An international organization, also known as an international institution or intergovernmental organization, is an association of states established by a treaty or other type of instrument governed by international law to pursue the common aim of its member states. The cited article says such an organization possesses its own legal personality separate from its member states and can enter into legally binding agreements with other intergovernmental organizations or with states, and it names the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the African Union, the Organization of American States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Mercosur and BRICS as examples. Architecture organizations recorded in the atlas as international bodies are grouped under this concept.
