Reports of the United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas 

Background of the Conference

Taking note of the success of the regional cartographic conferences held in the region of Asia and the Pacific since 1955 and the region of Africa since 1963, and recognizing the need to hold similar conferences in other regions in which they have not yet been held, the Economic and Social Council, at its fifty-sixth session, from 22 April to 17 May 1974, adopted resolution 1839 (LVI) which "Requests the Secretary-General to make the necessary arrangements to convene the First United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for the Americas during the first quarter of 1976".
