United Nations Department of Public Information, NGO Section, “Letter 'To Whom It May Concern' re association of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York with DPI”

4 de marzo de 2004 · pp.1-2 · Paul Hoeffel, Chief, NGO Section, Department of Public Information · United Nations

“This organization applied for association with DPI in 1991 and was granted association in 1992. By accepting association with DPI, the organization agreed to meet criteria for association, including support and respect of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes with its constituents and to a broader audience about UN activities. In October 2001, the Main Representative of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York to the United Nations, Ciro Aulicino, requested termination of its association with DPI. Following this request, the DPI made a decision to disassociate the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York as of 9 October 2001.”

The letter also reproduces the paragraph 'included in all letters sent to NGOs approved for association in 1992' (its ‘principle purpose’ [sic]: 'redissemination of information … about the United Nations'; asks NGOs to send 'issues of your relevant publications') and lists the criteria: share the ideals of the UN Charter; not-for-profit; demonstrated interest in UN issues; commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes.

“In response to inquiries, the UN reposted a 2004 letter regarding this association (paraphrase of page content); links to 'Watchtower Letter - Paul Hoeffel-2004.pdf' and JPG images of the same”

Live UN page confirming the association and hosting the 2004 letter. A January 2017 screenshot of the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library 'Ask DAG' FAQ ('The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society was affiliated with the Department of Public Information (DPI) of the United Nations from 1992 to 2001') was viewed on jwfacts.com.

Nota de confianza. Opened the live un.org page (content paraphrased by the fetch tool; PDF opened separately). The Ask DAG FAQ itself no longer surfaces in the ask.un.org search. Downgraded to supported after review: the page was opened but the wording or date recorded here was tool-summarised, translated or inferred rather than confirmed by eye; re-read before upgrading.
