 Anyone may use CC licenses for works they own, including IGOs.  The reasons for doing so vary, and often include a desire to maximize the impact and utility of works for educational and informational purposes, and to enhance transparency.
-Creative Commons published a 3.0 ported license suite specifically intended for use by IGOs.  These ported licenses -- known as the 3.0 IGO ported licenses -- grant all of the same permissions as our international (unported) 3.0 licenses; however, they have two unique provisions.  First, unlike all other 3.0 licenses, where the licensor is an IGO then unless otherwise agreed upon, disputes are resolved by mediation or, if that is unsuccessful, through arbitration.  This provision was included in response to the challenges IGOs face with enforcing their copyright.  IGOs have privileges and immunities from national legal processes, including judicial processes.  Waiving that immunity so they can bring suit in a national legal forum can be exceedingly difficult.  Instead, IGOs typically use mediation and arbitration as the preferred means to resolve legal disputes.

	No, the only differences are the mediation and arbitration processes and the ability to cure a violation and regain your rights as a licensee. CC and the IGOs took great care to ensure that the interpretation of the licenses are no different otherwise than the 3.0 international licenses. The adjudicating body (the mediation or arbitration tribunal) will interpret the scope of the license and remaining obligations in accordance with general principles of international law. Exceptions and limitations remain unregulated by those licenses as well.

 You should be aware of the dispute resolution mechanism in the license, which is contained in Section 8(h).  Disputes involving works licensed by IGOs under the licenses are resolved by mediation and arbitration.
-Generally, mediation is a process used to avoid settling a dispute in court.  The process typically involves a neutral third party (called a mediator) who tries to help the parties resolve the dispute.  Mediation is not binding, however, unless the parties agree otherwise.  Arbitration is also used to avoid settling a dispute in court, but the third party (called an arbitrator) has authority to make a decision in favor of one party.  Arbitration tends to be more formal than mediation.

 '''''Before using any work licensed by an IGO under the IGO 3.0 ported licenses, be sure you understand what the mediation and arbitration processes are that have been chosen by the IGO and know what they mean for you. IGOs typically designate those in the copyright notice attached to the work.'''''

 IGOs have the ability to designate the particular mediation and arbitration rules in the copyright notice attached to the work, though the licensor and user of the work can always agree otherwise.  If none is designated and no agreement is reached, then the mediation rules will be those identified in the notice of mediation sent to the licensee.  If the matter progresses to arbitration, then unless otherwise stated in the copyright notice the rules that apply are the current Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (known as the [http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/uncitral_texts/arbitration.html UNCITRAL arbitration rules]).  The UNCITRAL rules are widely used by IGOs and others.

 Creative Commons has published special deeds for the IGO 3.0 ported licenses that emphasize that disputes are resolved by mediation and arbitration.  You should always take note '''before using a work by an IGO''' whether the license used is an IGO 3.0 ported license.
