34 The non-governmental organization was suspended in 2012 because it had failed to submit its quadrennial report for the period 2007–2010 in 2011. It had also failed to submit its overdue quadrennial report during the period of suspension, and its consultative status should have been withdrawn in 2013. However, owing to an error in the system, it was not included in the list of non-governmental organizations whose consultative status was withdrawn in 2013. Subsequently, it also failed to submit its quadrennial report for the period 2011–2014 despite three reminders from the Non-Governmental Organizations Branch of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the Secretariat. As a result, the non-governmental organization was presented to the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations at its resumed session in May 2016 for withdrawal of consultative status.
