R.I & U.N since 1945
• Rotary International's relationship with the United Nations dates back to 1945, when 49 Rotarians were members of the 29 delegations to the UN Charter Conference in San Francisco, California, USA.
• During the UN's first decade, Rotary actively participated in UN sessions by sending observers to major meetings and promoting the United Nations in Rotary publications.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
In 1945
49 Rotary members served in 29
delegations to the United Nations
Charter Conference.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
R.I & UNESCO
• Rotary also has a special historical relationship with the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
• In fact, it was a 1942 London Rotary conference on international cultural and educational exchanges that provided a key impetus to establish UNESCO.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
In 1942, British Rotarians
convened a conference to plan a world at peace. Attended by ministers of education and observers from around the world, and chaired by Past RI President Sydney W. Pascall, the conference led to the establishment of UNESCO in 1946.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
Rotary, UNICEF & WHO
• Are the spearheading partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. The Initiative is the world’s largest ever public health endeavor, and has slashed polio cases by more than 99 per cent since its launch in 1988.
• With only FOUR countries yet to stop the virus, polio is tantalizingly close to becoming the first disease of the 21st century to be eradicated.
• Rotarians around the world have also donated over $500 million to polio eradication and advocated with governments to give more. Never before have individuals and the influence of the private sector played such a core role in a global public health effort.
Rotary and UNICEF, along with the World Health Organization

R.I & ECOSOC
• In addition, Rotary has maintained relations with the UN's Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) — a principle organ of the United Nations that oversees many specialized UN agencies, commissions, and other bodies — since ECOSOC’s founding in 1945.
• Rotary currently holds the highest consultative status offered to a nongovernmental organization (NGO) by ECOSOC.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
Consultative Status with ECOSOC
• The first avenue by which non-governmental organizations took a role in formal UN deliberations was through the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
• 41 NGOs were granted consultative status by the council in 1946.
• By 1992 more that 700 NGOs had attained consultative status.• The number has been steadily increasing ever since to 2,719
organizations today.
• Consultative status is granted by ECOSOC upon recommendation of the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs, which is comprised of 19 Member States.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
Who is Eligible for Consultative Status?
• NGO must have been in existence for at least two years,• must have an established headquarters, • a democratically adopted constitution, • authority to speak for its members, • a representative structure, • appropriate mechanisms of accountability and democratic
and transparent decision-making processes. • The basic resources of the organization must be derived in
the main part from contributions of the national affiliates or other components or from individual members.
Organizations established by governments or intergovernmental agreements are not considered NGOs.
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
How to obtain Consultative Status with ECOSOC
• To begin the process of applying for consultative status, an organization must submit a letter of intent to the NGO Section of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), also known as the Secretariat. The letter should be on the organization's letterhead and signed by its secretary-general or president.
• Once the NGO section receives the letter of intent, it will mail the application package containing the questionnaire and all the background materials to the organization. The application and questionnaire is then completed by the NGO applying for status.
• When an application becomes part of the agenda of the NGO Committee a letter is sent to the NGO informing them of the upcoming session and inviting to send no more than two representatives to be present during the session.
• The Committee meets twice a year to decide which NGOs applying for consultative status it will recommend to the ECOSOC Council.
• The Committee recommendations are published in a report and submitted to the next ECOSOC meeting for final approval.
• NGOs granted General or Special consultative status must submit to the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, every fourth year, a brief report of their activities, in particular regarding their contribution to the work of the United Nations (Quadrennial Report).
RI Representative to UN-ESCWA 2006-2007 - Michel P. Jazzar
There are three categories of status
• General consultative status is reserved for large international NGOs whose area of work covers most of the issues on the agenda of ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies. [Rotary International].
• Special consultative status is granted to NGOs which have a special competence in, and are concerned specifically with, only a few of the fields of activity covered by the ECOSOC.
• Organizations that apply for consultative status but do not fit in any of the other categories are usually included in the Roster. These NGOs tend to have a rather narrow and/or technical focus

Débats ~ ECOSOC
3. Le Comité a décidé, au terme d’un long débat, de reporter l’examen du rapport quadriennal de «Human Rights Watch», soucieux de répondre aux préoccupations de certaines délégations. En effet, les représentants de l’Iran, de la Chine, de Cuba, du Zimbabwe, du Soudan et de l’Inde, tout en reconnaissant le travail remarquable en faveur des droits de l’homme réalisé par cette ONG, lui ont reproché parfois de manquer d’objectivité. Ils ont donc souhaité des informations sur les critères que cette ONG utilise pour choisir et sélectionner ses représentants, la nature de ses travaux ainsi que leur localisation.
4. Le Comité a décidé de reporter l’examen de la demande d ’admission au statut consultatif de l’ONG «Anti-violence Center» à la demande du Pakistan qui a souhaité des informations complémentaires.

Gilbert Coutau – RI Representative to UN-Geneva
I read the document of Ambassadors Lovald and Jenie with interest. It holds very interesting information.But I was not able to find a concrete definition of the NGO that the UNO wanted to recognize as negociator, nor the necessary principles for this recognition. In my opinion, as I said it during our meeting in Evanston, such as a definition as well as principles are necessary to organize a profitable representation of the NGO in the UNO debates. These principles could be :1. representativeness2. independence3. transparency (statuts, management organs, financing)4. competence.

21 November, 2006 forum on
General Assembly and NGO Relations
The Office of the President of the 61st Session of the General Assembly and the United Nations Foundation are convening this forum to provide an opportunity for an informal dialogue between Member States and nongovernmental organizations on the future of the relationship between nongovernmental organizations and the General Assembly.
In the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document, World leaders welcomed the positive contributions of local authorities, the private sector and civil society, including non-governmental organizations, to the work of the United Nations and encouraged the continued dialogue between these actors and Member States.

La Commission spéciale plénière de la XXème session extraordinaire a achevé ce matin ses travaux entamés hier, sous la Présidence de M. Alvaro Mendosa e Moura (Portugal).
-- Drogue --• Le représentant du Rotary international, parlant aussi au nom du Lion's international,
a déclaré que les lois édictées par les gouvernements ne peuvent pas, à elles seules, éliminer les menaces sociales que fait peser l'abus de drogues. L'amélioration de la condition économique et sociale est le seul moyen par lequel on peut sortir les toxicomanes de leur détresse. En 1992, le Conseil des clubs de Rotary a adopté un Plan-programme pour fournir des alternatives aux jeunes et coopérer avec les programmes de l'ONU en vue de prévenir les abus de substances. Plus de 9000 clubs du Rotary sont aujourd'hui parties prenantes à ces programmes qui traitent aussi de la lutte contre la poliomyélite. L'expérience acquise dans la lutte contre la polio peut en effet être utile dans les initiatives de lutte contre les drogues.
