In the framework of the UN, regionalism has two meanings. First, there are regional groupings and commissions starting their life early in the history of the UN and recognized during 1960s as a means to facilitate UN’s work in several areas from maintaining international peace and security to cooperation in economic, social and cultural issues. Secondly, there are other international organizations, some of which are regional ones, and collaboration between them and the universal organization.
