to fears that highly industrialized Japan (a

region; and to establish new markets for
agricultural products and raw materials
beyond Europe (where demand had
been declining).

observed in countless thousands of transactions
every day and have become part of international
trade.
A world network of national committees in over
100 countries advocates business priorities at
national and regional level. More than 3,000
experts drawn from ICC’s member companies feed
their knowledge and experience into crafting the
ICC stance on specific business issues.

exercise its jurisdiction when certain
conditions are met, such as when national
courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute
criminals or when the United Nations
Security Council or individual states refer
situations to the Court.

military action through Security Council
resolutions; it is the only UN body with the
authority to issue binding resolutions to member
states. The Security Council held its first session on
17 January 1946.
Security Council resolutions are typically enforced
by UN peacekeepers, military forces voluntarily
provided by member states and funded
independently of the main UN budget. As of 2016,
103,510 peacekeepers and 16,471 civilians were

GREENPEACE
Greenpeace is known for its direct actions and has
been described as the most visible environmental
organization in the world. Greenpeace has raised
environmental issues to public knowledge, and
influenced both the private and the public sector.
Greenpeace has also been a source of
controversy; its motives and methods (some of
the latter being illegal) have received criticism,
including an open letter from more than 100
Nobel laureates urging Greenpeace to end its
campaign against genetically modified organisms
(GMOs). The organization's direct actions have
sparked legal actions against Greenpeace activists,
such as fines and suspended sentences for
destroying a test plot of genetically modified
wheat and damaging the Nazca Lines, a UN World
Heritage site in Peru.
