What are supranational organizations?

Supranational organizations are entities formed by multiple countries that transcend national boundaries to promote cooperation and address issues that affect member states collectively. These organizations often have authority that can supersede national laws, allowing them to make decisions that member countries are obligated to follow. Examples include the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN), and the World Trade Organization (WTO). They typically focus on areas such as trade, security, environmental protection, and human rights.
