	International organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International organizations so established are subjects of international law, capable of entering into agreements among themselves or with states.
		Thus international organizations in a legal sense are distinguished from mere groupings of states, such as the G-8 and the G-77, neither of which have been founded by treaty, though in non-legal contexts these are sometimes referred to as international organizations as well.
		International organizations must also be distinguished from treaties; while all international organizations are founded on a treaty, many treaties (e.g., the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)) do not establish an international organization and rely purely on the parties for their administration.

	La Francophonie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		La Francophonie (formally l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie; literally "The Speakers of French"), a French language term coined in 1880 by French geographer Onésime Reclus, brother of Elisée Reclus, to designate the community of people and countries using French, is an international organisation of French-speaking countries and governments.
		In addition to referring to the international organisation, La Francophonie may also be used to reference the worldwide community of those people whose native language or second language is French (i.e., the French Sprachraum).
		The Permanent Council of the Francophonie consists of Ambassadors of the member countries, and, like the ministers conferences, its main task is to plan future summits and also to supervise the implementation of summit decisions on a day-to-day basis.
