The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, known as ECLAC, was established in 1948 as the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (UNECLA). The Caribbean countries were later included to the Commission with a resolution adopted in 1984. ECLAC comprises 46 member States with 20 countries from Latin America, 13 from the Caribbean and 13 outside the region, and 14 associate members who are various non-independent territories, associated island countries, and a commonwealth in the Caribbean.
The Commission was founded with the purpose of contributing to the economic development of Latin America, coordinating actions directed towards this end, promoting the social development of the region, and reinforcing economic ties among countries and with other nations across the world.
