The closed lunch sessions of the IUCN Workinggroup The Hague are held four times per year and are intended for members of parliament, representatives of governmental departments, business, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations. The sessions are governed by the Chatham House Rule, which prohibits quoting participants in reports from the sessions, intended to stimulate an open and frank debate.

The venue of the working group sessions is Societeit De Witte or Perscentrum Nieuwspoort. Participation is on invitation only.
