World Civil Society Forum

Mandat International is a non-profit-making non-governmental organization which has as its principal missions to welcome and help non-governmental delegates (in particular those from developing countries) coming to Geneva to participate in international conferences. In order to strengthen international cooperation, we are participating in the organization of a World Civil Society Forum which will take place from the 14th to the 19th of July 2002 in Geneva.

For this occasion we expect the participation of representatives of civil society from all over the entire world, especially from NGOs. The themes to be covered will be:
- Information society
- Civil society - International Organization cooperation
- Health promotion
- Environment, commerce and sustainable development
- Indigenous women
- Human rights and humanitarian law
- The right of people to self-determination
- Civil society - private sector cooperation
- Peace and disarmament

If your organization works in one of these areas and you are interested in
participating in the forum, please send us an email indicating the name of
the people or persons to contact.

Moreover, on the internet site: { HYPERLINK

for the Forum (report of the preparatory meeting and the program of
activities), as well as a questionnaire to return to us as soon as possible
so that we can include your organization on the list of participants.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
