Extract

The United Nations Maritime Conference, convened by the Economic and Social Council in Geneva from February 19 to March 6, 1948, drew up the Constitution of an Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization. The Constitution was to enter into force when ratified by 21 nations, seven of which were to have a total tonnage of not less than 1,000,000 gross tons of shipping. A preparatory committee was created by the conference, to make preliminary arrangements for the first session of the Assembly of the organization, and a draft agreement designed to bring IMCO within the framework of the United Nations as a specialized agency was also formulated.
