Overview

A CHRISTIAN AND INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENT The International Catholic Centre of Geneva (ICCG-CCIG) was created in 1950 to embody the true solidarity of all Christians with the entire human family in the midst of the international organisations of Geneva. OUR MISSION Through a Christian commitment shared with its 23 NGO members, CCIG facilitates the design of solutions to the political and socio-economic problems of our times while paying particular attention to the dignity of every human being and for the common good of all. CCIG wishes to be the catalyst for NGO commitment, in particular Catholic inspired NGOs, within the United Nations System. Our main objective is to make the best and most effective use of our ECOSOC Consultative Status. OUR INSPIRATION « The joy, the hope, the distress and also the anguish of human beings today and in particular of the poor, of those who suffer, are also the joys, hopes and anguish of Christ’s disciples so that anything human is bound to echo in our hearts.» The Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes, No 1, 1965)
