World Administrative Radio Conference
Encyclopedia
The World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC) was a technical conference of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) where delegates from member nations of the ITU met to revise or amend the entire international Radio Regulations

In 1992 at a Additional Plenipotentiary Conference in Geneva the ITU was restructured and as a result from 1993 the conference became known as the World Radiocommunication Conference
