Legal status of international organizations

Selected reports, papers and studies on international legal status of NGOs 

An important area of UIA’s research into international organizations includes the legal context within which they operate. The International Association Statutes Series (1988) includes the official texts of 393 statutes of international nongovernmental organizations with membership in countries in at least two continents. Its appendices, available below, include the texts of conventions and national laws in related areas, lesser known or forgotten documents and proposals dealing with the legal status of international associations, as well as those currently under discussion or in processes of ratification.
