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 in Geneva, and provides support to human rights training provided by the Church of Scientology offshoot "Youth for Understanding".
The relationship of Village Suisse ONG to the Church of Scientology caused media controversy 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.
