Mandates:

In accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations and taking into account ITU recommendations:

To promote among Member States harmonization in the utilization of the radio frequency spectrum and the operation of radiocommunication services, including broadcasting, in all their different modalities, bearing especially in mind the need to prevent and avoid, to the extent possible, harmful interference.
  2. To stimulate and foster the development of radiocommunication services, including broadcasting, in the region
  3. To promote the development and implementation of modern technologies and new radiocommunication services, including broadcasting, specifically their technical and operational aspects, to meet the needs of Member States
  4. To undertake the coordination of regional preparations for ITU World and Regional Radiocommunication Conferences, including the preparation of Inter-American Proposals (IAPs) and common positions, as well as to undertake inter-regional consultations in preparation for these conferences
  5. To undertake a coordinated effort with the different CITEL Groups in those areas that, by their very nature, lend themselves to joint action
