Abstract/Description:

A body is composed of organs which need to be described, and the role and functions of which need to be fully grasped. Two or more organs working together in the execution of specific body functions form an organ system. This chapter aims to study the various stakeholders of the Council with a view to understanding their roles and prerogatives and consequently grasping the level at which they interact. In most United Nations or other international organizations, most if not all participants of official meetings are representatives of Member States. At times, representatives of other organizations or agencies may be provided with the right to address the gathering. There is usually no provision for the participation of other stakeholders and of the public at large.
