The United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment (Havana, Cuba, November 1947-March 1948) drew up a charter for an International Trade Organization (ITO) and established an Interim Commission for the International Trade Organization (ICITO). The members of the Conference’s Preparatory Committee also negotiated tariffs among themselves and drew up the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Since the charter was never accepted, IT0 was not established. However, GATT-the only multilateral treaty that embodied reciprocal rights and obligations and laid down agreed rules for international trade-entered into force on 1 January 1948 with 23 contracting parties; ICITO provided the GATT secretariat.
