CLASSIFICATION AND COUNTING
The United Nations and the Yearbook of International Organizations (https://uia.org/ybio/)
When the Union of International Associations resumed operations after World War II, officials at the United Nations Secretariat recognized the importance of its status as an independent research institute. When arrangements had been made for it to undertake publication of the 4th (1951-52) edition of the Yearbook of International Organizations, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations adopted unanimously at its 11th session on 20 July 1950, Resolution 334 B (XI):
The Economic and Social Council
Considering that the Union of International Associations had published a Yearbook of International Organizations which includes information regarding a very large number of international non-governmental organizations, and
Taking note of the intention of the Union of International Associations to continue the publication of such a yearbook, and to take into account in future editions suggestions offered and information made available by the United Nations.
Decides not to give any further consideration, at this time, to the publication by the United Nations of a handbook concerning non-governmental organizations.
After the appearance of the 4th edition the Economic and Social Council evidently felt that its confidence had not been misplaced, as at its 16th session (1953) it accepted the following recommendation by the Council Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations:
The Committee unanimously expressed its appreciation of the value and usefulness of the Yearbook of International Organizations published by the Union of International Associations. Members voiced the hope that the work of the Union would become even better known both to the public and to Member States and that its continuation would be secured. (UN Doc E/2489)
The annual Report of the Secretary-General on the Work of the Organization has regularly mentioned, in the final paragraph of the chapter on economic and social activities at United Nations headquarters, the phrase:
Under Council Resolution 334 B (XI), the Secretariat continues to co-operate with the Union of International Associations in the preparation of the annual edition of the Yearbook of International Organizations.
Referring to Resolution 128B (VI) of 10 March 1948 of the Economic and Social Council – which called for the compilation of a list of inter-governmental institutions with a view to examination by the Council of possible duplication and dispersal of efforts by such institutions – the Secretary-General of the UN, in a note dated 17 November 1955 (E/2088), proposed that the Council, if it should decide to undertake, as in the past, a general examination of the structure of intergovernmental organizations, should adopt as its basic document the Yearbook of International Organizations.
