國際非政府組織憑藉著組織的專業與知識、資訊的提供、組織架構的彈性以及多元的網絡，在國際社會中佔有重要的角色。但同時也面臨一些挑戰，例如缺乏合法性、代表性與責信。其中責信問題涵蓋最廣，也最為重要。 責信是國際非政府組織向利害關係者解釋其行為，利害關係者包含政府、捐款者、受益者、組織會員、組織員工、企業以及其他組織，當然更應涵括一般群眾，因為國際非政府組織具有草根性的性質。 國際非政府組織都必須解釋行為，且把解釋的行為的措施發展為一套機制，融入組織的架構之中，以利組織長期貫徹責信；利於利害關係者追蹤與檢視責信。這些措施集結成五種責信機制：資訊公開 、成效評估、擴大參與、自我規範以及社會審核。

The core question of this paper is whether the current accountability architecture with respect to these International Organizations is satisfactory. To these ends it firstly delineates the so far unclear notion of International Development Law, its sources,...
