Organization of American States

Abstract

On October 11, 1949 the Council of the Organization of American States adopted a resolution designating the city of Bogotá as the seat of the tenth Pan American Child Congress and setting 1952 as the year in which the Congress should meet. Approval was given on November 2 to the report and second draft statute of the Inter-American Council of Jurists submitted by the Committee on the Organs of the Council and Their Statutes; the draft was put into force provisionally. The Council decided to transmit it to the governments of the American republics and to the Inter-American Juridical Committee for observation. The activities of the Inter-American Trade Mark Bureau were declared to have ceased, while the report and second draft statute of the Inter-American Cultural Council as submitted by the Committee on the Organs of the Council and Their Statutes was approved by the Council and transmitted to the governments. After this committee had received the observations of the Inter-American Cultural Council and prepared a definitive text of the statute on the basis of these comments, it was to submit the text to the Council of the Organization. Finally, at its meeting on November 2, the Council chose Mexico City as headquarters of the first meeting of the Inter-American Cultural Council and agreed in general upon the second half of 1950 as the time of meeting. The Cultural Council was requested to study the matter of the provisional creation and headquarters of the Committee for Cultural Action and submit recommendations on the provisional membership of the Committee for Cultural Action.
