IPU Founding Resolution
This resolution adopted at the first inter-parliamentary conference (after a pre-conference in 1888) constitutes the founding act of the inter-parliamentary conferences which later developed into "L'Union interparlementaire pour l'arbitrage international" (from 1899 onwards, since 1905 simply "Inter-Parliamentary Union").
