FGI UN Saga of Accreditation
Vulnerable people are prevented from gaining representation at the United Nations by a committee dominated by countries with repressive regimes, according to concerned NGOs.
Muse Tegegne from Felege Guihon International, which supports social and human development in the Horn of Africa, said the organisation was forced to spend “a significant portion” of its meagre budget on flights to New York, as well as hospitality to entertain committee members during a lengthy battle to get UN accreditation from 1999.
