Final Thoughts
International organisations play a vital role in promoting global peace, economic growth, and humanitarian cooperation. Each organisation has its own purpose and headquarters that coordinate worldwide efforts. For example, the United Nations (UN) and its agencies like WHO, UNESCO, and UNICEF operate from Geneva, Paris, and New York, respectively.
Groups such as BRICS, ASEAN, and the European Union (EU) focus on economic and regional development, while organisations like NATO and the African Union (AU) ensure security and unity among nations.
Financial institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and Asian Development Bank (ADB) support global development projects. Together, these organisations shape international relations, policies, and progress across the world.
