The list of the cooperation agreements stipulated under the aegis of the Committee can be retrieved from: http://www.oas.org/cip/english/cooperagree.html. Such agreements, moreover, generally establish procedures of inter-institutional cooperation between OAS and other national or international entities, rather than laying down common rules. The aforesaid list, moreover, reveals that the dissolved Port and Harbor Conference had promoted only one international agreement: Organization of American States (1974).

The entire economic agenda adopted at the San José Meeting, which become collectively known as the “Alliance for Progress”, was ultimately abandoned in the Seventies: Henderson et al. (2000), p. 225. The U.S. aim of containing or isolating Cuba was instead fully achieved at the 1962 Punta del Este Meeting, which led to the suspension of Cuba from OAS: Organization of American States (1962). See Angosto-Ferrández (2014), p. 22.
