Egy civil szervezet a humánbiztonság érdekében (A Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat nemzetközi terepen végzett humánbiztonsági és egészségbiztonsági szerepe)

Aim: The role of NGOs is viewed in mixed terms around the world. Local, regional and global NGOs exist and operate worldwide. Local organisations are those active only in a single town or municipality. Regional organisations are those that have a national or continental presence. But there are also global NGOs, whose activities are visible locally, regionally and on several continents. We would like to interpret the global human security aspect of the Hungarian Maltese Relief Service without being exhaustive. Methodology: Introducing the Order of Malta, we discussed security in general following by Hungary's, European and global security as ell as their interconnections. In order to present the global activities of the Hungarian Maltese Charity in this paper, we have only highlighted its activities in Africa, based on published literature and the organisation's communication sources. Findings: Founded in 1989, the organisation quickly became a major player in the field of social security in Hungary. After that very quickly became a cooperating member of European humanitarian activities, and at the turn of the millennium, it became a global NGO because of its role in human security outside Europe. Value: with the acceleration of globalisation, more and more NGOs are now able not only to play a local social role, but are increasingly able to provide a permanent presence anywhere in the world, to carry out charitable and human security tasks. Furthermore they can assist in the response and recovery from natural and humanitarian disasters, in the protection of human life and values.
