New Publication Available in ISAR’s Resource Center:
Self-regulation in the Non-Profit Sector
Self-regulation in the Non-Profit Sector is a collection of materials prepared by the International
Center for Non-profit Law (ICNL), based in Washington, DC. The book includes analyses of the
situation in the non-profit sectors of several countries where the Third Sector is just developing,
including Romania, Columbia, and Ethiopia. Information from the US situation is included as a
contrast, as the non-governmental sector is well developed and has extensive experience with
self-regulation.
The introduction of the book focuses on the importance of voluntary self-regulation of NGOs in
free societies and presents examples of the development of effective standards of this regulation.
The book dedicates its three main chapters to the Code of Ethical Norms for the Operation of
Non-Profit Organizations in the State of Maryland (US), standards of self-regulation which came
out of a conference on civil society in Romania, the NGO Code of Ethiopia, a declaration of
principles passed in Columbia, and the nine criteria for NGOs set out by the American National
Information Bureau on Charitable Issues. All of the chapters contain commentary to help the
reader understand the complexities of these issues being discussed.
This important publication is available in Russian in ISAR’s Resource Center library.
