The '''International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)''', is the voice of businesses worldwide, working towards the enhancement of economic growth, job creation and overall prosperity of businesses globally. The ICC carries out a host of activities, from imposing business self-regulation, to promoting open trade and market system, to working towards eliminating corruption and crime from the commercial world. 

It has direct access to the national governments of countries around the world through their national economics committees. It has a Paris-based international secretariat, who keeps watch on the latest happenings in the business world that have a direct impact on operations, and feeds these issues into intergovernmental organizations.<ref name="link">[http://www.iccwbo.org/id93/index.html iccwbo.org/id93/index.html]</ref>

The ICC World Council is similar to a general assembly made up of many intergovernmental organizations. The only thing setting the ICC apart is that their delegates are mostly business executives and not government bureaucrats. The Council is the ICC’s supreme governing body, the members of which are delegated by various national Committees. Ten members from countries without national committees are also invited to participate in the Council’s functions. The Council meets twice a year.<ref>[http://www.iccwbo.org/id96/index.html iccwbo.org/id96/index.html]</ref>
