UIA Resumed Activity

Following the war and the dispersion of its archives, the UIA resumed activity as an institute, separate from the Mundaneum.

In 1949, representatives of the UIA, the United Nations, and the Interim Committee of Non-Governmental Organizations met and decided not to attempt to rebuild the UIA as a federation of international associations, but to retain its title and its programme as a centre for documentation, study, service, and the promotion of closer relations between international associations.
