LEGAL NOTICE: Applications for media registration and/or accreditation are considered on a case-by-case basis and are reserved only for media professionals representing a bona fide media organization. The final decision on all applications rests with ITU, which reserves the right to deny or withdraw registration or accreditation of individuals whose actions or omissions run counter to the principles of the ITU Constitution and Convention, the Charter of the United Nations or established journalism ethics and standards. In this context, ITU may deny or revoke accreditation at any time, i.a., if it reasonably considers that (i) such accreditation is put to improper use or is being used to abuse the privileges so extended; (ii) the accredited individual does not respect the access and security policies in effect; or (iii) the conduct of the accredited individual does not respect the dignity, privacy or integrity of event participants or ITU officials. The media badge is strictly personal and ITU will confiscate any badge in the possession of any individual to whom it was not issued. Information provided to you by ITU on media accreditation processes for ITU events should not be communicated to third parties without ITU's prior consent. By submitting your request for registration and/or accreditation, you acknowledge and accept these conditions, and you agree to be included in ITU's media mailing list and receive press releases, media advisories and other media-related communications on behalf of ITU via email. You may remove yourself from this mailing list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of any of these emails.​ ​
