#Making of significant decisions by a body that is not made of national representatives and that does not receive instructions from national governments. (Though such a body is frequently elected by national authorities or their constituents. Frequently such a body is made up of officials acting in an individual capacity.)
#The subjects or participants (national governments or individuals) are legally obligated to comply with the decisions of the body.
#Individuals or other private parties may interact directly with the body and/or have legal obligations as stated above.
