The following is copied from the UN site:
"How does DPI assist NGOs?"
The DPI/NGO Section at United Nations Headquarters provides a number of services to its associated organizations. For example, the Section: Provides ground passes which grant a main and an alternate NGO representative access to the Dag Hammarskjold Library.
My question to all you here is: Other than the privilege of having immediate access to the said "Library," what did the WTS have to gain by its being an NGO?
Preservation of charitable status?
Englishman.
the UN site says they get..........
access to open meetings of United Nations bodies
invitations to briefings/seminars and consultations. conferences on political and economic, social and humanitarian issues.
An NGO rescource centre with documents publication, press releases and regular mailings and information materials.
Use of the Dag Hammarskjold Library
Assistance in designing and organising educational and information programmes and advice on linking UN issues with local, national and organizational concerns.
Help in identifying and obtaining bachground information audio visual materials, speakers for workshops, seminars and conferences.
Perhaps they want to make sure their publishing videos and magazines are as professional as possible..after all, it's the main part of the WTBS...
