Documento preparado por el Panel de alto nivel de Naciones Unidas sobre Sociedad Civil.

We hope that this paper is a useful tool in what is likely to be the two most important contributions of the Panel: · Identifying changes in the rules and procedures that would unblock obstacles to improved UN-civil society relations and providing compelling arguments for those changes, taking into account contemporary geo-political trends; and · Examining important innovations and path-breaking work within the international system and advising on how today’s best practice could become tomorrow’s norm throughout the UN.
