Abstract

States still are the major subjects of international law in normalization and adherence to the international law rules.The formation of international organizations and following that the emergence and growth of non-state actors brought about tremendous changes. meanwhile, NGOs have taken a larger share of the role. The United Nations with two approaches, legitimacy and Professional utilization have played a major role in the official development of these actors. The informal role of NGOs also expanded. The General Assembly and the Security Council benefit from the consultation of these organizations beyond the UN documents, which limited the consultation with NGOs for ECOSOC. Some international bodies, such as the Council of Europe and the Organization of American States, have promoted the skill of these actors by providing a participatory status beyond the consultative status, They have the right to vote and equal representation rights in their assemblies. The mechanism of Interaction of ECOSOC with NGOs has led to systematic cooperation and the quantitative and qualitative growth of NGOs, But at the same time it has led to the rise of non-independent and pro-government NGOs. The review and adoption of this mechanism is necessary in the current context of global civil society.
