international organizations

Cross-border collaborative groups

International organizations are formal bodies created by agreements between nations to coordinate policy, regulate shared concerns, or pursue common goals.

The United Nations, World Health Organization, and NATO are prominent examples.

Some, like the International Monetary Fund, focus narrowly on economics; others address human rights, trade, or security.

The treaty was negotiated through international organizations.
