Sample Essay on Role of NGOs in Protecting Human
Rights
In recent past, the world politics arena has witnessed an increase in the
number of nongovernmental organizations commonly known as NGOs.
Even though most states are the protectors of human rights, it is
evident that NGOs remain central players in promoting human rights all
over the world. In ensuring the governments and rulers do not infringe
on the rights of people or a community, these organizations may work
or not work with the government of the day in establishing an agenda
for action. They mainly seek to have international threshold for the
behavior of states through signing of agreements and ensuring that
individual parties to the treaty conform to it to the letter.
NGOs also participate in mobilizing public opinion towards a given
course. Here, they carry out investigations and give detailed report and
recommendations regarding human rights abuses. In most cases, the
recommendations favor the victims, who may have been denied their
rights in different ways. They may also offer direct support to the
victims, in helping them normalize their lives. Lobbying is important
because NGOs cannot operate as independent entities because of their
mandate. In serving the people effectively, these organizations need
governments, politicians, international financial institutions, and the
media among others partners. An NGO that has more partners to work
with usually has an expanded mandate through increased activities.
Currently, we see many NGOs diversify their services through training
programs, which aim at respecting the rule of law and responding with
humanitarian help when disaster occurs.
NGOs have largely played a role in influencing human rights practices of
many states around the world and created global awareness about
people’s human rights. While this is the case, agreement on what these
organizations do excellently remain a debatable issue even though their
impact can be openly seen. It is important to note that the mandate of
NGOs can overwhelming especially in cases where human rights abuses
form part of a country’s culture. For this reason, NGOs take varying
periods to achieve specific goals, depending on the nature of the issue
at hand and the government’s willingness to participate in the course of
seeking justice for victims of human rights abuses.
Most NGOs have different ways of reaching out to target audience and
having their services cover a wider scope. For example, most of these
organizations have global websites through which they link to the rest
of the world, especially in an information age. These websites further
carry documentation of human rights violations in various parts and
calls for corrective measures to be taken and all levels, including
government and grassroots. For NGOs to succeed, they also need the
support of the public and their condemnation of the human rights
violations in question. Any effective NGO is that which seeks to have its
agenda popular for mass support. In some cases, we have seen NGOs
organize mass action by making the public aware of how the
government or individual state officers are misusing their power and
infringing on the rights of the minority.
NGOs achieve their goals by exerting pressure on governments, which
limit human rights. There are numerous international NGOs, which
have had impact in fighting for human rights. A good example is
Amnesty International, which campaigns for human rights worldwide. It
has its presence in more than one hundred and fifty countries, with at
least 2.2 million members and subscribers. They carry out research and
generate action to end human rights abuses and call for justice for the
victims.
