Annual DPI/NGO Conference will provide the forum for a dynamic and
diverse gathering of civil society representatives in the week preceding the
2005 World Summit of international heads of state. More than 2,500
representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are expected to
gather in New York September 7-9 to demonstrate their support for the work
of the UN in its 60th year, especially its efforts to eradicate poverty,
promote human rights and enhance collective human security through
international cooperation and partnerships with civil society.
