In accordance with the UN Charter, it not only consults with Member States but also engages with relevant NGOs on matters within its mandate.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe <strong>Special Consultative Status<\/strong> is granted to NGOs with particular expertise in specific fields of activity. After a review process by the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs, composed of 19 Member States, organizations that obtain this status are able to participate in UN conferences and intergovernmental meetings. They are also granted the opportunity to contribute both in writing and orally.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLeveraging this status, we will continue to provide valuable insights and recommendations in the field of conflict resolution and actively contribute to the advancement of peace in the international community.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n<\/div><!-- \/l-container__narrow -->\r\n<\/div><!-- \/section-1 -->","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-475","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/accept-int.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/accept-int.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/accept-int.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/accept-int.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
