NGO ACCREDITATION

On Wednesday, 15 January, delegates considered NGO accreditation. INCD Chair Kjellén noted that the accreditation of the 23 new NGOs contained in documents A/AC.241/9/Add.13 and Corr.1 would bring the total to 360. The accreditations were approved. Following adoption, Oman, on behalf of the Arab countries, and supported by Syria and Iran, expressed their reservation on the decision to accredit EcoPeace because it has activities in Arab countries under occupation.
