Summary/Abstract: International organizations occupy an important place in the world system, are in large numbers [1], are classified into various typologies, and have a wide range of research and analysis. In this context, a special place is occupied by international security organizations in which a certain hierarchy is highlighted. The prominent position is on international collective security organizations of major importance, such as the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which have a well-defined status that includes a stated purpose in the field of collective security, a wide space for the manifestation of competence, and a considerable number of participating members. At the same time, there are international security organizations of an inferior hierarchical nature or security organizations of secondary importance [2]. Although such organizations have a stated purpose in the field of security and cover a considerable geographical area, they do not occupy a decisive place in the world system, do not refer to the category of collective security organizations themselves, have a lower hierarchical character in relation to the concept of Collective Security, having an important role mainly in the regional level. This category includes: The Organization of American States (OAS), The African Union (AU), The League of Arab States (LAS), The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), etc. [3].
