다. 비정부기구의 유래
비정부기구라는 말은 국제연합(UN)이 창설되었을 때인 1945년에 처음 조어(造語)되었다. 자체 국제정부간기구인 UN은 몇몇 공인된 전문국제비국가기구 즉 비벙부기구에 총회와 일부 총회회의에 업저버(관찰자) 지위를 부여하도록 했다. 나중에 이 용어는 보다 광범위하게 사용되었다. 오늘날 UN에 의하면 정부통제로부터 독립된 어느 종류의 기구도 그것이 비영리, 불개입이며 단지 야당이 아니라면 "NGO"라고 불릴 수 있다(The term "non-governmental organization" was first coined in 1945, when the United Nations (UN) was created. The UN, itself an inter-governmental organization, made it possible for certain approved specialized international non-state agencies — i.e., non-governmental organizations — to be awarded observer status at its assemblies and some of its meetings. Later the term became used more widely. Today, according to the UN, any kind of private organization that is independent from government control can be termed an "NGO", provided it is not-for-profit, nonprevention, and not simply an opposition political party.)
라. NGO 현황
2015년 현재 전세계적으로 약 60만개의 NGO가 있으며 UN에 등록된 것만도 1880년에 성립한 ICRC, 1873년에 창설된 국제법학회(Institute of International Law)와 국제법협회(International Law Association), 그리고 CARE(Cooperation for American Relief to Everywhere, 미국원조물자발송협회), Catholic Relief Services, International Press Institute, Sierra Club, Salvation Army, Amnesty International, Habitat for Humanity International, Laubach Literary International, Medicins Sans Frontiers(MSF, Doctors without Borders), Greenpeace, WWF(Worldwide Fund for Nature)등 무수하다.

마. 비정부기구의 등장 배경
⑴ 탈냉전과 전지구적 쟁점의 등장.
냉전이 양분된 가치와 의제를 전제로 한 반면, 탈냉전은 새로운 가치와 의제가 전세계사적 문제로 등장하였음을 의미하며, 국제사회의 상호협력을 필요로 한다.
⑵ 환경문제의 국제문제화
로마클럽은 전지구적 이슈 가운데서도 특히 환경문제를 인류의 중대한 문제로 제기하고 있다.
⑶ 국제연합의 새로운 파트너의 필요성
국제연합의 전세계적 문제를 해결할 주체로서의 민간단체의 필요성이 절실하였다.
⑷ 구사회운동과 구별되는 신사회운동의 등장
전통적 사회운동은 사회주의운동, 노동운동, 농민운동, 민주화운동 등이라면 신사회운동은 20세기 중반 이후 본격화된 사회운동으로서 환경운동, 반핵 평화운동, 인권운동 등 특정한 문제를 해결하는 가운데 공익을 추구하는 후기 산업사회의 주요 주제였다. 그 구체적인 사례로서 1968년 프랑스와 독일의 ‘68학생운동’ 이후 신사회운동이 본격화되었다.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a private humanitarian institution founded in 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, by Henry Dunant and Gustave Moynier. Its 25-member committee has a unique authority under international humanitarian law to protect the life and dignity of the victims of international and internal armed conflicts. The ICRC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions (in 1917, 1944 and 1963).
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) was founded in 1919 and today it coordinates activities between the 188 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies within the Movement. On an international level, the Federation leads and organizes, in close cooperation with the National Societies, relief assistance missions responding to large-scale emergencies. The International Federation Secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1963, the Federation (then known as the League of Red Cross Societies) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the ICRC.
National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies exist in nearly every country in the world. Currently 189 National Societies are recognized by the ICRC and admitted as full members of the Federation. Each entity works in its home country according to the principles of international humanitarian law and the statutes of the international Movement. Depending on their specific circumstances and capacities, National Societies can take on additional humanitarian tasks that are not directly defined by international humanitarian law or the mandates of the international Movement. In many countries, they are tightly linked to the respective national health care system by providing emergency medical services.
