The NGO Committee on "Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns"

On 24 October 2001 a group at the UN in Geneva set up the Spiritual Caucus for the purpose of adding a spiritual amd ethical component to United Nations' work. On 24 October 2002 Member Organisations in consultative status with ECOSOC applied to CONGO for it to be made a standing Committee of CONGO. The application was supported  by the regulatory number of over twenty Member Organisations  which submitted it to the CONGO Board at its Meeting in Vienna on 30-31 October 2002, where it was discussed and adopted. Since this Committee has been officially adopted, NGOs that want to join are welcome. Following a year of work and discussions with NGOs based in New York, the CSVGC-New York came into being at the end of 2004.
