Abstract
The present chapter deals with developments in the NGO community in the 1990s and their impact on the protection of refugees; it focuses primarily on human rights organisations which have seen much development in recent years. The chapter’s main conclusion is that increased collaboration between humanitarian organisations, intergovernmental institutions and national human rights organisations could bring new perspectives into the protection regimes and in particular create a bottom-up approach at the global level.
