The International Bahá’í Council was a multi-national body formed by Shoghi Effendi on January 9, 1951. Its first six members were appointed by Shoghi Effendi in 1951, and three additional members were added in later years. Beginning at Ridván 1961, the Council became an elected body. It served as a precursor to the Universal House of Justice.
