	Challenges to International Nongovernmental Organizations
		The relation between the effectiveness of an organization and its right to exist is surely determined by its ability to continue to attract members and not by some externally imposed criteria.
		There may be resentment of any imposition of a new Western style organization, and a lack of any socio-anthropological skill to match very different styles of organization, or to create or adapt an INGO appropriate to them.
		Fourthly, there is the non-representativity forced upon organizations by the problems of communication and transport between distant points on the surface of the planet.

	Non-governmental organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In its broadest sense, a non-governmental organization is one that is not directly part of the structure of government.
		QUANGOs are quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations, such as the W3C and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which is actually not purely an NGO, since its membership is by nation, and each nation is represented by what the ISO Council determines to be the 'most broadly representative' standardization body of a nation.
		Now, such a body might in fact be a nongovernmental organization--for example, the United States is represented in ISO by the American National Standards Institute, which is independent of the federal government.

	Nongovernmental Organizations and the Global Compact
		It is intriguing that in seeking to defend and justify the Global Compact, the Secretary-General has had to rely on the fact that (some) NGOs expressed approval of it (although any their reservations they might have had are not so evident).
		By comparison, it might however be asked how credible is a UN that had a direct role in supervising two major massacres, and maintained a monitoring facility in the immediate proximity of a prison (El-Khiyam) in which torture was systematically practiced for a decade and many people died as a consequence.
		An organization with the misleading title Business Council for the United Nations (http://www.unausa.org/bcun/index.htm) has been created "to bring a better understanding of the U.N. to the business community".

		The Endowment is a private, nonprofit organization created in 1983 to strengthen democratic institutions around the world through nongovernmental efforts.

	Russian NGO Law Criticized by State Department Official - US Department of State
		Washington -- Russia is working against democratic trends as a new law takes effect restricting activities of domestic and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), according to Barry F. Lowenkron, the State Department’s assistant secretary for democracy, human rights and labor, in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on February 1.
		We have been above board in terms of helping Russians themselves organize themselves in a whole range of activities, from helping the media, to the forming of political parties, to weighing in on their concerns.
		When NGOs ask for help--when they ask for help in terms of how to organize, when they ask for help in terms of how to observe elections--then I think American taxpayers, or German taxpayers, or taxpayers anywhere around the world that support NGOs are very comfortable offering that.
