Background information on the Committee on NGOs
The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations is a standing committee of the Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC). It reports directly to ECOSOC, and the two reports of its annual regular session
(usually at the end of January) and resumed session (in May) include draft resolutions or decisions on
matters calling for action by the Council. The Committee has 19 members who are elected on the basis of
equitable geographical representation: 5 members from African States; 4 members from Asian States; 2
members from Eastern European States; 4 members from Latin American and Caribbean States; and 4
members from Western European and other States.
The term of office of its members is four years. The membership for the Committee for the four-year term
beginning on 1 January 2015 and expiring on 31 December 2018, includes, in alphabetical order:
Azerbaijan, Burundi, China, Cuba, Greece, Guinea, India, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Israel, Mauritania,
Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russian Federation, South Africa, Sudan, Turkey, United States of America,
Uruguay and Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of).
The current terms of reference of the Committee are set out in Resolution 1996/31 of 25 July 1996. In its
proceedings the Committee is guided by the Rules of Procedure of the Council. The main tasks of the
Committee are:
•
•
•
•
Consideration of applications for consultative status and requests for reclassification submitted by
NGOs;
Consideration of quadrennial reports submitted by NGOs in General and Special categories;
Implementation of the provisions of Council resolution 1996/31 and the monitoring of the
consultative relationship;
Any other issues which ECOSOC may request the Committee to consider.
Online Access to Documentation of the Committee
Online access to the documentation of the Committee (the “Paperless Committee” system) is restricted to
members of the Committee.
Since the information posted online through the Paperless system contains detailed administrative and
financial information about the applicant organizations, official documents that pertain to applications from
NGOs and reclassification of status for NGOs in consultative status are therefore considered restricted
documents. Summaries of quadrennial reports by NGOs, as reflected by the document numbers indicated
in the text are freely available without access restrictions, from the Official Document System of the
United Nations: http://ods.un.org. Documents can be retrieved by typing in the document number.
