International Organizations

An international organization is a stable set of standards and laws that control the
behavior of nations and other actors in the international system (also known as an international
institution or an intergovernmental organization). Organizations can be created through a treaty
or as a legal entity governed by international law with its own legal personality. While sovereign
states are the primary legal actors, international organizations are becoming increasingly vital in
assisting us in our global governance. Non-governmental organizations, transnational
corporations, and civil society organizations, in addition to nations, can be both legal and
illegitimate (terrorists groups, organized crime structures).

An international governmental organization (IGO), sometimes known as an

intergovernmental organization, is an organization that is made up entirely of states only. The
organization is usually formed by more than two countries and is based on a treaty or multilateral
agreement. Member states decide how the organization is managed, cast votes within it, and fund
it. The United Nations (UN), which was founded in 1945 after the Second World War ended, is a
prime example of an international governing organization (Abidin, 2018). While International
non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are non-governmental organizations that work on a
global scale or have members from throughout the world. These are the organizations whose
purpose is to promote public awareness about serious matters.

International organization plays a vital role in international affairs. It definitely portray its
own purpose in international community. With these organizations, environmental preservation,
humanitarian concerns, human rights, security, peace, and more were achieved by the states. The
relationship between member states were better because of these organizations.
