Civil society organisations with consultative status, which was introduced by the UN in 1996, are able to watch international conferences and other events, to present written and oral statements at these events, to organise parallel events, to have access to United Nations facilities, to benefit from opportunities to make new contacts and to create social networks with other institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The requirements for NGOs to gain consultative status at the ECOSOC are: the organisation\u00b4s work must be relevant to the work of the ECOSOC; it must have a transparent and democratic decision-making system and a democratically-adopted statute; it must have its own headquarters and an executive director and must have been in existence for at least two years, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n
