Village Suisse ONG is associated with several events of the Church of Scientology[1]

The relationship of Village Suisse ONG[2] to the Church of Scientology caused media controversy[3] in 2009, when the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) refused entrance of the Scientology group "Youth for Understanding" to the UN premises,[4] for a meeting which had been planned and organized by Village Suisse ONG.

In 2016, Village Suisse ONG was again noted by the Tribune de Geneve for holding a conference for a "Day of the NGOs", sponsored by the Church of Scientology. The news-article claimed that documentation distributed at the meeting in the UN Palais des Nations was probably edited by the Church of Scientology.[5]
