Observers usually have neither the right to speak nor the right to vote in relevant meetings of international organizations and cannot participate in substantive discussions. However, observers have access to all the information for the meeting and sometimes can make formal recommendations. Observers enjoy certain benefits and facilities, bear only minor obligations, and have no legal status as Member States. Usually, becoming an observer of an international organization is the first step towards becoming a member of that international organization.

"Observation" in observers is two-way: on the one hand, an observer can observe the international organizations it participates in to decide whether to join the organization; on the other hand, an international organization also observes its observers to decide whether to authorize its membership .
