Extract
The Fourth Session of the Economic and Social Council, which met at Lake Success from February 28 to March 29, 1947, considered matters which were mainly substantive in character, most of its organizational work having been completed at the third session. Questions discussed ranged from urgent short-term problems, such as the reconstruction of devastated areas, to those of a long-range nature such as world freedom of information and an international bill of rights.

Although markedly on the increase in 1946, full information was still lacking, particularly from countries of East and Southeast Europe, from Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Nicaragua, with no reports from Peru — one of the largest exporters of crude cocaine in the world — in 1945 or 1946.
