The FATF definition of International organisations includes three criteria: [R1.1][R2.1] (1) the entity must be established by an international agreement which has the status of a treaty; (2) the entity's existence is recognised by law; (3) the entity is not treated as a resident institutional unit of the countries in which it is located. The UK Commonwealth Secretariat Act 1966 gave the Commonwealth Secretariat legal personality together with privileges and immunities.[R10.1] This means it satisfies parts (2) and (3) of the definition. This leaves only part (1) to consider. The Commonwealth Secretariat was founded by a political agreement rather than a treaty and may at first glance appear to fail the first part of the definition. This is however a special case because legislation passed by the UK and other Commonwealth countries gives the agreement the functional status of a treaty. It is important to note that the FATF definition includes the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in its list of examples[R1.1][R2.1]. The OSCE's founding documents are statements of intent rather than treaties and this supports the view that FATF intended the definition to be applied in a functional way and in a way that can include some entities not formed by treaties. Accordingly, the Commonwealth Secretariat has been assessed as meeting the FATF definition of International organisation.

The FATF definition of International organisations includes three criteria: [R1.1][R2.1] (1) the entity must be established by an international agreement which has the status of a treaty; (2) the entity's existence is recognised by law; (3) the entity is not treated as a resident institutional unit of the countries in which it is located. The Bank for International Settlements was founded as a result of the Hague Convention 1930. The Bank was granted immunities by the Protocol regarding the immunities of the Bank for International Settlements of 1936 meaning that the Bank is not a residential unit of the countries in which it is based. It is therefore considered to meet all three criteria. Accordingly, the Bank for International Settlements has been assessed as meeting the FATF definition of International organisation.

The headquarters agreement confirms that International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center has legal personality together with privileges and immunities. This means it satisfies parts (2) and (3) of the definition. This leaves only part (1) to consider. The Center was founded by an agreement between the Mexican Government and the Rockefeller Foundation rather than a treaty and may at first glance appear to fail the first part of the definition. This is however a special case because subsequent agreements give the founding agreement the functional status of a treaty. It is important to note that the FATF definition includes the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in its list of examples[R1.1][R2.1]. The OSCE's founding documents are statements of intent rather than treaties and this supports the view that FATF intended the definition to be applied in a functional way and in a way that can include some entities not formed by treaties.

The 1993 agreement with the Swiss Federal Council confirms that the International Committee of the Red Cross has legal personality together with privileges and immunities. This means it satisfies parts (2) and (3) of the definition. This leaves only part (1) to consider. The International Committee of the Red Cross is constituted as a private association formed under the Swiss civil law rather than being created by treaty and may at first glance appear to fail the first part of the definition. This is however a special case because subsequent agreements give the statutes the functional status of a treaty. In addition, an international court has stated that 'by accepting to be bound by the Geneva Conventions, the States party to them have agreed to the special role and mandate of the ICRC.'[R13] It is important to note that the FATF definition includes the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in its list of examples[R1.1][R2.1]. The OSCE's founding documents are statements of intent rather than treaties and this supports the view that FATF intended the definition to be applied in a functional way and in a way that can include some entities not formed by treaties. Accordingly, the International Committee of the Red Cross has been assessed as meeting the FATF definition of International organisation.
