APPENDIX C
International Organizations and Groups
Note: The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) has
dissolved and ceases to exist. None of the successor states of the
former Yugoslavia, including Serbia and Montenegro, have been
permitted to participate solely on the basis of the membership of the
former Yugoslavia in the United Nations General Assembly and Economic
and Social Council and their subsidiary bodies and in various United
Nations specialized agencies. The United Nations, however, permits the
seat and nameplate of the SFRY to remain, permits the SFRY mission to
continue to function, and continues to fly the flag of the former
Yugoslavia. For a variety of reasons, a number of other organizations
have not yet taken action with regard to the membership of the former
Yugoslavia. The World Factbook therefore continues to list Yugoslavia
under international organizations where the SFRY seat remains or where
no action has yet been taken.
