History
7 Oct 1942, as Inter-American Institute of Agricultural Sciences (IAIAS) -- Institut interaméricain des sciences agricoles (IISA) -- Instituto Interamericano de Ciencias Agricolas (IICA), on the basis of a multilateral Convention, opened for signature by member countries of the then 'Pan American Union (PAU)', currently D-XD3030 - OAS. By virtue of that Convention, contracting states recognized the permanent status of the institution and its status as a legal entity in accordance with their own legislation. Executive Headquarters were originally established at PAU, with field operations in Turrialba (Costa Rica), but were transferred to Turrialba in 1946 and to San José (Costa Rica) in 1960. A convention for adoption of the present title opened for signature, 6 Mar 1979, and was adopted 8 Dec 1980, when two-thirds of the states party to the 1944 Convention had deposited their instruments of ratification. IICA is a specialized agency of the Inter-American System. Statutes registered in 'UNTS 1/19557'.
