International organizations by year and type Yearbook of International
Organizations Copyright © Union of International Associations (http://www.uia.org/)
(a) Early editions of the Yearbook covered only conventional international bodies. From 1976 to 1978 these were grouped into "Section A". (b) Criteria were broadened in 1976 to permit inclusion of borderline cases in a new "Section B". In 1981 "Section A" was redefined as the current Types A to D, and "Section B" was redefined as the current Types E to H. (c) From 1962 to 1972 NGOs created in relation to the EEC or EFTA communities were treated as "secondary entries". (d) Religious orders were transferred from Type F to a new Type R in 1983. Conference series were transferred from Type F to the new Type S in 1985. (e) From 1954 to 1964 only national NGOs with consultative status at ECOSOC were included in the Yearbook. From 1966 other national NGOs were included, eventually justifying "Section B" from 1976 to 1978. In 1989 more radical criteria were applied to exclude apparently less active or less "international" bodies. In 1992 less "international" bodies were moved from Type G to a new Type N. (f) Up to 1974 the total number of "international NGOs" reported in various academic studies included those indicated in note (e). (g) These bodies were included in "Section B" from 1976, and as "secondary entries" prior to that. Stricter criteria of continuing activity were applied from 1987 and increased the proportion of bodies transferred from other Types to Types H and U. (h) In 1981 Type M bodies were included in Type F. Since 1985 they are again included in Type F, but only governmental enterprises are included. (i) In 1992 less "international" bodies were moved from Type G to Type N. (j) Religious orders were transferred from Type F to a Type R in 1983. (k) Conference series were transferred from Type F to Type S in 1985. (l) From 1981 to 1983 Type U was only used for unconfirmed and untraceable bodies from the past. From 1984 this type is also used to maintain an index trace on inactive bodies previously included in Types E and F. Since 1989 only inactive bodies previously included in Types E, F, G, K or N are included in Type U.
(1909) From "Annuaire de la Vie Internationale", published by the UIA prior to the Yearbook series. (1978) No additions were made to "Section A" of the 1978 edition, which was originally intended as a direct French translation of the 1977 edition. |
