A reasonable basis for the emergence and flourishing of NGO activities is a normative consideration. This is why a vast majority of the NGOs become engaged in such particular issues as human rights and environmental issues. The prohibition of the use of force as a means of settling interstate disputes and recognition of non-violent measures towards international cooperation in world politics also offers a fertile ground for the NGO activities and influence. Still, this does not offer a working definition. An NGO will not be constituted as a political party; it will be non-profit-making and it will not be a criminal group, in particular, it will be non-violent.
