Relationship with the United Nations as a non-governmental organization with consultative status to the Economic and Social Council; presence of permanent representative at the United Nations and New York office[edit]
"The outstanding development in the relationship of the Bahá'í International Community to the United Nations was the accreditation of the Community as a non-governmental organization with consultative status to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The Bahá'í International Community now has a permanent representative at the United Nations and maintains an office in New York."
