Czech term or phrase: občanské sdružení
Zamýšlím se nad správným překladem výrazu "občanské sdružení". Slovníky, které mám k dispozici, mi nabízejí "unincorporated association". Nejsem si ale jistá, jestli se to úplně hodí, protože občanské sdružení, o které u mě konkrétně jde, má svoje IČ a je k nalezení na stránkách Ministerstva vnitra v "seznamu registrovaných občanských sdružení".

Co třeba "registered civic/citizen's association" v uvozovkách? Nebo myslíte, že se lépe hodí přece jen "unincorporated association"? V textu se na to často odkazuje bez použití názvu sdružení, proto bych měla ráda nějaký překlad, který můžu případně dovysvětlit pod čarou.

Toto přináší Wikipedie:
Občanské sdružení: http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Občanské_sdružení

Děkuji všem za názory.

Explanation:
the second article is actually quite fascinating, re: the powers of the Ministry of Interionr



Collective rights administration
In the Czech Republic a collective rights administration is conducted by six organizations, all of
which are citizen associations. There are the original five collective administrators that were
active during the period when previous legal regulations were in effect (OSA, DILIA,
INTRERGRAM, OOA-S and GESTOR); plus in 2006 a new collective administrator, OAZA,
representing audio authors (so called sound masters)

there are many reasons for associations being registered in a public registry. However, the Czech Registry of Civic Associations is not a public list, which is unsatisfactory mainly due to the protection of third-party rights. This drawback should be addressed in the new Civil Code by the establishment of a public registry of associations.

1. Governmental supervision (general)
It is a political decision whether the creation of an association as a legal person depends on its recognition by the state, a signature of a notary public, its incorporation in the relevant registry, or merely the agreement of its members.
The current legal regulation of association law2 gives the registering authority to the Ministry of the Interior, i.e., a body of state administration.3
