The
International Catholic Organizations Information Center
(ICOIC) is a unique Catholic presence at the United
Nations. It supports representatives of International
Catholic Organizations (ICOs), religious orders and
congregations, and other Catholic organizations
affiliated with the United Nations as non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). Established over 60 years ago it
works towards systemic change in the pursuit of peace
and justice by means of mutual support and
collaboration.
The Center serves as a gathering place
where members and other individuals regularly share
information on current topics related to the Economic
and Social Council and other bodies or agencies of the
United Nations. The Center makes a contribution to the
world community by outreaching to the faithful and
education on mutual concerns of the Catholic Church
and the United Nations.
