INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

What is International Organization?

The state, oppression, interest and professional groups, political parties and views of the world; are the unions formed in order to increase their power and to make their wishes and demands accepted by other actors as an actor in international relations. These organizations and structures take the second place in the dimension of international relations actors.
Societies established in ancient Greece and having some functions at religious points are the first examples of organization. However, the establishment of the current international organizations came on the agenda after the Napoleonic Wars. At the end of the war, the 1815 began with the Rhine River Commission established by the Vienna Congress. Today there are around 400 organizations.
Classification of International Organizations
International organizations; it is classified by union (universal, regional), function (cultural, scientific, military, political, health, economy) and authority (international, supranational).

Structure of International Organizations

In international organizations; There are certain features that organizations should have. Judging from these features; at the most basic level it should have the common purpose of at least three states. Membership must be individual or collective with the right to grant from at least three countries. Another article should be the establishment agreement, a formal structure in which members can systematically select the governing bodies and officers. However, not all civil servants should belong to individuals of the same nationality more than a certain time. As for the budget, at least three states should have full participation. And profit should not be driven. Another point that an international organization should have is to be able to express a topic on the agenda clearly.
Although international organizations are different from states, there are some points that clarify this distinction. For example; there is no human community that is fully competent and has a national bond. Another issue concerns the order of international organizations. There is no authority to force anyone to comply with these decisions.
On the other hand, the emergence of international organizations takes place with the declaration of the will of the member states. Another point about organizations is related to the legal personality of organizations. The legal personality of an international organization is limited for the purpose of the organization.

Membership to International Organizations

Membership occurs in two ways. The first is that the states that have signed the organization and the treaty of the organization are called as founding or principal members. The second is that the later participating states are referred to as member states.
One of the basic principles in international organizations is that they are based on the principle that the member states are equal. However, contrary to this situation, the votes of the founding member or some member states may hinder the decision-making process. At the same time, admission to membership, withdrawal and withdrawal from organizations may change and differ in organizations. Admission is generally in the form of reviewing and accepting applications from candidate countries that meet the requirements for membership.
Another point is that there is no condition to be a member of that organization in order to participate in the work of the organization. That is, they can have a say in observer status. Today, membership in international organizations is considered as an improvement in security, economic and cooperation for many states. in the case of strong states, this situation is considered as an opportunity to consolidate their power.
