group of Experts, supporting the work of the Committee,
can be contacted for further information or to obtain clarifications
