There follows a necessarily limited list of large international organizations,
grouped together by continent. Each institution is followed by a list
of its official languages. Not all of those languages are necessarily
used at all meetings. Another point to be borne in mind is that international
organizations are grouped into larger "systems" i.e. the UN
system, the co-ordinated institutions sector, the European Union institutions.
Each system has its own official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Russian and Spanish in the case of the UNO; English and French
in the coordinated institutions (CE, ESA, OECD, NATO, WEU); Danish,
Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese,
Spanish and Swedish for the European Union institutions.
