The Council of IDU States, also called CIDUS or more formally the Council of International Democratic Union States, was an intergovernmental organisation in the International Democratic Union founded in 2014 to replace the long defunct IDU Council. The organisation lasted for almost four years before a vote of disestablishment was held after long periods of uncooperation and indifference by its members. It officially wound up on 31 December 2016.
CIDUS was established to act as a form of voluntary regional governance, similar to the World Assembly, for nations in the IDU. Examples of proposed legislation in CIDUS included trade regulations, cultural protections, and diplomatic immunity initiatives.
