Consultative Status with Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), United Nations

In April 2003, the ECOSOC has formally granted the Special Consutative Status to our Council.

A Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC is more than just another international affiliation for our Council. Given the functions and powers of the ECOSOC, the Special Consultative Status shall facilitate us to keep abreast of the global social development agenda and concerns and to strengthen our international network with not only the United Nations agencies, but also those international organizations having consultative status with it.

After the Council's restructuring in 2001, one of the major functions of the Council is to monitor the implementation of welfare-related international Conventions in Hong Kong. The Standing Committee on International and Regional Networking has decided to study some of the most important international conventions that are deemed most relevant to the sector and monitor their implementations in Hong Kong.
