The International Union of Students (IUS) was a worldwide nonpartisan association of university student organizations.[1][2][3]

The IUS was the umbrella organization for 155 such students' organizations across 112 countries and territories representing approximately 25 million students. This was recognised by the United Nations granting the IUS a consultative status in UNESCO. The primary aim of the IUS was to defend the rights and interests of students to promote improvement in their welfare and standard of education and to prepare them for their tasks as democratic citizens. [2][4] It collapsed in the 2000s due to an unreliable membership system and a lack of grassroots engagement.[5]
