IN THE CORRIDORS II

Long-standing discontent within the NGO community may come to a head this week. At a time of growing recognition of the important role of NGOs and representatives of major groups in the work of the UN, NGOs are dissatisfied with their treatment by the staff of the UN's NGO Unit.
