*LEGAL STATUS OF Non-Governmental Organizations NGOs
The legal form of NGOs is diverse and depends upon homegrown variations in each country's laws and practices. However, four main family groups of NGOs can be found worldwide:
-Unincorporated and voluntary association
-Trusts, charities, and foundations
-Companies not just for profit
-Entities formed or registered under special NGO or non-profit laws
The Council of Europe in Strasbourg drafted the European Convention on the Recognition of the Legal Personality of International Non-Governmental Organizations in 1986, which sets a common legal basis for the existence and work of NGOs in Europe. Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights protects the right to freedom of association, which is also a fundamental norm for NGOs.
