An organization that is contrary to the interests of the US: that's exactly the sort of thing you want no American representatives in. Ideally, you don't even want second-hand information about what they are talking about and what decisions they are making.

Reminds me of Brexit: let’s leave Europe; we’re still going to be affected by its laws because they’re our closest and biggest neighbours, but now we don’t even have a seat at the table to further our interests.

Welcome the era of political own goals.

Britain distinctly claims part ownership of a foreign county, which had complicated trade with said country and its trade union.
own goals is apt for Brexit, but for the US it'd be more of a footgun
> interests of the US

To achieve your goal, you have to go one step further and remove deviators from parliamentary bodies too.

In your opinion, what's an example of such an organization? And why? What are the US's interests in that case?
S/he's being sarcastic.
Thanks.
I know, right!? Wait! You don't?
I guess what you really want inside bodies that are contrary to your interests is not your official representatives, but moles pretending to be representatives of other states. (But not nobody at all.)
Aren't all official reps moles? That's what a diplomat does - represent your best interests with a big smile talking to their guy or gal that also has a big smile. We're all friends here... until we're not.
pretty sure that all decisions are published. protocols of the meetings as well
