As used with NGOs

I am removing this section because it is horribly biased, and, furthermore, doesn't seem relevant to the topic of "name and shame" overall. I'll leave the text here if anyone feels they can re-edit it to make it more relevant, but right now it just seems to be based on an pro-Israel opinion piece.

"Name and Shame" is also used with NGOs who use the façade of morality and humanitarianism to promote racism. One example would be those non-profit organizations which proclaim to support universal human rights but both neglect the human rights of some and are activtely working towards the deligitimization of others.

I have added to it information about government (EU) using the name and shame idea as well. will continue to look for more examples. Soosim (talk) 09:10, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

It is still biased. It expresses an opinion, not a fact. Just sourcing the opinion without qualifying who's point of view it is is not good encyclopedia writing.--Vlad the Impaler (talk) 07:02, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

ok, vlad, i have added in the statements the source of the people ("naming and shaming"???) so it is clear who says what. enjoy! Soosim (talk) 12:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Maybe we can delete the first sentence, since it isn't specifically about "name and shame," but keep the second, because it is a verifiable use of a name and shame tactic. That132IP (talk) 18:32, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Name and Shame → Name and shame –

Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE: this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Matches the formatting of related article titles.
