Government restrictions on foreign aid to NGOs


“Despite the claims of government leaders, burdensome restrictions on foreign funding of civil society, such as those imposed by Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Algeria, and Egypt, do not truly address the anti-terrorism issue. As a matter of common sense, terrorist groups are unlikely to be deterred by a law restricting foreign funding of the nonprofit sector.”
