The NGOs spontaneously have common and benevolent goal with non-politic, non-state and non-profit tendencies and can play important roles in establishment of human security. Generally, NGOs in all over the world to develop human security can play two important roles. First, these organizations can develop human security, second most of the NGOs based on the mission on which organization is based, have some missions and the result of these missions develop human security. It can be said that NGOs in developing human security can play two roles of "preparation" and "factor". Another point is the role playing of NGOs in development of human security. NGOs can have two directions in each of the roles. Under the conditions in which the governments can develop mission by which NGO is formed and has some problems in this regard. NGOs have "positive or participative orientation" with government as environment issue. But under the conditions in which the government can not develop some of the items of human security, NGO by "negative or coping strategy" plays its role. Totally, NGOs with any direction can play important role by preparation or executive activities (factor role) in development of human security role (Rafii et al., 2012)
