!!!internationale Organisationen

International Organisations, help the international community to 
regulate political, economic, military, and cultural affairs, and are 
divided into "International Governmental Organisations" 
(IGO), associations between states, created by multilateral contracts 
under international law, with their own structures and competences, 
and "International Non-Governmental Organisations" (INGO), 
associations created by social participants for cross-border 
cooperation in areas ranging from politics (e.g.  Greenpeace  amnesty 
international Oesterreich) to sport and culture.

For Austria, membership in international organisations assumed great 
significance after 1945: Austria was a founding member of the OEEC 
(April 16, 1948, since 1961  OECD), joined the UN on 
December 14, 1955, and was admitted to the  Council of Europe on 
March 8, 1956. As a neutral state, Austria took an active role in 
the international community, and became established as a location for 
the headquarters of international organisations (such as the UN) and 
for important international conferences.
