Provides basic two letter alphabetic codes (ISO alpha-2 country code), three letter codes (ISO alpha-3 country code) for special purposes and three digit numerical codes (ISO numeric-3 country codes established by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. The basic principle used in developing the alphabetic codes in this standard was a visual association between the codes and the entity names in English and French, and also in other languages. The codes represent the names of countries, dependencies and other areas of special interest for purposes of international exchange, without indicating expression of any sort of opinion about the legal status of any country or territory or of its authorities, or about the delimitation of its frontiers.
