I hate to be a party pooper, but there are some real factual problems with this presentation.
Paul Gillies can't be an NGO, he is an individual not an organization (governmental or non-governmental). He might have incorporated as Paul Gillies, Inc. but I doubt it. Therefore he likely registered as representing an NGO, probably the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania, Inc.
Registering to speak at a conference, going before tribunals, etc. is not and never has been something the organization shies away from when it comes to the cause of establishing religious freedom in countries. I think it is a double-standard to say "don't get involved in social issues" and then do this, but it is one activity they openly admit to, defend, and even seem proud of. To be hypocritical they would have to speak out against doing so. They don't.
"NGO" does not have any connection whatsoever to "the UN." It is a business term like NPO (non-profit/not-for-profit organization) which the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is also. NGO classifies an organization as being non-governmental versus governmental in nature, just like NPO classifies an organization as being non-profit versus for-profit in nature.
The UN adopted this business world term, it didn't invent it. The meaning is no different as used by the UN. Calling the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society a non-governmental organization is a compliment to them, even according to their own doctrines.
