The first one, AG/RES. 2056 (XXXIV-O/04) instructed the Permanent Council and the Permanent Executive Committee of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CEPCIDI) to jointly prepare a draft Social Charter of the Americas and a Plan of Action, this madate was reiterate in resolution AG/RES 2139 (XXXV-O/05).

The mandate was reinforced at the IV Summit of the Americas held in Mar del Plata in November of 2005, where the chiefs of State and Government encouraged the drafting of the Social Charter of the Americas and its Plan of Action.

Finally, the General Assembly adopted resolution AG/RES.2241 (XXXVI-O/06), which instructs the Working Group to develop a methodology enabling it to expedite its consideration of the Draft Social Charter of the Americas and its Plan of Action.
