2019 Ignita Veritas University. All International Rights Reserved. Barristers Certification of Legal Facts & Evidence United Nations Registration as Inter-Governmental Ignita Veritas United (IVU) Registered: March 2013 Updated: January 2019 Magna Carta Bar Chambers (MCBC) is an inter-governmentally licensed international law firm and legal services center of Ignita Veritas University (IVU). It holds authorities under UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers including protected client confidentiality (Preamble: 9, 11, Articles 16, 21, 22), immunities (Articles 16-17, 20) and investigative powers (Article 21), free from government influence under UN Declaration of Human Rights (Article 20.2), thus representing the independent Legal Profession. Services are regulated by the Code of Conduct for European Lawyers (2006) of the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (Brussels, Belgium). Certified as Verified Statements of Fact and Law: Ignita Veritas United (IVU) is a sovereign subject of international law with inherent inter- governmental authorities in its own right, and does not require any recognition by nor affiliation with the United Nations (UN) to exercise its own independent diplomatic status. IVU maintains UN registration only for participation as a Civil Society Organization (CSO), with the declared sanctioned purpose of "UN Reform", as a UN watchdog for human rights. Ignita Veritas United (IVU) is officially registered in the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC) Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Database (since March 2013), Registration No. 666857 as an "Inter-Governmental Organization" (IGO). Screen Captures as Evidence of UN Registration The institution has an approved and permanent registration in the UN CSO database, among the 80% of accepted profiles which are not publicly listed in its search results. All profiles are labeled with a disclaimer that this "does not in and of itself connote any affiliation with the United Nations, unless consultative status" is indicated in the profile. This does not diminish the legal fact and significance of a valid registration as a recognized Civil Society Organization (CSO). The institution does not need nor make any claim of "affiliation" by additional "consultative status", which is optional and not required. Therefore, the following Screen Captures are provided, proving the official UN database registration of the institution, as legal documentary evidence of its valid and permanent registration as an Inter-Governmental Organization (IGO): Verification by Screen Captures as Legal Evidence Registration of General Profiles The United Nations online database system provides "registration of general profiles for civil society organizations" (CSO's), and contains a "large database of over 24,000" profiles. Consultative Status Not Required Only about 5,100 CSO's only 20% of registrations have optional "Consultative status", which is not required, such that 80% of CSO's have valid and active registrations without that additional status. Obtaining and maintaining Consultative status requires much bureaucracy, which may be unnecessary or undesirable for mission-oriented institutions dedicated to maximizing non- profit budgets and workload for urgent humanitarian projects of worldwide impact. Majority of Registrations Not Listed As of December 2018, the UN CSO online database search only allows to "review" profiles which have the optional additional "Consultative status", such that 80% of validly registered CSO's are not publicly listed nor displayed in the search results. Screen Captures as Only Evidence As proven by the above facts, Screen Captures are the only available legal evidence for verification of official UN registration of a general profile, for the majority of accepted and approved Civil Society Organizations (CSO's). Registration by Review and Approval Acceptance of a "profile registration" in the UN CSO database requires that the application be "reviewed by a substantive officer" of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), and must be "accepted" and "approved". These facts prove that acceptance and registration in the UN CSO database is a significant accomplishment, requiring much preparation by strategic development and refinement of a successful application meeting UN standards. This makes successful registration relevant and noteworthy for transparency by public statements of the legal fact of such registration. Barristers of our Bar Chambers have witnessed that numerous non-profits have failed to achieve approval as a "non-governmental organization" (NGO) without expert legal support, despite years of efforts. This is even more challenging as an "inter-governmental organization" (IGO), which must meet higher standards under international law. Registration Permanent and Active Once approved by the UN Civil Society Organization (CSO) department, the registration number and profile login remain permanent and active, and do not expire nor become invalid. Therefore, Screen Captures constitute effective legal evidence for verification of valid CSO registration, and do not require any further verification of good standing.
