WIPO Assemblies
WIPO Assemblies develop global intellectual property agreements through bringing stakeholders together. The main policy and decision-making bodies of WIPO are the Coordination Committee and the General Assembly. Twenty-two Assemblies, the Unions administered by WIPO, and other bodies of the Member States of WIPO meet in ordinary or extraordinary sessions in autumn. The General Assembly appoints the Director General through nomination by the Coordination Committee. Any of the policy and decision-making bodies can constitute Permanent Committees or Standing Committees.
