IN THE CORRIDORS

Many delegates and NGO representatives have expressed concern about the NGO accreditation process, and about the decisions that have resulted from that process. It appears as though entire categories of NGOs, such as those who are Taiwanese or Tibetan, as well as certain organizations, such as Catholics for Free Choice, have been or may be denied accreditation. The EU and US delegations have stated they know of numerous cases that should be reassessed. The Bureau has formed a closed working group to evaluate the situation.
