Toward a Consultative Relationship between the United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations?
Gunter, Michael M.
Abstract
What do consultative relationships entail? What has been the impact on United Nations policies? What has gone wrong? Why has the consultative relationship failed to live up to expectations?
What are the chances for ameliorating the present malaise and moving towards a new, reinvigorated consultative relationship? This article will address these questions now being raised in the current discussions about revitalizing ECOSOC.
