Institutional and administrative matters

In 2003, the United Nations continued to address administrative and institutional matters in order to ensure the efficient functioning of the Organization. The General Assembly resumed its fiftyseventh session and its tenth emergency special session; it opened its fifty-eighth session on 16 September. It granted observer status to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, the Eurasian Economic Community, the GUUAM (a regional agreement among Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and the Republic of Moldova) and the East African Community. The World Tourism Organization became a UN specialized agency.
