International Network

The Permanent Representation of Bice is based in Geneva and has the responsibility to develop and coordinate Bice's advocacy initiatives with international and European institutions. Our vocation is to work on behalf of and together with our members' and partners' network and in close cooperation with the Regional Delegations which manage Bice's presence in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe-CIS.

Catching onto the dynamism launched by Bice during the drafting of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Permanent Representation targets its action so that the promotion and the protection of the dignity and the rights of the child become a reality worldwide.

Reinforced by the credibility of the evidence and the information arising from our field projects, the Permanent Representation ensures a higher visibility to Bice's positions and forward our recommendations to the heart of the UN, its specialised agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF, ILO UNHCR and others), the institutions of the European Union, the Council of Europe, academic circles and other NGOs.

Bice also maintains regular contacts with the Holy See missions in Geneva and in Paris. While trying to identify common points for reflection and work with other Catholic inspired NGOs, the Permanent Representation participates in the meetings of the International Catholic Centre of Geneva and of the International Catholic Centre in Cooperation with UNESCO in Paris.
