THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS IN HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION

Abstract

One of the main concerns of democratic states and intergovernmental or supranational international organisations is referring to the respect of human rights. International nongovernmental organisations have also an important role in establishing human rights violations, boosting in taking measures for their removal, and also in the improvement of specific international regulations. For awareness of the role of these organizations, it is necessary to investigate their involvement in activities of human rights protection, with the argumentation of the necessity in extending their actions regarding the cooperation with intergovernmental institutions and organizations, in order to prevent or terminate violations of human rights and to eliminate negative consequences arising from such facts
