Eighth General Conference

The eighth General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was held in Montevideo, Uruguay, from November 12 to December 10, 1954, under the chairmanship of Justino Zavala Muniz (Uruguay). Of the 72 UNESCO members, 69 attended the conference, seven of whom had become members since the last General Conference (Spain, Nepal, Libya, Chile, the Soviet Union, Byelorussia and the Ukraine) and three of whom (Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary) had resumed active participation after previously withdrawing. In addition, the Conference was attended by observers from non-member states, the United Nations and international and nongovernmental organizations.
