Baha'i International Community
The Bahá’í International Community (BIC) (see also Baha'i International Community United Nations Office) is an international non-governmental organization with affiliates in over 180 countries and territories, which together represent over 5 million members of the Bahá’í Faith. As an international NGO, the BIC interacts and cooperates with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, with governments, as well as with inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations...
"The BIC has offices at the United Nations in New York, Geneva, and Brussels; representations to the European Union and UN Regional Commissions based in Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Nairobi, Rome, Santiago, and Vienna. An Office of Public Information, based at the Bahá'í World Centre in Haifa, Israel, disseminates information about the Bahá'í Faith around the world and publishes a quarterly newsletter, ONE COUNTRY."
