  1. ^ Belarus applied for CoE membership in 1993 and held a special guest status at CoE between 1992-1997, when its application was frozen and the special guest status revoked over elections classified as undemocratic by the CoE.
  2. ^ Cuba membership in the OAS was suspended 1962-2009, but it has not ratified the OAS treaties signed during this time, which is a requirement for re-gaining membership.
  3. ^ Morocco left the AU's predecessor (the OAU) in 1984, when OAU admitted the Sahrawi Republic
