The Conscience of the World: The Influence of Non-Governmental Organisations in the UN System by Willetts, Peter

Private groups, such as Amnesty International and Save the Children Fund, have had a formal consultative arrangement and influential role with the United Nations and its international agenda. In this book, the authors examine the role between NGOs and the UN in world politics and the accomplishments of selected groups dealing with the environment, womens rights, childrens problems, human rights, and refugee and famine crises.
