United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for Asia and
the Pacific
(formerly: for Asia and the Far East)
Background of the Conference
In February
1948, the Economic and Social Council in resolution 131(VI) recommended
that Governments of Member States stimulate surveying and mapping
of their national territories and that the Secretary-General of
the United Nations take appropriate action to further such efforts.
A Committee of Experts on Cartography was appointed by the Secretary
General to study the problem and advise upon the means of its implementation.
The convening of regional cartographic conferences was recommended
by the Committee, which met in March-April 1949, as an effective
means to attain the objectives set forth in the resolution 131(VI).
At its ninth session the Economic and Social Council noted the report
of the Committee and requested the Secretary-General to consult
with Governments concerning the early calling of such meetings.
The results of these consultations indicated a wide measure of support
and a new impetus was given to the project when the Government of
India offered to act as host at the first conference for Asia and
the Far East, to provide a meeting place, and to be responsible
for all the physical arrangements for the conference. In accordance
with the Economic and Social Council resolution 476(XV), further
consulations were proceeded with. Many Governments expressed their
desire to participate in the conference for Asia and the Far East,
and proposed agenda items for the conference. The Economic and Social
Council, after consideration of this response, adopted resolution
556(XVIII) on 27 July 1954.
