Abstract

Chapter 13 introduces the concept of international organizations and NGO associations and how to use them to advance diplomatic initiatives. Several very important examples are provided, but a directory of useful organizations will be provided online in an associated website. Special attention is also provided to the Cluster system, an approach to effectively using international organizations and NGOs during emergencies.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For some, the word “coordination” is controversial; some NGOs feel it stifles imagination and independence. The authors propose that coordination of emergencies needs NGOs as full partners so collective cooperation can increase effectiveness.

  2. 2.

    Many indigenous peoples are represented in United Nations forums, such as Native Alaskans and Native Americans from the United States and First Nations from Canada, but our view is that more should be done to expand participation, especially for poorer populations.

  3. 3.

    The center is across the street from US headquarters.

  4. 4.

    For example, The International Health Awareness Network (IHAN) in partnership with PeaceAction invited NGOs from many disciplines in March 2012 to attend a discussion with H.E. Ambassador Chowdhury on the occasion of the 56th Session of the Commission of the Status of Women (CSW).
