About the UN Commission for Social Development-

  • It is one of the key commissions tasked with monitoring and carrying out the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action. 
  • It was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), one of the six main organs of the United Nations. 
  • The commission’s goal is to advise the ECOSOC, particularly on those social issues that are not dealt with by specialized intergovernmental organisations.
  • Members: Originally 18, membership has been increased several times, most recently in 1996, and now stands at 46. Members are elected by ECOSOC based on equitable geographical distribution (as noted in the following list) for four-year terms.
  • Since the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995, the Commission for Social Development (CSocD) has been the key United Nations body in charge of the follow up and implementation of the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action.
  • Originally known as the Social Commission but renamed in 1966.
  • Its purpose was to advise ECOSOC on social policies of a general character and, in particular, on all matters in the social field not covered by the specialised inter-governmental agencies. The Commission’s mandate was further developed by ECOSOC resolutions.
  • Since 2006, the Commission has taken up key social development themes as part of its follow up to the outcome of the Copenhagen Summit.
