Abstract: NGOs that used to influence international policy decisions only indirectly by lobbying state representatives are increasingly taking on a more active approach through their engagement in the UN and other intergovernmental organizations. In order to better understand their current role in the system, analysis of their engagement in the UN, incl. the factors that explain for it, is essential. This paper presents results of ordinal logistic regression analysing influence of factors (attributes of individual NGOs) on their engagement in the UN. The biggest impact was attributed to the combination of three factors: possession of ECOSOC consultative status, international orientation of an NGO and the number of other NGOs with which it maintains relations.
