World Health Organization 1 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER The Origin of the International Agency for Research on Cancer By R. Sohier and A.G.B. Sutherland Translated by John Cheney IARC Technical Report No. 6 Lyon 2015 2 Published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, 150 cours Albert Thomas, 69372 Lyon Cedex 08, France © International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2015 Translation of: La genèse du Centre international de Recherche sur le Cancer (Rapport technique du CIRC No. 6), 1990 ISBN 978-92-832-2455-6 Publications of the World Health Organization enjoy copyright protection in accordance with the provisions of Protocol 2 of the Universal Copyright Convention.

Note from the translator: This account of the process by which IARC came into being in the 1960s is based largely upon official documents, working papers, and correspondence that have been preserved, although much seems to have been lost. This material is largely in English, and it has been possible to refer to it in making the present English edition of the work by Sohier and Sutherland. Where possible, documents cited in full are copied from the original English, while for others that were summarized, as much as possible of the phraseology of the original English has been used, rather than making new translations to English from the earlier French edition. This will account for some small discrepancies in sense between the two editions. Certain corrections have also been made to errors that became evident during the process of translation. In certain cases, only a French document has survived even though an English version must have existed at the time, notably for the papers relating to the February 1964 meeting. Such documents have been freshly translated into English, but the result will inevitably differ somewhat from the official original English version. 3 Table of Contents Foreword ........................................................................................................................6 Introduction ....................................................................................................................7 1.

Andrew Morgan and Harry Pitt, former teachers, originally inspired me with an interest in history and in particular in Tocqueville. Penny Lang typed, checked, and commented on numerous versions of the text. Iris Macfarlane read the text several times. John Davey read the typescript twice and was his usual encouraging and wise self. Gabriel Andrade checked the proof of the electronic book version. Cecilia Scurrah Ehrhart carefully checked the footnotes. Lily Harrison Blakely through her birth gave me inspiration. To these I would like to add the University of Tokyo, and in particular Professor Takeo Funabiki, which funded a sabbatical term during which, among other things, I re-wrote sections of the text. Marilyn Strathern for, once again, shielding me from administrative pressures and for wise leadership. To Cherry Bryant for reading and checking the text several times. Michael Lotus encouraged me to abstract the book from its larger context and to publish it as an e-book.

  • The League of Nations Starts; an Outline by Its Organisers
    I ^^cL.<^i ^r/^ ^ THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS STARTS MACMILLAN AND CO., Limited LONDON • BOMBAV • CALCUTTA • MADRAS MELBOURNB THE MACMILLAN COMPANY NEW YORK • BOSTON - CHICAGO DALLAS • SAN FRANCISCO THE MACMILLAN CO. OF CANADA, Ltd. TORONTO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS STARTS AN OUTLINE BY ITS ORGANISERS MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1920 ii , r COPYRIGHT FOREWORD The League of Nations is commonly spoken of as if it were a closely knit, compact entity, directed by a clearly defined individuality. It is almost never visualised as a co-operative association wherein the nations seek to overcome their mutual differences by means of a complex organization ramifying through many fields of international interest. We speak of " The League " much as we speak of " England " or " Italy," but whereas with individual countries the appellation con- notes aU the separate actions of government, in the case of the League, unfortunately, it brings to mind merely a single, very general, abstract principle. If this error is natural because of the extreme newness of the League, it is none the less dangerous because -of the tendency which it fosters to prevent our analysing the actual structure and method of operation of the League. Just as it is essential to the success of national governments to under- stand exactly what their duties and powers are, so, but to a still greater degree, is it essential to know what are the duties and powers of a League embracing most of the civilised world. The League, indeed, can be analysed in just the same way as any other human association.

As announced in Press Communiqué No. 8516, the Chamber is composed of Judges Lachs, Ruda and Bedjaoui, together with two judges ad hoc chosen respectively by Burkina Faso and Mali, namely Professors François Luchaire and Georges Abi-Saab. A succinct biography of each judge ad hoc is annexed hereto. Since this composition includes neither the President nor the Vice-President of the Court, the Chamber will elect its own president. On 12 April the President of the Court, after consulting the Parties and the Chamber, made an Order fixing 3 October 1985 as the time-limit for the filing of Memorials in the case. This time-limit corresponds to th.e wishes of the Parties as expressed in the Special Agreement by which proceedings were instituted. The Parties also contemplate in th.at Agreement at least one further round of written proceedings before the case becomes ready for hearing.
