• regional developments under the auspices of an intergovernmental organisation operational in the particular region [such as the Organisation of American States (OAS), African Union (AU), Council of Europe (CoE), European Union (EU)]. In respect of North Africa/ Middle East, the role of the Arab League may be explored; and in the Asia-Pacific, that of ASEAN, etc.
• developments of note at the domestic level in countries within the region, and the emergence of regional trends.
