Nevládní organizace Člověk v tísni a lidská práva. Případová studie

This thesis follows the action of the non-governmental organization (NGO) People in Need. The aim of this thesis is to find out both what the contribution of the NGO People in Need to the field of human rights is and what methods are put in use within their operations. The theoretical part firstly deals with non-governmental organizations from a generic point of view in order to further tackle those NGOs that are active in the field of human rights. The empirical part of this thesis is specifically focused on the case of the non-governmental organization People in Need, bringing forward its overall activity and effect especially within the task of promotion of human rights. The methods used in this field are defined and their application is then monitored in two concrete case studies of Burma and Cuba. In connection to the support provided to those countries, this thesis further explores the ways of spreading awareness of such topic onto the Czech civil society.
