How do international organizations take on “lives of their own?”

Different international organizations are created to function within global

areas and provide development to different nation-states. However, even
though they are related to different nations, they still function differently on
improving the lives of people. For example, nations and states are responsible
for how the government should function within a specific country to play its
responsibility in improving life. On the other hand, international organizations
are developed to emphasize the innate rights of different individuals across the
globe. Moreover, by creating new entities of organizations, it can then function
independently and cannot be fully controlled by other states since it has a life
of its own. That is why we can say that these international organizations can
function their role in the lives of the people differently and independently.
Generally, the cause of existence of international organizations are not
from the interests of different states and it can even function independently.
They did not exist just to follow the standards that are given by the developed
states. That is why these different international organizations can take lives of
their own because some are a group that is not based on how the different
states would make them want to function. For example, we can take a look at
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) function on providing sustainable
growth that has developed standards on the economic lives of the people. It has
promoted how individuals should make decisions or face in times of scarcity.
Moreover, international organizations are powerful enough to inflict influence
on developing global standards within the different countries. For instance, the
United Nations has the power to apply categories and classifications of
economic lives that makes nations follow to ensure development. Generally, the
international organizations can take lives of their own because they function on
emphasizing the quality of lives of individuals, can develop global standards
and make the governments follow it. However, we cannot still deny that some
of these international organizations and their function are controlled by more
developed nation-states.
