Amphictyony
Inspired by the ancient Amphictyony League of twelve tribes or a league-of-neighbors (7th century CE), the Amphictyony (International Executive Board) is the movement’s chief decision-making body. This modern-league-of-nations comprises twelve members, elected or nominated every four years by the General Assembly. The term “Amphictyony” comes from Amphictyonis - the Greek goddess of diplomacy and friendship among nations.
