Following reappraisal of the role of the Commission in 1961 and 1966, current name was adopted to clarify its role as a preparatory and advisory body of ECOSOC. In its resolution 50/161 of 22 Dec 1995, the General Assembly of A-XA3375 - United Nations (UN) decided that the General Assembly, ECOSOC and the Commission should constitute a three-tiered intergovernmental process in the follow-up to the implementation of the Copenhagen (Denmark) Declaration on Social Development and Programme of Action of the World Summit for Social Development. In ECOSOC resolution 1996/7, additional terms of reference were adopted.
