		Providing reliable information (to governments, intergovernmental organisations, politicians, the news media, academics as well as the general public) is the most important precondition to be fulfilled for any NGO to have an impact.
		Non-membership organisations such as the Human Rights Watch organisations and the International Commission of Jurists may on the whole be able to react more quickly and be more flexible in their approaches to governments than membership organisations.
		Another advantage of membership organisations is that the leadership is accountable to the rank and file, which means that the membership may exert some kind of control over the actions of the leadership.

		Obviously, the organisation has responsibility vis-a-vis all its members, and it is therefore not appropriate that the organisation and its officials are subject to local laws with respect to their official business.
		It should be said at the outset that it is very clear that in Switzerland privileges and immunities are granted only to intergovernmental organisations and to organisations or institutions that are established by states or with the participation of states.

		The policy statements of a sole representative organisation for the whole of civil society might often have to be either too unrepresentative to retain credibility or too unfocused and equivocal to be effective.
		It also arises in relation to the reference to ECOSOC of the proposal that the World Bank, IMF and others should ensure that their interventions in countries are consistent with an internationally agreed set of standards for social policy.

		While this is no substitute for intergovernmental monitoring, it can serve to exert public pressure on governments in the absence of institutionalised monitoring.
		Moreover, even where an intergovernmental monitoring system is in place, independent civil society monitoring can usefully supplement this by providing a different perspective, covering topics not yet covered by monitoring processes and offering conclusions and recommendations in a form more accessible to the public.
		Other organisations may carry out monitoring on subjects covered by the conventions, albeit without specific reference to convention requirements.

		The "CROP* organisations", as they are sometimes known, are difficult to characterise briefly because they cover so many different fields and have different modes of operation.
		Perhaps the most appropriate analogy is with the United Nations family of organisations, but on a more limited geographic scale, and without a formal peacekeeping role or supra-national authority.
		Although it is normal to describe organisations in terms of their functions, it is probably easiest to distinguish between the individual Pacific regional IGOs in terms of their clients.

		Most international organisations have clear-cut and ambitious mission statements and policy planning documents, yet the real-world influence of these agencies is often unclear and sometimes in doubt.
		Papers could examine, for example, the influence of international organisations on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of technical or scientific knowledge; on the initiation, negotiation and further development of international agreements; or on the implementation of international policies and programmes 'on the ground' in specific countries.
		Papers may either deal with the integration of different environmental issues in the policies of one organisation or with the integration of environmental concerns in the work and functioning of international organisations that are not primarily active in environmental policy.
