The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD is an international organisation of thirty countries that accept the principles of representative democracy and free-market economy.
The mandate of the OECD is broad, covering economic, environmental, and social issues. It replaces SourceOECD, and hosts all content so users can find — and cite — tables and databases as easily as articles or chapters.

International Monetary Fund eLibrary. World Bank. There are currently member states in the UN. Some IGOs are regional and limit their membership to states within the designated regions. Other IGOs are referred to as selective organizations because they base their membership on criteria other than geography. The Organization of the Islamic Conference, for example, bases its membership on religious affiliation.
OPEC, on the other hand, is comprised only of countries that produce oil. NGOs are therefore typically independent of governments, are usually non-profit organizations, and receive at least a portion of their funding from private sources. IGOs have the financial and political support of its members. IGOs, as any organization, present a variety of legal issues. That these issues occur in the context of a foreign country or foreign laws often increases their complexity.
Consequently, the range of legal work is vast. Includes congressional debates the Congressional Record , bills, laws, hearings, committee prints, and reports. Environmental Protection Agency Leads the nation's environmental science, research, education, and assessment efforts. Their mission is to protect human health and the environment.

The member states of the EU co-operate to formulate common foreign policy and security policy. In these areas, the members of the European Union retain their authority and autonomy. In other words, if 24 member states agree on a foreign policy, the other member state can choose to pursue its own policy. In this pillar we found aspects of mainly political integration. The third pillar contained intergovernmental elements for justice and home-affairs, but the Lisbon Treaty has made this policy area supranational instead, calling it the area of freedom, security and justice.
The Lisbon Treaty has collapsed the pillar structure. The European Community formerly the first pillar has been abolished, but its powers and institutions remain supranational. These have been transferred to the post-Lisbon EU entity, along with the elements of the former third pillar, which have also become supranational.
