Intellectual Co-operation Organisation
- [The Intellectual Co-operation Organisation (Organisation de coopération intellectuelle, or OCI) was officially established September 24, 1931, by the League of Nations. The Organisation was comprised of three main, already existing components: the International Committee on Intellectual Co-operation (Commission internationale de coopération intellectuelle, or CICI), the International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation (Institut international de coopération intellectuelle, or IICI), and the International Educational Cinematographic Institute (Institut international du cinématographe éducatif, or IICE). The IICE was disbanded in Decmeber 1937, when Italy left the League of Nations. With the onset of the Second World War, the CICI met for the final time in 1939, soon followed by the closure of the IICI in 1940. The IICI reopened in February 1945 and permanently closed at the end of 1946, after transferring its archives, property, and functions to the newly formed United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Although no longer active, the CICI was officially dissolved with the creation of UNESCO. With the CICI and the IICI dissolved, the final vestiges of the OCI ceased to exist, but its mission would be continued by UNESCO.]
