III.B.25 OAS Convention on Asylum, Adopted by the Sixth International Conference of American States (20 February 1928)

A clearer definition of the scope and purposes of the Pan American Union and a reaffirmation of faith and confidence in the purposes of the institution and the principles which it represents, are among the outstanding accomplishments of the Sixth International Conference of American States, which met at Habana from January 16 to February 20,1928. The discussions by the committee appointed to consider the organization of the Union demonstrated anew the interest of the representatives of the twenty-one Republics in the institution and their desire to make it of the greatest possible influence in cementing the bonds of economic, social and cultural union between the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Throughout the proceedings it was clearly evident that all the delegates were animated by these motives. Differences of opinion that developed were not of a fundamental character, affecting the existence of the Union itself, but related to the extent of the powers to be granted to the institution and to matters of internal organization. At the same time the results of the deliberations definitely settled the doubts and possible misunderstandings that had previously existed with respect to the extent of the political authority that the Union might exercise.

The Sixth International Conference of American States which met at Havana on January 16, 1928, adopted a resolution, proposed by the Argentine delegation, recommending to the Governing Board of the Pan American Union “ the calling of a special conference of representatives of the Union, to be held at such place and date as it may designate, for the purpose of studying in its amplest scope the problem of the Inter-American protection of trade marks.” 1 The conclusions of that conference are to be forwarded, through the medium of the Pan American Union, to the consideration of the different governments without the need of a later reference to the Seventh International Conference of American States.
