The governing power of the ITU and its components requires further identification. This is needed particularly insofar as nation-states assert priority of rights to use radio frequencies with the corollary that rightful uses of the radio spectrum not be subjected to harmful interference. Such an assessment requires a more detailed examination of the role and function of the IFRB, and this in turn necessitates a further examination of the legal principles and rules developed by the ITU's Administrative Radio Conferences and their formal regulations.

This entered into force for the United States on October 23, 1961. 15 UST 887, TIAS 5603. This entered into force for the United States on January 1, 1965.
