prevalecen por intereses nacionales
reglamento organizativo y operativo de la red, así mismo, mencionó que es
necesario crear una aplicación o página web privada para el intercambio de
ideas.
El señor Torrez consultó si existe una estructura organizacional ya concebida,
así mismo, comentó que es necesario identificar los medios a través de los
cuales se va a materializar la información y conocer los límites del intercambio
de información, tomando en cuenta que **los estados prevalecen por intereses
nacionales***.
Por el contexto, estoy asumiendo que con "estados" quieren decir "States/Nations" , por consiguiente:
"... taking in to account that nations prevail..."

Non-PRO (1): AllegroTrans
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Meaning "se rigen por" (with the sense of "son impulsados/motivados por/orientados hacia"), which could have been a happier ST lexical choice.
I find it rich and flexible enough to fit the context.
Good luck!

: No, they're driven both by national interests and those of the organisation.
