International organisation
International Telecommunication Union
The oldest organisation in the UN system -- founded in 1865 for the telegraph -- and the registry through which states share spectrum, orbital slots and numbering.
- Abbreviation
- ITU
- Founded
- 1865
- Headquarters
- Geneva
- Member states
- 188 resolved, 193 published by the organisation
- Official site

The two counts differ. International Telecommunication Union publishes 193 members; 188 resolved against the 193 states this site has checked. Sometimes that is a disagreement about what counts as a member state — a non-UN state, a territory, a suspended member — and sometimes the compiled source lacks a current statement for a real one. Either way the gap is shown rather than smoothed over, because a table that quietly shows one number cannot be checked against the other.
The Holy See is an ITU member state without being a UN member, and does not appear in the table below.
Member states
Ordered by accession. A state with no recorded date is listed last rather than given one.
A joining date is the one the source records, which may be the day a treaty was signed or the day it took effect. States that joined together can therefore differ by months here.
