8.1. Birth dates of international organization officers
8.2. Birth dates of international organization officers
8.3. Citizenship of international organization officers
8.4. Languages spoken by international organization officers

In order to enhance the picture presented by the statistical tables, in some cases certain assumptions were made on the basis of name. While the inclusion of some of these items of information can be questioned, the editors maintain that, in some circumstances, all of this information can be useful to users. In addition, as one of the intentions of this collection is to produce a picture of the kind of people serving in significant positions in international organizations, statistics based on personal information serve a particular purpose. If a biographee requested that certain information be excluded then the editors made every effort to respect this request.
