IN THE CORRIDORS

Some NGO representatives have expressed disappointment and confusion after exchanges in which a small number of delegations raised questions about the modalities of NGO contributions to the PrepCom. Secretary-General N'Dow has met with a number of delegations to press Habitat's commitment to breaking new ground in drawing the NGOs and local authorities into a partnership, in accordance with its General Assembly mandate. It has also emerged that a number of delegations have specific reservations. One delegation hopes to raise questions about an accredited Libyan NGO. Another delegation has suggested that NGOs have an anti-Islamic bias.
