The United Nations Cocoa Conference, 2010, was held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, on 19 April 2010 and from 21 to 25 June 2010. The Parties to the existing
Agreement and all States members of UNCTAD, as well as specialized agencies of the United Nations, were invited to participate in the Conference.

The Conference had before it the draft text of a new International Cocoa Agreement, which was the outcome of the discussions held by a Working Group established by the International Cocoa Council.

The Conference was opened on 19 April 2010 by Mr. Kwabena Baah-Duodu, Officerin-Charge of the Special Unit on Commodities, UNCTAD, and elected H.E. Ambassador
Guy-Alain Emmanuel Gauze (Côte d’Ivoire) as President of the Conference and Mr. Max Schnellmann (Switzerland) as Vice-President of the Conference. It also adopted the agenda as contained in document TD/COCOA.10/1. The Conference decided to postpone the remainder of the meeting to 21–25 June 2010 because numerous government representatives from cocoa-producing and consuming countries were unable to attend due to the cancellation of flights into Geneva resulting from the volcanic eruption in Iceland. All other items under the agenda were taken up when the Conference resumed in June. Ms. Lisanne Losier was Secretary to the Conference and Mr. Carlos Moreno acted as Legal Adviser to the Conference.

At its plenary on 21 June 2010, Mr. Petko Draganov, Deputy Secretary-General of UNCTAD, and Mr. Jan Vingerhoets, Executive Secretary of ICCO, made welcoming
statements and provided an historical overview and a summary of the preparation for the successor agreement on Cocoa. The Conference adopted its rules of procedure
(TD/COCOA.10/2) and established a Negotiating Committee to consider the articles of the agreement in closed session. It also elected Mr. Hagen Streichert (Germany) as Chair of the Negotiating Committee and H.E. Mrs. Jean Kekedo (Papua New Guinea) as its Vice-Chair. The Conference completed its work on 25 June 2010 when, at its closing plenary, it adopted one resolution (TD/COCOA.10/4) and established the text of the International Cocoa Agreement, 2010.

On 14 December 2010, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, acting in his capacity as depositary, issued a depositary notification (C.N.810.2010.TREATIES-2)
drawing the attention of all parties to an error in article 62 (3) of the authentic text of the Agreement as well as the certified true copies circulated by depositary notification C.N.497.2010.TREATIES-2 of 30 September 2010, whereby the term "fifth cocoa year" should have read "tenth cocoa year". In accordance with the established depositary practice, a period of 90 days from the date of the notification was set for any objection to be communicated to the Secretary-General. No objections were received and the proposedcorrection has been effected to the text of the agreement.
