    IGOs like the UN and EU work together on issues of common interest between nations, while INGOs like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch conduct advocacy and activities across social domains. IGOs and INGOs often cooperate, such as the UN establishing human rights laws and conventions that Amnesty International then helps promote and protect through its consultative status at the UN.

    THE COOPERATION

    BETWEEN IGOS AND


    INGOS
    INTRODUCTION
    • The term intergovernmental organization (IGO) refers to an
    entity created by treaty, involving two or more nations, to
    work in good faith, on issues of common interest. In the
    absence of a treaty an IGO does not exist in the legal sense.
    For example, the G8 is a group of eight nations that have
    annual economic and political summits. IGOs that are formed
    by treaties are more advantageous than a mere grouping of
    nations because they are subject to international law and have
    the ability to enter into enforceable agreements among
    themselves or with states.
    • The main purposes of IGOs were to create a mechanism for the world’s
    inhabitants to work more successfully together in the areas of peace and
    security, and also to deal with economic and social questions. In this current era
    of increasing globalization and interdependence of nations, IGOs have come to
    play a very significant role in international political systems and global
    governance.
    • IGOs cover multiple issues and involve governments from every region of the
    world, including offices in the U.S. Among the oldest IGOs are the 
    United Nations, which replaced the League of Nations, the 
    Universal Postal Union, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
    The Universal Postal Union, founded in 1874, is currently a specialized agency
    of the UN. Other well-known IGOs are the European Union (EU), the
    Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the African
    Development Bank (ADB) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
    • International nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are not-
    for-profit voluntary associations operating at the international,
    transnational, or global level, with members or participants from
    many countries. They bring together like-minded individuals or
    associations of individuals to conduct a wide variety of activities
    across virtually all social domains, from astronomy to football to
    plant biology to zoo management. Although the best-known
    INGOs focus on human rights (for example, 
    Amnesty International), the environment (Friends of the Earth),
    disaster relief (the Red Cross), and the like, most INGOs are
    found in scientific, technical, business and industry, medical,
    and professional domains

    • One of the great achievements of the United Nations is the


    creation of a comprehensive body of human rights law—a
    universal and internationally protected code to which all
    nations can subscribe and all people aspire. The United
    Nations has defined a broad range of internationally accepted
    rights, including civil, cultural, economic, political and social
    rights. It has also established mechanisms to promote and
    protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their
    responsibilities.
    UNITED NATIONS – AMNESTY
    INTERNATIONAL
    • Since 1964 Amnesty has had special consultative status at the UN, which
    has allowed us to shape crucial developments in human rights, including:
    • • The adoption of key UN Conventions. Such as against Torture and 
    Disappearances and, curbing the arms trade.
    •
    • Optional Protocols to human rights treaties for the 
    abolition of the death penalty and to keep children out of armed forces
    .
    • The establishment of national mechanisms to prevent torture and to
    allow people to make complaints against their governments for violations
    of their rights.
