Council

The International Council is the main governing body of IFOR. It takes place as necessary but at least once every four years and is made up of representatives of IFOR Branches, IFOR Groups (by invitation) and IFOR Affiliates. In the event of a conflict about representation of a group, affiliate or branch, the International Committee is empowered to determine which if any will be recognized and invited to the Council. The Council has the authority to review all determinations of representation by the International Committee.

The Principal Tasks of the IFOR Council are:

to review the work done since the previous Council meeting by the Fellowship as a whole through its regions, branches, committees, any working groups and the international secretariat;
to set priorities and directions for work to be undertaken in the next four year period;
to choose the IFOR President and the members of the IFOR International Committee
to ratify the appointment of the Treasurer and the IFOR Stichting members;
to take major constitutional decisions;
to recognize the admission of the Fellowship of new branches and affiliates or, if need arises, to decide on any exclusion or disaffiliation.

Basic decisions related to the organization of Council are made between Councils by the International Committee and the Representative Consultative Committee.

 



The IFOR constitution outlines the tasks and role of the International Council. It also outlines the main responsibilities regarding organizing and preparing for the Council.
