ICPC United Nations Consultative Status Approved
The International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC) has secured United Nations consultative status, allowing the organization to participate directly in discussions affecting the subsea cable industry. This ICPC United Nations consultative status gives ICPC the ability to engage in key international meetings and conferences without additional approvals.
With this designation, ICPC can attend special interest meetings and international conferences without seeking sponsorship or special accreditation. The organization can also submit written and oral statements during relevant United Nations sessions, strengthening its influence on global policy.
Earlier this year, ICPC appointed Alice de Juvigny, an associate at Squire Patton Boggs (https://www.squirepattonboggs.com), as its United Nations Observer Representative (UNOR). She will lead ICPC’s engagement with the United Nations and manage responsibilities tied to this new role.
Founded in 1958, ICPC works to protect international submarine cables from natural and human-made hazards. The organization includes more than 170 members across 60 countries, including cable operators, manufacturers, service providers, and governments. It also serves as a platform for sharing technical, legal, and environmental expertise. Learn more at https://www.iscpc.org.
