URI has recently received official notice that the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations has granted URI Special Consultative Status. This will raise the visibility and status of URI in the world and will open the doors for the voices of URI to be heard.
The role of ECOSOC NGO will allow URI more full participation than our
former status as an NGO with the UN Department of Public Information.
We will be able to contribute to the agendas, programmes, and goals of the United Nations by having additional representatives, attending hearings that are being held on topics of interest to
the global URI community, and presenting relevant input both through oral participation and written documentation. Our ECOSOC status is one more stepping stone for URI's global activity to promote peace, justice, and healing for the Earth
and all living beings.
