After approving the report of the Committee on Inter-American Organizations regarding the inter-American codification agencies, the Council of the Organization of American States, at its meeting on October 4, 1950, declared that certain inter-American agencies had ceased to function and that the functions assigned in the charter of the organization to the Council and its permanent committee included all the “essential attributes formerly invested in” these agencies. This action was taken pursuant to a resolution of the Ninth International Conference of American States and after consultation with the Inter-American Council of Jurists. Agencies declared defunct were: the Inter-American Conference of American Jurists, the Committee of Experts for the Codification of International Law, the Permanent Committee of Rio de Janeiro for the Codification of Public International Law, the Permanent Committee of Montevideo for the Codification of Private International Law, the Permanent Committee of Havana on Comparative Legislation and Uniformity of Legislation, and the Permanent Committee of Jurists for the Unification of the Civil and Commercial Laws of America.

A clearer definition of the scope and purposes of the Pan American Union and a reaffirmation of faith and confidence in the purposes of the institution and the principles which it represents, are among the outstanding accomplishments of the Sixth International Conference of American States, which met at Habana from January 16 to February 20,1928. The discussions by the committee appointed to consider the organization of the Union demonstrated anew the interest of the representatives of the twenty-one Republics in the institution and their desire to make it of the greatest possible influence in cementing the bonds of economic, social and cultural union between the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Throughout the proceedings it was clearly evident that all the delegates were animated by these motives. Differences of opinion that developed were not of a fundamental character, affecting the existence of the Union itself, but related to the extent of the powers to be granted to the institution and to matters of internal organization. At the same time the results of the deliberations definitely settled the doubts and possible misunderstandings that had previously existed with respect to the extent of the political authority that the Union might exercise.
