Studiorum was Granted Special Consultative Status in the UN

The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, which is a permanent committee of the UN Economic and Social Council, announced its recommendation in a public announcement on 17th May 2011 for granting Special consultative status to 9 organizations, among which was the Center for Regional Policy Research and Cooperation “Studiorum”. This was later also confirmed in the Committee’s report on the work on the extended session of the Committee in May 2011, in which 144 organizations were granted a recommendation for Special consultative status.

Recently the application was also accepted by the Economic and Social Council and CRPRC Studiorum were included in the list of organizations with Special consultative status.

Special consultative status is granted to non-governmental organizations which specialize and work with at least part of the issues covered by the work of the Economic and Social Council. Hence, the organization itself has the opportunity, with its experience and knowledge, to contribute to certain aspects of the work of the UN, as well as a better access to various mechanisms of the UN.

Currently there are 2 406 organizations worldwide, which were granted Special consultative status, 13 of which are from Macedonia.
