Second, they bring public attentionto issues that states ignored. For example, international NGOs were instrumentalpublicizing an issue and getting many states to sign a comprehensive global treatybanning the use and manufacture of certain kinds of products. Third, NGOs servean educational function. They hold seminars and briefings, and draft policy papers.International bureaucrats and elites, who make important decisions in areas ofNGO concern, are better informed because of NGO efforts. Fourth, some considerNGOs the conscience of international civil society whose views represent those ofworld populations. Fifth, NGOs bring claims of victims before certain internationalcommissions and tribunals, such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights(IACHR) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Inter-American Court).Sixth, some NGOs serve on state delegations involved in negotiating and formulatinginternational conventions.
