概要

In 1999, the associational law, the law 153, was enacted at last after long fierce debates. In the course of the enactment of this law, it turned out to be obvious that the intention of the Egyptian government was to enlarge its system of social control by integrating NGOs, especially human rights groups, which have remained partly free of governmental control under the Ministry of Social Affairs. This impetus of the Egyptian government from the time of Nasser can be explained by the specific character of Egyptian NGOs of which their [political potentiality] has been one of the peculiar aspects. The human rights groups in Egypt consist of the intellectuals of [Arab Left] with strong attachment to certain political orientations. Therefore, the government was afraid of the human rights groups because their activities might harm the international reputation of the government and exert bad influences on the foreign investments to Egypt and the globalization of the Egyptian economy. On the other hand, it can be also surmised that the government tacitly intended to include the Islamic charitable organizations which were half-nationalized during Nasser regime. While the present and short-term aims of the law 153 were to integrate human rights groups into the existing control system, the long term purpose might be to prevent the religious and Islamic organizations from their upsurge.
