Editorial Note
The Economic Agreement of Bogotá, as approved at the Ninth International Conference of American States, was not submitted to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification, nor was it ratified by the necessary two-thirds of the signatory states required to make it enter into force. Only Costa Rica, Honduras (with a reservation), and Panama ratified the Agreement.
Consideration of the draft Additional Protocol to the Economic Agreement was not completed during 1949, and the proposed Inter-American Economic Conference at Buenos Aires was not held.
For the texts of resolutions approved by the Inter-American Economic and Social Council, April 10, 1950, on the Inter-American Economic Conference and on Reservations to the Economic Agreement of Bogotá, see Annals, 1950, pages 254 ff. These resolutions had the effect of postponing action on both these matters by projecting further study on them.
