ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL
Interpreting stat i s t i c s would be
fac i l i t a t e d i f the Gregorian Caleadar vere reformed, and i f principles
of systematization and rationalization vere adopted to correct the
anomalies at present existing i n that calendar;
Considering that the advantages of reforming the calendar would
extend to a l l branches of human activity;
Considering that the Peruvian representative to the United Nations
Economic and Social Council proposed the appointment of a Committee of
five members of that.body to study the adoption, on 1 January 1950, of
a new ceilendar, as drafted by The World Calendar Association, and to
take the necessary measures to secure approval of this step by the General
Assembly of the United Nations;
Considering that the calendar drafted by The World Calendar Associatic
the adoption of which i s also under discussion in the united States
House of Representatives, as the result of a proposal submitted in
January 19^7» makes no great changes i n the traditional calendar used
by most countries, but embodies a number of principles, such as the
division of the year into twelve months, with each quarterly period
containing thirteen weeks, 91 days, and the same number of Sundays and
weekdays, so that each year, quarter or week starts on a Sunday and
ends on a Saturday, and the introduction of a "Year-end World Holiday"
and another similar holiday between Jxxne and July in Leap years;
Considering that the date of 1 January 1950 i s recognized as ideal
to start the new World Calendar, because that year begins on a Sunday,
which woiLLd render easier the transition from one system to the other,
and because i t also marks the beginning of the second half of the
twentieth century;
Considering further that B r a z i l , when giving her opinion of studies
carried out by the Committee for Communications and Transit of the
League of Nations between 1923 and 1937, ^pon the question of the reform
/of the
E/1271
Page 3
of the calendar, o f f i c i a l l y declared herself in favour of providing a
substitute for the Gregorian Calendar;
Considering that the Council, i n i t s resolution 33 of i k July 1937
gave i t s support to the plan for the reform of the calendar dratm up
by the League of nations;
Considering, l a s t l y , that the Institute's opinion upon the proposal
for the reform of the calendar subniitted to the consideration of the
United Hâtions has been o f f i c i a l l y requested,, i t hereby
RESOLVES
Article 1. (...) The Council siso wishes to place on record i t s support
for the activities of the United Nations i n connexion with this matter,
expressing the hope that a world calendar w i l l be adopted within the
shortest possible time.
(...) Vihile refraining from expressing an opinion upon the
different proposals for calendars already prepared, the Assembly recommends
Brazilian statisticians to study the question and the po s s i b i l i t i e s of
organizing a propaganda programme to popularize the idea of reforming
the calendar and to prepare public opinion for the adoption of whichever
new system may be approved.

0 r f g f n a I: Eng 1 I sh
on the appointment of an ad-hoc Committee to study !HE WORLD
CALENDAR.
Presented by the Representative of Peru.
W1iEREAS the rev1s1on of the Gregorian Calendar has been
for long the subject of study and research on•the part of ex-
perts, institutions and international organizations, and sev-
eral nations have in principle expressed already their wil-
lingness to adopt a new one;
WEEREAS it is widely recognized that the present calendar
is unsatisfactory for the economic, social, educational, scien-
tific and other activities of man; that there exists a general
desire to bring about its revision, and that the new calendar
should have twelve months and equal quarters, be perpetually
the same, with a stable pattern of quarter-years, months, weeks,
days and fixed holydays;
1
WHEREAS the World Calendar Association of New York has
devoted itself to the study of the calendar, preparing the
adequate plans for the adoption of '1HE WORLD CALEtIDAR on
January 1st 1950 as the most appropiate date for the trans-
ition from the Gregorian Calendar to the new one;
WHEREAS the acceptance of nm WORLD CALENDAR per force
requires a basic international understanding, prior to the
passing of the respective national legislative resolutions; and
~EEREAS this basic international understanding can better
be reached through a recommendation of the Economic and Social
Council to the General Assembly of the United Nations, according
to article 62 of the Charter;
NOW, THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED,
1. THAT the Economic and Social Council appoints an ad-hoc Com-
mittee of five members to study and pass judgment on the adoption
of a new calendar on January 1st 1950, as it is drafted by the
World Calendar Association, and which is attached herein; and

UTILIZATION OF CONFERENCE FACILITIES AND SERVICES AT THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT NAIROBI : REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
They
differ from the figures presented in earlier reports owing to two factors, namely,
(a) improved ability to clarify types of meetings (including calendar and non-
calendar meetings) and (b) increased accuracy of reporting based on electronic tools
to track utilization of conference resources. (...) Planning and coordination (Table 1)
2. Calendar meetings with interpretation showed fluctuation from the first year of
the biennium to the second year, mainly because only one calendar meeting, the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is held in the first year of each
biennium, while two Governing Council meetings (UNEP and UN-Habitat) are held
in the second year. (...) For non-calendar meetings there is a steady growth
(around 10 to 11 per cent) since the establishment of a permanent Interpretation
Service in Nairobi in 2001.
