Chapter Two discusses the problems caused by the lack of any generally-accepted guidelines for NGO fact-finding, in contrast with contexts where NGOs have achieved consensus. Chapter Three surveys proposed guidelines for human rights and humanitarian NGOs. In addition, this section examines United Nations fact-finding standards, as well as examples of internal fact-finding standards for major NGOs. Chapter Four analyzes the fact-finding standards used in five specific cases: the International Crisis Group (Kosovo, 1999), the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia (Georgia, 2008), United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Mapping Exercise on the Democratic Republic of Congo (1993-2003), Conflict Analysis Resource Center/University London study on Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (Colombia, 1988-2004), and Human Rights Watch (Lebanon, 2006). The final chapter offers conclusions and recommendations. 410 0$aNijhoff law specials ;$v78. 606 $aHuman rights$xEvaluation 606 $aCivil rights$xEvaluation 606 $aNon-governmental organizations 615 0$aHuman rights$xEvaluation. 615 0$aCivil rights$xEvaluation. 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations. 676 $a341.4/8 700 $aSteinberg$b Gerald$g(Gerald M.)$0248630 701 $aBerman$b Jordan$01462556 701 $aHerzberg$b Anne$01462557 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790180303321 996 $aBest practices for human rights and humanitarian NGO fact-finding$93671577 997 $aUNINA
