Organisational and Legal and Social Considerations of Functioning of NGOs in National Security System

Summary/Abstract: The term non-governmental organisations (NGO) means all entities, which are not included in the category of units or authorities of public administration and which functioning does not involve the achievement of profit by them. Therefore, a characteristic feature of non-governmental organisations is the lack of correlation between non-governmental organisations and the public authorities. In Poland, the term “non-governmental organisations” is defined by the act on public benefit activities and volunteering from 2003 identifying non-governmental organisations with public benefit activities, mainly foundations and associations [Co to jest organizacja pozarządowa… 2017, online]. In the literature the term ‘non-governmental organizations’ is also defined as: ‘non-profit organizations’, ‘civil society organizations’ which are a form of self-organization of citizens, ‘public benefit organizations’ which provide a wide range of social assistance, ‘voluntary organizations’ and ‘charity organizations’ based on volunteering and helping the poorest, ‘independent organizations’ and ‘social organizations’ aimed at social work and independence [por. Co to jest organizacja pozarządowa… 2017]. The aim of the work is the analysis of selected legal and organizational and social conditions of non-governmental organisations in the field of national security.
