Le statut d’ONG consultative auprès de l’Ecosoc ouvre aussi de fait, d’après la brochure, les portes du controversé Comité des droits de l’homme :
« Even though this body is not subsidiary of ECOSOC, only NGOs in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council can be accredited to participate in the Human Rights Council’s sessions as observers.
As observers, NGOs are able, among other things, to :
- Attend and observe all proceedings of the Council with the exception of the Council deliberations under the Complaints Procedure ;
- Submit written statements to the Human Rights Council ;
- Make oral interventions to the Human Rights Council ;
- Participate in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) which involves a review of the human rights records of all 192 United Nations Member States once every four years ;
- Participate in debates, interactive dialogues, panel discussions and informal meetings ;
- Organize “parallel events” on issues relevant to the work of the Human Rights Council.
An NGO in consultative status with ECOSOC that wishes to attend a session of the Human Rights Council must send a letter of request for accreditation to its Secretariat in Geneva, well in advance of the relevant session. »
