About the Book

International Organisations have affected all of us in our daily lives, no matter we realize it or not. Hence, every enlightened citizen of his own country and of the world ought to have knowledge of their role, functioning, system, and above all their relevance in the modern world. The loss of several million lives in the First World War showed the necessity for an international organisation so as to establish peace in the entire world. With this aim the League of Nations—later succeeded by the United Nations—was formed. Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the efforts of developing countries to achieve regional economic integration. In various parts of the developing world, existing regional arrangements have been revitalised or expanded and new groupings formed. This book is not intended as a general history of International organisations because such histories are available in much greater details than that could be attempted here. It is rather a description and a brief overview of the United Nations system and other major international and regional organisations of the world like the Amnesty International, G-77, the International Criminal Court, apec, oecd, opec, nam, nafta, The  Commonwealth, wco, iom, eu, asean, saarc, interpol, etc. This book would be found most useful by the scholars of Political Science, Public Administration, International Relations and others. It would also appeal to the general readers keen to know about the recent global developments and strategies adopted by the various international organisations across the world.
