Village Suisse ONG and the Church of Scientology

Village Suisse ONG also provides a local presence for the Church of Scientology in the UN NGO community[1] in Geneva, and provides support to human rights training provided by the Church of Scientology offshoot "Youth for Understanding".[2][3]

The relationship of Village Suisse ONG[4] to the Church of Scientology caused media controversy[5] in 2009, when the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) refused entrance of the Scientology group "Youth for Understanding" to the UN premises, for a meeting which had been planned and organized by Village Suisse ONG.
