DEFINITIONS

For the purpose and interpretation of this Constitution:

Tertiary or University Students (TUS) pursuing higher educational courses at universities, educational institutions, training and technical colleges may obtain through their unions full, associate, or consultative membership status of the IUS. This shall also apply in the case of unions with mixed TUS and Secondary-School Student (SESS) membership. Unions with pure SESS membership may obtain only consultative status of the IUS.

  2. The definition of "country and/or territory" shall be regarded as those which are included in the relevant list of countries/territories elaborated by the United Nations. Addenda or amendments to this list can be made by a 2/3 majority of votes cast at IUS Congresses or Council meetings.
