Yearbook of International Organizations Online

The Yearbook of International Organizations Online is a database accessible via online browsers. Being free of space constraints, it contains more information than the book version of the Yearbook of International Organizations. For instance, the book contains descriptions of 34995 active international organizations, while the online database covers 65184 by including profiles of dormant or inactive organizations. In addition, the Yearbook online is updated continually and therefore contains the most recent information - the print edition is only published once a year.

Online database last update: 17. January 2012
