UN: The UN is a hugely important organization, acting as the head honcho for almost everything considered injustice on a global scale. One of their major duties is the escorting of refugees to a safer place, and a good example of this is the situation behind Venezuela. If you haven't heard yet, Venezuela's been in a bit of a pickle when it comes to economy as the inflation rate soared over 1,600,000% in 2018, but now the government has mellowed out a bit, and it now lies at significant less ridiculous 5,600%. This has caused Venezuelan currency's value to expectedly drop, it is now used as wallpaper, toilet paper, it costs more to make a Venezuelan dollar than the actual dollar is worth. This caused a lot of people to flee the country, in particular, families. The UN got involved with this practice as well, hoping to compensate the host communities where these refugees were being sent.
IMF: The IMF (International Monetary Fund) also had its toes in Venezuelan Issues, as you'd expect, through offered assistance. Venezuela was responsible for nationalizing many different industries, like oil productions, telecommunication, mining, metallurgy, and banking. This allowed them to get a jumpstart in the economy because of the high price of oil, but as oil prices steadily dropped, the leaders became a bit stressed, and started to panic, leading to the current crisis.
CSTO: The CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) is the union between Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Belarus, and Uzbekistan. However, recently Russia has been trying to change this symbolically political relationship into more of a shared militaristic alliance. The main goal and reason is to create a new CSTO Rapid Reaction Force, and a larger Central Asian Military Group. If Russia does succeed on this, they would be able to use their newfound strength to control Western influence in Eurasia.
NATO: NATO is a military alliance between almost 30 different countries including the US and Russia. One of the biggest threats to the Middle East and constant source of fear across the world is ISIS, one of NATO's big jobs has been to keep ISIS under control. After a huge amount of Anti-ISIS missions in Iraq, the organization has been brought quite low, but there's still fear about how it could be brought back. Most of the local leaders are still alive, and there's still a few members that lie in hiding. It's likely not going to be very successful, but there's a slight possibility that the organization might be brought back, how long it keeps up, that's for Iraq to decide.
