A body corporate is an organisation that is formed by a group of people, identified by a particular name, and which acts as an entity.
An international organisation is legally established, has authority, and is created for a specific purpose, e.g. United Nations, World Health Organization or NATO.
These include green and white papers, bills, statutes or acts, amendments to acts, regulations and government notices, all of which are published in the government and provincial gazettes.
The annual reports of various government departments and bodies, the parliamentary debates published in the Hansards, and various reports and commissions of inquiry all fall under this category. Government or state publications are examples of works by corporate authors.
