Extract

40th session: The 40th session of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Executive Board was held in Montevideo, Uruguay on December 11, 1954, under the chairmanship of Dr. Arcot L. Mudaliar (India). The Board approved a few drafting amendments to its Rules of Procedure as a result of amendments made to the Constitution by the eighth session of the General Conference; it postponed further discussion of drafting amendments to the rules until the Board's 41st session. After electing the chairmen for the finance commission, the program commission and the external relations commission, the Board requested its Bureau to submit proposals on membership to the permanent commissions to its next session. The Board authorized the Director-General to continue consultations with the Organization of American States (OAS) in regard to a regional conference in Latin America in 1956 on the extension of free and compulsory school education, and if possible, to prepare and convene such a conference in Brazil in the fall of 1955 in association with OAS.
