The Yearbook of International Organizations, although originally covering only international organizations in the traditional sense, has broadened its scope in order to reflect international activity in a much more general manner.
The editorial intent is not to provide a "judgement" or "definition" of an organization, and priority is normally given to providing a profile in the words of the organization itself. Every effort is made by the editors to check this information against other sources. The information is at no time considered complete, rather it reflects a "work in progress".

In 2006, Tourism Australia spent 180 million dollars
on a disastrous global campaign featuring the swimsuit model Lara
Bingle, who posed the question: “So where the bloody hell are you?” The
proper question, perhaps, would have been whether or not foreign
standards authorities would allow the slogan at all. The United Kingdom,
Australia’s third-largest tourist market after New Zealand and China,
banned the ad for being vulgar, and tourism numbers from there and other
target markets plunged.
It is not the intention of the editors to take a position with regard to the political or diplomatic implications of geographical names or continental groupings used in the Yearbook. The names of countries used may not be the complete official names of those countries. The geographical names used are chosen for the sake of brevity and common usage. Wherever possible, the country (or territory) name preferred by the organization concerned is used, providing this is possible within the limits of standardization required for mailing or statistical purposes.
Some organizations included in the Yearbook of International Organizations are perceived as highly suspect by other bodies, whether because of dubious academic standing, questionable values or as a threat to public order. The editors do not act on such judgements which may be contradicted by others.
