INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Introduction:
The urge for peace and self-preservation has inspired man to devise institutions for greater international co-operation and avoidance of confrontation. Though this process of evolving international organizations has existed for long, it received a special impetus as a result of the scientific and technological development during the past few centuries. However, in the present century this international co-operation assumed new dimensions with the emergence of the League of Nations and the United Nations. It would not be wrong to say that the League represented the culmination of the long process of the evolution of International Organization. However, it also radically differed from the institutions created during the past few centuries.
Meaning, Nature and Evolution of International Organization: Its Characteristics and Role. According to Jacob and Atterton, international organizations are in reality “associations of sovereign states. They have government functions to perform, but they do not have the power normally assumed by the governments.” According to Potter, the term ‘international organization’ refers to “the aggregate of procedures and organs for uprising the unification of nation.”
Nature and Evolution of International Organizations: The origin of the international organization can be traced back to the earliest periods of the recorded history. We get sufficient evidences in the histories of India, China, Mesopotamia and Egypt regarding the existence of diplomatic practices, commercial relations, treaties of alliance etc. These treaties of the past, according to Mangone, are the first steps towards the formation of international organization.
1. Greek Period:
During the Greek period, treaties, alliance, diplomatic practices and services, arbitration and other method of peaceful settlement of disputes, rulers of war and peace, league and confederation and other means for regulating inter-state relations
