NATO
The North Atlantic Treaty of April 1949 Brought into being an Alliance of independent countries with a common interest in maintaining peace and defending the freedom through political solidarity and adequate military defense to deter and ,if necessary, repel all possible forms of aggression against them. Created within the framework of Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which reaffirms the inherent right of individual or collective defense, the Alliance is an association of free states united in their determination to preserve their security through guarantees and stable relations with other countries.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO) provides the structure which enables the goals of the alliance to be implemented, it is an intergovernmental organization in which member countries retain their full sovereignity and independence. The Organization provides the forum in which they consult together on any issues they may choose to raise and take decisions on politically and military matters affecting their security. It provides the structures needed to facilitate consultation and cooperation between them, in political, military and economic as well as scientific and other non-military fields.
NATO’s essential purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of all its members by political and military means in accordance wit the principles of the United Nations Charter. Base don common values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, the Alliance has worked since its inception for the establishment of a just and lasting peaceful order in Europe. This central Alliance objective remains unchanged , NATO also embodies the transatlantic link by which the security of North America is permanently tied to the security of Europe. It is the practical expression of effective collective effort among its members in support of their common interests

В 1991 году, спустя 5 лет после аварии на Чернобыльской АЭС, в городе Корк (Ирландия) в офисе Компании за ядерное разоружение было принято решение о создании белорусско-ирландской волонтерской организации, целью которой стало осуществление финансовой, медицинской и гуманитарной помощи детям Беларуси, пострадавшим в результате самой губительной техногенной катастрофы 20 века.
Со дня основания в 1991 Фонд год от года набирает силу и новых членов как в Ирландии, так и в Беларуси. За годы работы Фонд внес денежный вклад, эквивалентный 58 млн. евро для медицинской и гуманитарной помощи жертвам и тем, кто пережил Чернобыльскую аварию. Около 12 тысяч детей побывали на оздоровлении в Ирландии.
Фонд разработал 6 программ, которые призваны поддерживать и осуществлять помощь гражданам Беларуси, позволяя им смотреть в будущее с надеждой и уверенностью. Такими программами являются: Отдых и Оздоровление; Программа по Гуманитарной Помощи; Программа по Медицинскому Обслуживанию Населения; Забота о детях и социальная поддержка; Программа по социальным службам; Образование и информация о последствиях аварии на ЧАЭС.
Фонд помощи детям Чернобыля (Chernobyl Children’s Project) получил официальный статус в ООН. Некоторые из его программ частично спонсируется этой организацией. Также Фонд имеет тесные связи со Всемирной Организацией Здравоохранения, ЮНИСЕФ, ЮНЕСКO, БАН, Международным Красным Крестом, Европейским Банком Реконструкции и Развития и многими другими.
