International OrganizationsName:Working TogetherOrganizations are groups of people, businesses, orgovernments that work together to solve an issue.International organizations involve governments or peoplefrom different countries working together to solve an issuethat crosses country borders. Reaching across borders iswhat makes them “international.” There are two maintypes of international organizations.Intergovernmental Organizations“Inter” means among or between. It is aprefix that shows there is a connectionbetween things. Intergovernmentalorganizations are organizations that areformed between governments. They arebased on formal agreements between threeor more countries that have come togetherfor a specific purpose. For example, severalgovernments might come together to sharethe national experts and resources todevelop solutions for fighting hungeraround the world.American, British, and Spanish ships participate in a NorthAtlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military exercise.Nongovernmental Organizations“Non” means not, of course. Nongovernmental organizations(NGOs) are groups that work to solve problems around theworld. Although they may have members that come fromgovernment organizations, they are not connected to anygovernment. A nongovernmental organization is free towork toward its own goals without interference from anygovernment. If an NGO wanted to fight hunger globally, itmight collaborate with other NGOs or raise moneyindependently to fund projects.A bundle of clothes from the Red Cross in Finlandwaits to be donated to people in need.What International Organizations DoInternational organizations have often been responsible forproviding help to nations in need.

In its role to improve the quality of life for the world’s poor, two ofthe most well-known UN organizations are the United NationsChildren’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP).UNICEF works in poor areas of the world to help prevent disease andchild abuse. UNICEF also support the rights and education ofchildren, especially girls, who do not receive equal treatment to boysin many parts of the world. The WFP works to end hunger aroundthe world. Part of this involves bringing food when there is anemergency. The other part involves preventing hunger in poor partsof the world. The WFP does this by providing school meals toencourage families to keep their kids in school, helping farmers findgood markets for selling their products, and paying people with foodin exchange for their labor building improvements to theircommunities.In its peacekeeping role, the UN sends troops to bring stability andpeace to troubled areas of the world. UN peacekeepers are troops orpolice sent from member countries. They wear their own country’suniform with a UN helmet or beret. One of the UN’s peacekeepingmissions is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country inAfrica where tribes and smaller militias have been fighting for years.UN peacekeepers are there to protect civilians and aid workers fromphysical violence. They are also helping the country’s governmentrestore the rule of law. The UN currently has 15 similar missionsaround the world.In October 1945, right after World War II, fifty-one countries startedan organization with a goal of keeping peace, developing friendlyrelationships among countries, and improving the quality of life forthe world’s poor people. This organization, called the United Nations(UN), has 193 member nations today.The United NationsPresentation Activity—UNA good example of something the United Nations does is2.1.The United Nations has two roles:.The reason the United Nations exists is tocountries are involved today.The United Nations was founded in .Take Notes.

NATO also uses its resources to help both member countries andnon-member countries after a natural disaster. It does this becauseit believes the world will be more safe and secure if victims ofnatural disaster receive help quickly. For example, in 2010 Pakistansuffered major flooding and asked NATO for help. NATO agreed todeliver donations from countries and nongovernmentalorganizations. NATO airplanes delivered many supplies frommember countries: generators, water pumps, and tents donatedfrom Slovakia; food and medical supplies donated by Germany; fieldhospitals from Denmark; and blankets and tents from France, as wellas baby food and high energy biscuits from nongovernmentalorganizations along with other aid donations.One role of NATO countries is to help keep peace and securityaround the world, even in non-member countries. For example,NATO troops are in Afghanistan helping the government there tomaintain control of the country and fight the threat of terrorism. Inaddition, NATO troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq are helping totrain the militaries in those countries to be able to stand on theirown. In another part of the world, “Operation Ocean Shield” usesnaval ships from NATO countries to fight pirates and provide securityto ships off the Horn of Africa.The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a group ofcountries in Europe and North America that have signed a treatyagreeing to protect each other in case of attack. NATO was foundedin April 1949 by twelve countries. Today, NATO has 28 membercountries. NATO countries protect themselves by working togetherto help stabilize parts of the world that are in trouble.North Atlantic Treaty OrganizationPresentation Activity—NATOA good example of something NATO does is2.1.NATO has two roles:.The reason NATO exists is tocountries are involved today.The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in .Take Notes.

Finally, the EU plays a major role giving aid to countries around theworld that have problems such as hunger, disease, andenvironmental contamination. For example, the EU keeps aidworkers in the Caribbean to help people in those countries developbetter ways to cope with natural disasters such as hurricanes andearthquakes. The EU is also actively distributing food to people inthe poorest countries of Africa.Another role of the EU is to act as a single voice in the world for itsmember countries. The EU is run by a European government that ismade up of representatives voted into office by citizens in the 27countries. The government of the EU makes decisions about whatthe EU as a group will do about a wide variety of issues, such asterrorism. By acting as one unit, the members have more influencethan they would if they each acted alone. For example, the EUmight use its influence to negotiate peace between countries inconflict.One role of the EU is to create a single economy in which all of themembers participate. All of the countries use the same unit ofmoney, called the Euro. Goods trade freely between the membercountries without being taxed.The European Union (EU) is a partnership between countries inEurope that is designed to help them avoid conflict by making themdependent on each other. The EU began in 1951 with a treatybetween six countries who agreed to operate their coal and steelindustries together. This way, none of the six could manufacture itsown weapons to use against the others in war. Later, the sixcountries began to adopt the same economic rules, such as payingfarmers in all countries the same for their produce. They alsoallowed goods to be traded between the six countries without anytaxes for moving products across borders. The idea was thatcountries that depended on each other would be less likely to go towar against each other. Today, the EU has 27 member countries.The European UnionPresentation Activity—EUA good example of something the United Nations does is3.2.1.The European Union has three roles:.The reason the European Union exists is tocountries are involved today.The European Union was founded in .Take Notes.

The WHO also plays a role responding to crises around the world.For example, the WHO has set up a rehydration center to helppeople dehydrated from drought in Yemen. Drought also leads tomalnutrition, because food cannot grow without water. When thereis a famine, the WHO treats medical complications that result fromsevere malnutrition and helps fight disease in communitiesweakened by lack of food.Another role of the WHO is to help keep people healthy around theworld. The WHO sponsors many health programs. Some of theseprograms focus on wiping out specific diseases, such as dengue, adeadly flu-like virus transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical areas ofthe world. The WHO helps prevent this disease through programsthat control the spread of mosquitoes and by conducting research.The WHO also makes sure as many children as possible in the worldhave been immunized against diseases such as whooping cough,measles, and tuberculosis. The WHO’s aggressive Global PolioEradication Initiative has wiped out polio from much of the world.One important role of the WHO is to gather data about healtharound the world. It compiles statistics about things like the leadingcauses of death in different areas of the world and how often certaindiseases occur. It even keeps track of smoking in different parts ofthe world. Tracking these kinds of data helps the WHO understandwhat need to be done to help people. The WHO data also helpsresearchers in individual countries, where much of the medicalresearch in the world takes place.The World Health Organization (WHO) is an organization within theUnited Nations that works to improve health around the entireworld. It does this not only by providing health care in poor areas,but also by conducting research in order to wipe out disease and byhelping countries develop their health care systems. The WHO wasstarted by the United Nations on April 7, 1948. April 7 is now knownas “World Health Day.” The United Nations has 193 membercountries today.The World Health OrganizationPresentation Activity—WHOA good example of something the WHO does is3.2.1.The World Health Organization has three roles:.The reason the WHO exists is tocountries are involved today.The World Health Organization was founded in .Take Notes.

Finally, people from the Red Cross and Red Crescent play a veryimportant role in visiting prisoners of war and civilians who areimprisoned during times of conflict. The Red Cross and Red Crescentchecks to see whether the prisoners are being treated humanely asrequired by an international treaty called the Geneva Convention.The Red Cross and Red Crescent also helps them communicate withtheir families, if possible.Each country has its own society, so another role of the Red Crossand Red Crescent societies is to run programs in their localcommunities. For example, the Red Crescent in the capitol ofKyrgyzstan runs a school for street children with help from theNetherlands Red Cross. In Thailand, where drug offenders oftenspend decades in prison, the Thai Red Cross Society helps prisonersstay healthy while in jail and learn to adjust to life once they arereleased. In Australia, young volunteers from the Australian RedCross go out to parties and dance clubs to educate other youngpeople about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.Today, the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies do much more thanhelp wounded soldiers. One of the main roles of these societies is torespond to disasters. For example, the American Red Cross actedimmediately to help victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.The Red Cross set up emergency medical clinics and helped victimsand families try to contact each other. In another example, in August2011 there was a shipwreck near the island nation of Comoros off theeast coast of Africa. The Comoros Red Crescent society offered firstaid, helped identify the remains of people killed, and supported thefamilies of survivors and their families.The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies work to helppeople around the world. (Islamic countries usually have a redcrescent instead of a red cross.) Currently 186 countries havesocieties. The first Red Cross society was formed in 1863 in Geneva,Switzerland, by five men who wanted to organize volunteers whocould help wounded soldiers during wartime.The Red Cross and Red Crescent SocietiesPresentation Activity—Red CrossA good example of something the Red Cross/Crescent does is3.2.1.The Red Cross/Red Crescent has three roles:.The reason the Red Cross/Crescent exists is tocountries are involved today.The Red Cross/Red Crescent was founded in .Take Notes.

Another role of the World Bank is to improve conditions in thepoorest countries in the world. The International DevelopmentAssociation (IDA) is the part of the World Bank that does this. TheIDA helps poor countries by giving them grants of money or loanswith no interest. The countries use this money to improve theircitizens’ living conditions and to improve economic growth in thecountry. For example, in 2008 there was a dramatic increase in foodprices in Ethiopia. The IDA helped Ethiopia buy fertilizer for the2009 growing season. This helped the farmers produce more foodthe next year, which lowered prices. In Vietnam, the IDA has helpedpeople have access to clean water by providing money to developnew water sources and to reconstruct old water distributionsystems.Presentation Activity—World BankA good example of something the World Bank does is2.1.The World Bank has two roles:.The reason the World Bank exists is tocountries are involved today.The World Bank was founded in .Take Notes.

The World Bank was founded in 1944.Today, it is owned by 187 member countries. There are two mainorganizations within the World Bank, each with its own role.One role of the World Bank is to improve the living conditions incountries with moderate financial resources. The International Bankfor Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is the part of the WorldBank that does this. The IBRD helps middle-income countries figureout what their needs are and what strategies will work best. Then,the IBRD helps these countries get loans or other kinds of financialaid to build programs that will help. For example, the governmentof Mexico needed to increase energy efficiency in Mexico, but itcould not succeed unless its poorest people participated. The IBRDhelped Mexico start a program that gives out free fluorescent bulbsand gives people discounts for replacing their old appliances. InCosta Rica, the IBRD helped with special financing that lets thecountry get money to deal with natural disasters without takingmoney away from other important projects.Your ReportThe World Bank
