VI. Facilities at the WFCC and OPCW

The World Forum Theatre and the OPCW headquarters building have good access for the disabled due to their wide doorways and the absence of thresholds. There are lifts to all floors and disabled toilet facilities are available on every floor. Wheelchair places are available in the WFCC theatre (timely reservation is recommended) and there is also an induction loop for the hearing impaired.

Telephone and Internet facilities

Telephone booths can be found in the WFCC lobby. Telephone cards may be purchased from the Reception Desk for five or ten Euros each.

If you are calling from outside the Netherlands to The Hague, add the country code (31) and the city code (70) to the telephone number. From within the Netherlands, calls to The Hague should be preceded by 070. Calls within the city do not require a city code. The city code for Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport is 20.

Directory assistance for numbers within the Netherlands: 0900 8008. For international numbers: 0900 8418.

Internet computers for participants will be located in the foyer between the "Central America" and "South America" rooms. A business computer and printer will also be available in this area. Wireless Internet (“WiFi”) access will be available at no charge for participants with their own WiFi-ready devices in the World Forum Theatre, the Oceania Foyer (the delegates’ lounge at the WFCC), and the World Forum Convention Centre café.
