It was attended by representatives from 22 nations. Plans for the conference had been drawn up by [[Heinrich von Stephan]], a [[German Empire|German]] postal official.<br /> <br /> On 9 October 1874, the Treaty was signed. Originally called the ''General Postal Union'', the organization established by the Treaty was renamed the [[Universal Postal Union]] in 1878 due to its large membership.<br /> <br /> The purpose of the treaty was to unify disparate postal services and regulations so that international mail could be exchanged freely. The signatories of the treaty were the [[German Empire]], [[Austria-Hungary]], Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Spain, the United States, [[French Third Republic|France]], the United Kingdom, [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]], [[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Italy]], Luxembourg, the Netherlands, [[Kingdom of Portugal|Portugal]], [[United Principalities|Romania]], the [[Russian Empire]], [[Principality of Serbia|Serbia]], the [[United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway]], Switzerland, and the [[Ottoman Empire]].<br /> <br /> World Post Day is now observed on 9 October, recalling the date on which the Treaty was signed.<br /> <br /> The Treaty of Bern was amended a number of times after its conclusion. On 10 July 1964, the UPU incorporated the treaty into a new '''Constitution of the Universal Postal Union''', which is now the treaty that is ratified by states when they wish to join the UPU.<br />
