International Organizations Have a Charter

International organizations have a charter for membership for states and countries. The member states agree to designate a role for settlement and resolution of issues of political, economic, and social nature through accepting the authority of these governmental and non-governmental organizations. The settlement of issues is also related to minimize the effects of local and international events on local and global communities. It is also noted that different international organizations have a distinct scope of activities including United Nations, Organizations of Islamic Corporation, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The work of Abbott and Snidal (1998) provides only one side of international relations. It is also observed that members of these organizations maintain individual relations with each other as members as well as countries with bilateral ties.

Role of International Originations:

According to Abbott and Snidal (1998) international organizations are mainly setup to mediate and coordinate between nations and perform their designated role within the charter. International organizations are setup according to the stated charter and they are also allocated with various specified areas of working. The primary working areas of these organizations are distinct. There is an obligatory requirement for nations to adopt the membership of these organizations. However critical review of Abbott and Snidal (1998) reveals that some of the international organizations are also non-obligatory and they are discretionary in nature. The international issues related to the adoption of charter for these organizations become obligatory after signing the membership.

The issues related to internal and external environment of the countries including political, social, economic, and cultural conflicts are also discussed in these organizations. Contrary to the view of Abbott and Snidal (1998) multiple international, regional, and local organizations work as a regulatory and interlinked bodies enabling legal and regulatory impositions on member and non-member countries. The United Nations (UN) is the largest body with almost all countries as members of the organization. The role of UN in international issues addresses the League of Nations. The United Nations operates on the basic principles set for the organization according to its structure and operations. Moreover UN also works for the peaceful settlement of disputes, collective security and peacekeeping. The issues of international justice under the law are also related to the United Nations charter. It also involves in controlling the instruments of war. The regional and global transnational relations are also effectively dealt according to the stated charter of the organization. The critical evaluations of the research carried out by Abbott and Snidal (1998) also reveals that multiple subordinate bodies working for various dedicated tasks are also related to international organizations. International organizations also promote economic welfare through providing assistance on managing global resources. The promotion of social progress and human rights issues are also addressed through these organizations. International and national issues, conflicts, problems, and natural disasters are dealt in accordance with the humanitarian rules of operations.

Political Role:

According to Abbott and Snidal (1998) the political role of organizations is most notable in the context of international relations. The influence used through international organizations including UN cannot be under mined in terms of various international political issues. The recent political issues include Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Iran' example illustrates that Iran is exposed to various sanctions from the United States of America, since 1979, which had a profound impact on the various dimensions of the region. The effect of these sanctions can range from the alterations in the foreign policy to the declining export of oil for the country. One domain that has been exposed to restricted development is the oil industry. However it is also noteworthy that the economy of Iran is not entirely dependent on the export of oil for its growth (Momeni, Najafi, & Fathollahi, 2012). Moreover, the sanctions had a negative impact on the potential influx of foreign investors while Iran has also contested these sanctions on various grounds in different organizations. Such a situation has influenced the pace of development of the country. Nevertheless other researchers have persuasively argued that these sanctions have targeted the oil and gas industry, but other businesses embedded in the traditional industries of Iran had trivial effects from such sanctions. Therefore, it has been concluded that the business related to small firms have displayed no significant impact. The UN has also played a significant role in imposing sanctions and as a result the international pressures on Iran to comply with the International charter are example of political role played by the organization.

It is also understood through critical evaluation of the research done by Abbott and Snidal (1998) that United States Security Council was responsible for imposing sanctions on Iraq during the Gulf war when Iraq invaded Kuwait. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IDEA) is also an international organization that keeps a check on the nuclear proliferations. There are various international organizations that are developed under local and international treaties are also functional. The North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) and Organization of Islamic Corporation (OIC) are also notable international organizations performing various tasks as designated through their charter. World Trade Organization (WTO) is also an important organization in creating a liberalized effect on global trade and commerce. WTO is also denoted as an organization dealing with international trade and commerce conflicts settlement.
