may appear disjointed
I think you may have to add something to the effect that, "..,, thus eliminating the risk that different organizations' **responses** [Nombre de la organización] may (will) appear disjointed ... , or turn the sentence around somehow. What bothers me a little is that there is mention of one organization whose name you have omitted, but the text speaks to several, so to stick in [Nombre de la organización] after the ' may be awkward, I think.
Wait for other better ideas, but that I think is the general gist.

Note from asker:
| I do understand you Taña when you say "What bothers me a little is that there is mention of one organization whose name you have omitted, but the text speaks to several", but actually that is the way the wrote it. I think that the idea is that they cannot act on their own not adhering to the principles of the organization. Does it make sense if we interpret it in that way? |
| No había leído el comentario de David, pero por el contexto creo que esa es la idea, es decir: "appear (to be) separate (entities)" and not a "single organization/entity" |
