"NGOs and the United Nations" offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing interactions between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the United Nations since the 1990s. The book examines how the representation of NGOs at the UN, their advisory status, and their distinctive characteristics influence their relationship with the UN. Through detailed case studies of prominent organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, CARE International, and Oxfam International, it provides a deep understanding of the role of NGOs in the international context. The author, K. Martens, highlights the dynamics and challenges faced by NGOs and offers valuable insights into their influence on global politics and decision-making.
