ECOSOC

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), established in 1945 by the UN Charter as one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, recognizes that global socio-economic inequalities constitute a fundamental challenge to human dignity, peace, and sustainable development. ECOSOC organizes international conferences, prepares draft conventions, and oversees commissions and subsidiary bodies that operate under its authority. Although significant progress has been achieved through the Sustainable Development Goals and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, billions of people still face hardships in areas such as education, income, healthcare, gender equality, and access to basic resources. These disparities are further aggravated by climate change, technological divides, and uneven economic growth among nations. The Council is the most influential platform for raising debate and innovative thinking among members in order to prevent potential outcomes of major issues.
