Comment by Heidi: Further, our members were personally in New York during the deliberations concerning ECOSOC status for NGOs. Additional papers were sent by fax to answer directly their questions.
The commentary of an European member deciding these status’: ” … if you would have your headquarter in Geneva, instead in Delhi, you would have had your status since years”.
