( International Telecommunication Union)
The International Telecommunication Union is an international organization established to standardize and regulate international radio and telecommunications. It was founded as the International Telegraph Union in Paris on May 17, 1865. Its main tasks include standardization, allocation of the radio spectrum, and organizing interconnection arrangements between different countries to allow international phone calls — in which regard it performs for telecommunications a similar function to what the UPU performs for postal services. It is one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations, and has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, next to the main United Nations campus. The ITU is made up of three sectors A permanent General Secretariat, headed by the Secretary General, manages the day-to-day work of the Union and its sectors. The ITU is headed by a Secretary-General, who is elected to a four-year term by the member states at the plenipotentiary conference.
