The '''World Administrative Radio Conference''' (WARC) was a 1979 technical conference of the [[International Telecommunication Union]] (ITU) where delegates from member nations of the ITU met to revise or amend the entire international [[Radio Regulations|radio regulations]] pertaining to all telecommunication services throughout the world. The conference was held in [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]], with preparatory conferences held in [[Panama City, Panama]].

One outcome of the 1979 meeting was the allocation of [[WARC bands|three new amateur radio bands]].

In 1992, at an ''Additional Plenipotentiary Conference'' in Geneva, the ITU was restructured and as a result from 1993 the conference became known as the [[World Radiocommunication Conference]] or WRC.<ref>[http://www.itu.int/aboutitu/overview/history.html ITU.int]</ref>
