Continuing Its 2023 Resumed Session, Non-Governmental Organizations Committee Recommends 4 Entities for Status, Defers Action on 80 Others
Subsidiary Body Also Takes Note of 280 New Quadrennial Reports
The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations continued its 2023 resumed session today, recommending four entities for special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council and deferring action on 80 others.
The 19-member Committee considers applications for consultative status and requests for reclassification submitted by non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Once an application has been reviewed and approved by the Committee it is considered recommended for general, special or roster status based on such criteria as the applicant’s mandate, governance and financial regime. Organizations granted general and special status can attend meetings of the Council and issue statements, while those with general status can also speak during meetings and propose agenda items. Those with roster status can only attend meetings.
Action on a wide range of applications was deferred because Committee members requested further information from the candidates about issues including details of their organizations’ sources of funding, expenditures, activities, partners and areas of operation.
In the afternoon, the Committee held its customary interactive dialogue period with one previously deferred NGO, the Southern Poverty Law Center (United States), which remained deferred pending further review of its financial statement.
The Committee also took note of 280 new quadrennial reports presented for the period 2017 to 2020 and 2018 to 2021, deferring six of them, as Member States posed questions about them.
The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations will meet again at 10 a.m. on Friday, 19 May, to continue its resumed session.

The Center has been in existence since the 1970s, she said, recalling that it began as a law firm that filed litigation against violent white supremacist organizations, such as the Ku Klux Klan. Over the years it has grown both in size and in mission, she said, noting that it expanded its legal services work into other areas of litigation, such as voting rights, criminal justice reform, economic justice and children’s rights. Highlighting several specific projects, she pointed to the Intelligence Project, which conducts comprehensive monitoring and reporting on the activities of domestic extremists and hate groups in the United States.

The representative of the Southern Poverty Law Center said the review process took place in August 2022. The Center did participate in the review and traveled to Geneva with a delegation that included directly impacted people, she noted, adding that, during the review, formerly incarcerated people shared their experiences with solitary confinement, forced labour and having their voting rights taken away. Further, the Center will also be participating in consultations for the upcoming review of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The representative of the United States underscored the incredible work that the Center does and urged other Committee members to consider its accreditation. “We appreciate the fact that you hold us accountable,” she said to the Organization’s representative, stressing the important role of civil society.
The representative of Cuba pointed to the “reckoning and accountability remains to be done in the country that we are in today”, adding that the Committee will still need to follow procedure and go through the organization’s financial records.
