90th General Session of the World Assembly of Delegates

The 90^th Annual General Session of the World Assembly of Delegates of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE), took place from Sunday 21 to Thursday 25 May 2023, face-to-face in Paris.   

During this important institutional event, the World Assembly adopted administrative and technical resolutions and held elections for vacancies in some of the governing bodies of the Organisation. The 90^th General Session brought together representatives of 182 WOAH Members (now 183 with the addition of a new Member), representatives from international organisations that have signed an official agreement with WOAH, other international and regional organisations, observer countries and territories, WOAH key stakeholders and special guests. As part of the 90^th General Session, WOAH proposed an Animal Health Forum focused on avian influenza. This innovative Forum provided a unique opportunity for the Delegates and partners of the Organisation to discuss in depth this disease which has affected many Members over the last years.

The 90^th General Session was conducted with simultaneous interpretation in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Russian and, except for the administrative session reserved for elections, all daily sessions were webcast live via the global website, linked below.
