Abstract
Nowadays, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are subject to ethical dilemmas when it comes to accomplishing their goals. When helping people, irrespective of the approach used, it is important to consider both the environment, to adapt oneself to it and the consequences of the aid provided. NGOs have understood the concept of non-neutral humanitarian aid after the end of Cold War. In fact, the end of the Cold War created the issue of armed conflicts. Previously a conflict could rapidly degenerate into a nuclear war and the conflicts in 1990s have been more on an intra-state basis than on an inter-state one. During this period, there has been an explosion of inter-ethnic conflicts that would be too long to enumerate, for example, the issue of Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Therefore one can raise the question of the political involvement in the functioning of the NGOs.
