The WCIP Plan of Operation is an illustration of a remarkably ambitious organizational effort which reflects the hopes and desires of the political leadership among indigenous peoples. In many ways the World Council is more like the United Nations or the organization of American States, typically known as intergovernmental organizations. Because of this reality the World Council suffers under the same difficulties as these other world governmental organizations. It has no direct power to create laws, regulate human behavior or control an economic system. It can only inspire and influence human and institutional actions.
