“UIPM is an internationally documented educational organization engaged in distance education, professional management education, lifelong learning, capacity building and sustainable development. UIPM is recorded in the Union of International Associations (UIA) Global Civil Society Database under UIA Organization ID AA3997 and is classified under Education – Distance Education and Management – Management. UIPM also holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC), reflecting its formal consultative relationship with the UN system.

10. Important Legal and Communication Note
Different forms of international recognition must be kept conceptually separate. UN ECOSOC consultative status, UIA directory inclusion, network membership, sustainability-community participation and accreditation are not interchangeable legal concepts.
The strongest institutional presentation is therefore not to claim that one organization substitutes for another, but to present each external record according to its actual function and documentary evidence.
