Due to the unwillingness and sometimes reluctance of governments to take proper action, the INGOs form “a vast number of connections across national borders and inserting themselves into a wide range of decision-making processes on issues from international security to human rights to the environment” (Florini and Simpsons, 1999: 3). In other words, they assume roles where national governments are unable or unwilling to address a certain issue, filling a void that has been left unattended.
