ECLJ Wins Approval for Consultative Status before U.N.

The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations of the United Nations (U.N.) granted special consultative status to our European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) based in Strasbourg, France.  As the U.N. Committee noted, the European Centre for Law and Justice promotes freedom of religion and speech through international human rights law.  We have had two hearings before the United Nations.  Last week, we received approval from the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations.  The Committees recommendations now go to the U.N. in Geneva for final approval.

The ECLJ does a tremendous amount of work globally in defense of liberty, freedom of religion and defense of life.  Being granted special consultative status by the United Nations will enhance the ECLJs worldwide defense of freedoms.  We are currently working on major projects in Russia, Israel, France and Turkey.  We are optimistic that the granting of this special consultative status will enhance the important work of the European Centre for Law and Justice.
