General Assembly Resolutions

Resolutions are adopted by the Council at each General Assembly. For your general information, all past IUGG (Union) Resolutions adopted at General Assemblies since Zurich (1967), with the exception of Canberra (1979), are posted here. The Resolutions for Canberra are missing. If anyone has a copy of those Resolutions, the Secretariat would very much like to have a copy of both the English and French versions.
