Decision of the Intergovernmental Committee: 18.COM 16

The Committee,

Having examined document LHE/23/18.COM/16, the requests for accreditation and the quadrennial reports submitted by the non-governmental organizations accredited by the General Assembly at its third, fifth and seventh sessions in 2010, 2014 and 2018, respectively,
Recalling Article 9 of the Convention and Chapter III.2.2 of the Operational Directives,
Further recalling Resolutions GA 7, 5.GA 6, 7.GA 11, 9.GA 7 of the General Assembly, and Decisions 10.COM 16, 14.COM 17 and 16.COM 15 of the Committee,
Considers that the fifty-eight organizations listed in Annex I to this document satisfy the criteria set out in paragraph 91 of the Operational Directives and recommends to the General Assembly that they be accredited to act in an advisory capacity to the Committee;
Further considers that the fifteen organizations listed in Annex II to this document do not satisfy the criteria set out in paragraph 91 of the Operational Directives;
Also considers that eighty organizations listed in Annex III to this document satisfy the criteria set out in the Operational Directives and decides to maintain their accreditation to perform advisory functions for the Committee;
Further decides that the accreditation of the one organization listed in Annex IV a) and of the ten organizations listed in Annex IV b) to this document be terminated since they have not submitted a quadrennial report illustrating their contribution and commitment to the Committee’s work;
Considers furthermore that the geographical distribution of the accredited NGOs still needs to be improved and invites States Parties from under-represented Electoral Groups to encourage NGOs operating within their territories and meeting the criteria for accreditation to submit requests for accreditation at the earliest opportunity;
Takes note of the collaboration between the Secretariat and UNESCO Field Offices in reviewing requests for accreditation and renewals of NGOs, and encourages the Secretariat to pursue this adjusted procedure in future accreditation cycles.
