International Institute for Sustainable Development

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is a Canada-based non-profit organisation. It was founded in 1990 with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency, Environment Canada and the provincial government of Manitoba.
At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, better known as the Earth Summit, IISD supported the activities of a small group of environmentalists who published a daily report of proceedings, the Earth Summit Bulletin, and thereafter hired most of them to continue their reporting work at post-Rio conferences. Teams from IISD Reporting Services have since produced Earth Negotiations Bulletin reports on over 370 environment and development negotiating conferences, and over 140 smaller conferences and workshops on sustainability issues.
IISD currently has an annual budget of about 12 million dollars (Canadian) and a team of 150 staff and associated consultants from over 30 countries, who conduct research and reporting in a variety of areas related to sustainable development. IISD also hosts sustainability initiatives including the Finance Alliance for Sustainable Trade (FAST) and Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI).

International Marxist Group

The International Marxist Group, a section of the Trotskyist Fourth International, Unified Secretariat, emerged in the mid 1960s the journal 'The Week'. It began as an entryist group working within the Labour Party, before breaking away in 1968.International Marxist Group (IMG), later the Socialist League, Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick.
The International Marxist Group was one of the three main overt Trotskyist groups monitored by F Branch of MI5 in the 1970s, according to Christopher Andrew.Christopher Andrew, The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5, Allen Lane, 2009, p.660.
In 1977 its newspaper, 'Socialist Challenge', first appeared. Its membership peaked in the 1970s at around 1000 but by 1983 its membership had fallen to around 700.International Marxist Group (IMG), later the Socialist League, Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick. 
In the early 1980s it reverted back to entryism although it chose not to refer to its members or branches within the Labour Party, instead referring to 'Socialist Challenge' supporters. In December 1982 the Group changed its name to the Socialist League and its associated newspaper from 'Socialist Challenge' to 'Socialist Action'. By 1990 the circulation of 'Socialist Action' was around 500.International Marxist Group (IMG), later the Socialist League, Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick.

International Monetary Conference

Established as an international arm of the American Bankers Association in the early 1950s to act as host for a conference of the principal officials of the large American and foreign banks. Its spiritual director was Herbert V. Prochnow, Chicago's banking legend. For decades the chief executives of the world's hundred largest banks from the private sector could use the IMC to get acquainted, exchange views with their peers, and listen to central bank governors and other financial officials.
:This year's IMC meeting at the Hotel Adlon in Berlin--under the presidency of Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of the board of Sweden's SEB--says a lot about the dramatic changes and upheavals in the world of global banking. To use the time of the top executives in global banking most efficiently, the IMC was followed, on June 4-5, by the spring meeting of the IMC's sister organization, the Institute of International Finance (IIF), at the same location.

International Organizations Division

Division of the CIA set up in 1950 to control psychological warfare operations. Its first head was Tom Braden.Who Paid the Piper, The CIA and the Cultural Cold War, Francis Stonor Saunders, Granta Books, 2000, p97.
::The IOD operated according to the same principles that guided Wisner's management of the Non-Communist Left. The purpose of supporting leftist groups was not to destroy or even to dominate, but rather to maintain a discreet proximity to and monitor the thinking of such groups; to provide them with a mouthpiece so that they could blow off steam; and, in extremis, to exercise a final veto on their publicity and possibly their actions if they ever got too 'radical'. Braden issued clear instructions to his newly established IOD posts in Europe: 'Limit the money to amounts private organisations can credibly spend; disguise the extent of American interest; protect the integrity of the organisation by not requiring it to support every aspect of official American policy.'Who Paid the Piper, The CIA and the Cultural Cold War, Francis Stonor Saunders, Granta Books, 2000, p98.
