Non-Governmental Organisations In International Law

Even when governments have no democratic basis, they are regarded as the sole representatives of their populations on the international plane and take important decisions on their behalf. It is therefore important that other voices can be heard in international fora alongside governments. NGOs have an increasingly important legal and political role and use several different avenues for their work, such as lodging cases before international courts and other bodies and participating in international meetings and conferences. This book explores these possibilities for the participation of NGOs in international law.Lindblom, Anna-Karin is the author of 'Non-Governmental Organisations In International Law ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521850889 and ISBN 0521850886.
