Workshop on diplomatic report writing  United Nations Headquarters, New York   Objectives  The drafting of reports, briefs and statements is a crucial part of a diplomat's professional tasks and, in view of the complexity of the subjects addressed, among the most difficult. This workshop thus aims at familiarizing participants with the basic principles of report writing and the analytical skills required, as well as the structural aspects involved in reports exchanged between missions and capitals, and vice versa. Organization This workshop focuses on practical exercises and requires the participants' intensive and active involvement. The participants should therefore come prepared for hands-on training exercises. In particular, they will be asked to form working groups to draft a number of reports which will in due course be individually analysed and commented upon.
