global organization

International collective entity

A global organization operates across multiple countries or worldwide, rather than within a single nation.

The term covers international bodies like the United Nations, multinational corporations, and NGOs with presence in many regions: The WHO is a global organization dedicated to public health.

Global emphasizes scope and reach rather than legal structure.
