Aninternational organization is anorganization, active in more than onecountry. These organizations can not command countries and citizens in a way a government can. Many are intergovernmental organizations meaning that rather than having people as members, they have individual countries as members. They make rules that the different governments follow. TheUnited Nations is such an organization.
Some International organizations operate in many countries but do not have governments as members. TheRed Cross is that kind of organization.
