In what ways are these not "organisations formed from separate groups or bodies"?

The OED has "A society or league formed for joint action or mutual support; now chiefly, a body formed by a number of separate states, societies, etc., each retaining control of its own internal affairs." Dbfirs 14:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
