UN Consultative Status

LJF holds Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), recognizing our competence in human rights and development.

What this enables:

  • Attend and observe relevant UN conferences, forums, and sessions.
  • Submit written statements and, when appropriate, deliver oral interventions on agenda items.
  • Organize side events with UN entities and Member States to spotlight Bangladesh-specific human rights issues.
  • Collaborate with UN agencies, Special Procedures, and other NGOs for data sharing and joint advocacy.

How LJF uses this platform:

  • Elevate country perspectives and community evidence in global discussions.
  • Support coalitions and facilitate South-South knowledge exchange.
  • Channel research and documentation into policy recommendations.

Accountability:

  • Compliance with UN NGO Branch guidelines, including quadrennial reporting on activities related to ECOSOC’s work.
