Enjoying consultative status with the United Nations since 1981, the CETIM is able to present interventions to the United Nations human rights protection bodies (Human Rights Council and its subsidiary bodies, and treaty bodies) to submit cases of human rights violations and present proposals in terms of new international norms. These interventions can take the form of oral statements or written statements (case studies).
All the statements made by CETIM to the UN since 1993 are available in electronic format. Some are available in three languages (English, Spanish and French, ). Others are available in English only.
