	Consultative Status for NGOs at the UN
		This chapter outlines how the consultative arrangements were established in the early years in ECOSOC; the formal rights of NGOs; their other activities; and how they now influence the political agenda and policy-making throughout the UN system.
		As a result of these four factors, the numbers of NGOs with consultative status grew steadily, to the point that in the early 1990s ECOSOC was dealing with nearly a thousand NGOs.
		After a year in which the new NGOs were denied full access to consultative status facilities, the first ECOSOC Decision was overturned and the environmental NGOs were brought in as another section of the Roster operating by the established rules for consultation under the provisions of Resolution 1296.

	NGO COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS SUSPENSION OF CONSULTATIVE STATUS FOR ‘REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS’

Meeting in the morning and the afternoon, the Committee also took note of four quadrennial reports, deferred consideration of another report and deferred four decisions on consultative status.

Cuba’s representative said his delegation would have preferred a withdrawal of consultative status for a year but it would be flexible in seeking a suspension.
		On the recommendation to suspend consultative status, voting in favour were China, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Russian Federation, Sudan, Turkey, and Zimbabwe. Voting against were France, Germany, Peru, Romania, United States and Chile. Abstaining were Colombia, India, Senegal and Cameroon.
