The Executive Committee (EC) is composed of the following: two representatives from each sub-region, one each from regional organizations and the Secretariat. Representatives to the EC are elected by their respective sub-regions in a General Assembly and are confirmed by the General Forum. The EC acts as a central executive body of the organization and oversees
