Argentina was one of 12 countries involved in the International Geophysical Year, which occurred during the late 1950s. Through the cooperative scientific studies that occurred worldwide during the 18 months of the IGY, governments learned to appreciate the value of collaboration and sharing scientific data about the health of the planet.

As well, Argentina was one of the first signatories of the treaty on December 1, 1959.
