Security and safety of NGO personnel
Given the growing security problems that non-governmental NGOs are faced with when undertaking humanitarian and other tasks, the UIA decided to undertake a study of the protection such organizations require when undertaking hazardous duties. The evaluation of this situation was conducted via a survey to "on the spot" personnel themselves. This questionnaire was prepared in collaboration between the UIA and the University of Paris 2, and the results published in the UIA's journal Transnational Associations in 1999.
