It is a member of the Conference of Nongovernmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO) since 1985. In 2009, IAGG was awarded the ECOSOC Special Consultative Status allowing our organization to make oral and written statements.
Every year, IAGG participates at the UN General Conference of the Economic and Social Commission (ECOSOC). This year, Professor Alain FRANCO (IAGG Secretary General) attended the 48th session of its Commission for Social Development that was held from 3rd to 12th February, 2010. The theme chosen was "Social integration" and it was an opportunity to :
- confirm IAGG's position concerning the importance of "A Universal Respect of Human Rights for Older People"
- support the IAGG representatives to the UN for their hard work and involvement in Aging and Older People issues
- strengthen collaboration with other fellow NGOs dedicated to Aging
- develop new tools to enhance the future of Aging People
