Ibero-American Summit
The Latin Union[a] was an international organization of nations that use Romance languages,[2] whose activities have been suspended and transferred many of its activities to the Ibero-American Summit since 2012. Headquartered in Paris, France, it aims to protect, project, and promote the common cultural heritage of Romance peoples and unifying identities of the Romance, and Romance-influenced, world. It was created in 1954 in Madrid, Spain. It started to operate in 1983 and its membership rose from 12 to 36 states, including countries in North America, South America, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.[3]
Due to financial difficulties, the Latin Union announced on 26 January 2012 the suspension of its activities, the dissolution of its Secretariat General (effective 31 July 2012), and the termination of employment for all the organization's personnel.[4]
