International governing bodies

International governing bodies are organizations that set rules, standards, and policies to oversee and coordinate activities across different countries. They facilitate cooperation, ensure fair practices, and address global issues like trade, health, or sports. Examples include the United Nations for peace and security, the World Trade Organization for trade, and FINA for aquatic sports. These bodies provide leadership and establish common frameworks, helping nations work together smoothly despite differences, ensuring consistency, fairness, and progress on international matters.
