The Council, under the General Assembly, deals with non-political issues, specifically: From the beginning, the United Nations has placed great importance on the field of international cooperation, but as the international community has become closer and science and technology has progressed, the fields in which international cooperation is needed have continued to expand. The Council's subordinate organs include the five regional commissions of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), eight functional commissions including the Population and Development Commission, the Social Development Commission, and the Statistical Commission, three permanent committees including the Planning and Coordination Committee, the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, and the Intergovernmental Organizations Negotiations Committee, and a permanent body of experts.
