International organizations are bodies established to serve as a platform for countries to work together and achieve common goals. Their work varies, but common areas of focus include promoting peace and security, fostering economic development, protecting human rights and the environment, and providing humanitarian aid. Examples of international organizations include the United Nations (UN), World Trade Organization (WTO), World Health Organization (WHO), and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
