Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
http://doctorswithoutborders.org/
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.  Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols.  In 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Human Rights Watch
http://www.hrw.org/
Human Rights Watch is one of the world’s leading independent organizations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights.  By focusing international attention where human rights are violated, they give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes.  Their rigorous, objective investigations and strategic, targeted advocacy build intense pressure for action and raise the cost of human rights abuse. For 30 years, Human Rights Watch has worked tenaciously to lay the legal and moral groundwork for deep-rooted change and has fought to bring greater justice and security to people around the world.
