UCLG World Organization has a decentralized structure, operating in 8 (7+1) world regions, namely Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Euroasia, Middle East and West Asia (UCLG-MEWA), Latin America and North America, as well as the Metropolitan Section. Regional sections autonomously set their own policies and administer their own affairs, provided these are not contrary to the Constitution of the World Organization.

REGIONAL SECTIONS

Article 8             Regional sections


Regional sections of the World Organisation, recognised in accordance with the provisions of this constitution, are members as of right.

REGIONAL SECTIONS


Article 25


Regional sections shall establish their own constitution and governing bodies and are established as independent legal entities. They set their own policies and administer their own affairs, provided these are not contrary to this Constitution.

Article 26


Regional sections are part of the World Organisation’s operating structure. They do not preclude direct membership in the World Organisation, but provide the World Organisation with institutional support within their agreed geographical area in pursuing its mission and objectives.


Article 27


Regional sections co-ordinate and facilitate membership in their geographical area. With their members, they provide support to the policies and activities decided by the governing bodies of the World Organisation. They perform a policy, programming and administrative role within the World Organisation, and a co-ordinating role in relation to the electoral process, within the framework of this Constitution.


Article 28


The formal establishment of a regional section shall be approved by the World Council, taking into account the existing situation and after full consultation with local government members affected by the establishment of the section.


Article 29


There shall be a written agreement between the World Organisation and each regional section, in which the division of tasks and mutual responsibilities shall be defined and agreed. The conclusion of such an agreement shall be a pre-condition for the establishment of a regional section. These agreements shall take into account the diversity and specific needs of each regional section, in relation to its context and the characteristics of its membership and area


Article 30


With the exception of particular conditions (if any) set out in such agreements, the World Organisation is not liable for debts and liabilities of the regional sections, nor shall regional sections have liability for debts and liabilities of the World Organisation.

Article 31


The World Organisation shall coordinate, at world level, the multilateral activities of its members for which it has received a mandate.
