Strengthening، improvement and implementation of human rights are of most important areas in which the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a major role at the national، regional and international levels. The NGOs activities in the field of human rights، is backed by public and state institutes. Monitoring implementation of human rights standards at national، regional and international levels to a great extent depends on the NGOs measures and activities. In this process the international human rights regime operates mainly through an organized transnational network، in which public and private sectors join together and in which protection of human rights is considered as a global public policy. The global public policy-making for human rights in this sense is emerged from interconnectedness between the governmental organs، international organizations and civil society، where none of them is able to work separately to achieve its objectives. Moreover، the NGOs also play a complementary supervisory and executive role for other partners in the network in that without their presence the global human rights regime would lack the characteristic features of a comprehensive system. The historical development of NGOs contribution to human rights and the basic reasons for their participation result from the requirements of new international order and of the necessities as well as importance of human rights issues. Also، the social necessities in international community constitute the normative sources for the NGOs'' participation in policy-making، standardization and monitoring role in the field of human rights.
