Title
ICDISS: International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty
Description
The International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty claims to be a nonprofit nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of governance and the practical application of state sovereignty in new and developing countries.
According to its website, which is not independently verifiable, the need for an organization such as the ICDISS was seen as early as 1997 by participants of the conferences leading to the U.S. National Intelligence Council's "Global Trends 2010". At its founding, in December of 1999, the ICDISS was chartered with fostering research and realistic solutions to the increasing international challenges of weak and failing nation states' struggles with social problems, low institutionalization and recurring governance crises.
Members of the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty are tasked with seeking ways for weak state actors to build democratic, economically vibrant nations. Although most members currently live in the Western hemisphere, primarily in Mexico and the United States, as a virtual organization we are not restricted by geographical location and we invite membership applications from any region of the world.
The organisation's existence has been queried in The Economist and other publications

This organisation may well not exist. I wrote several articles about them in The Economist. Check the Wikipedia entry for more details
