A historical review of the achievements of the CIPM (Comite International des Poids et Mesures) during the period of 1989 to 2001, when the author was in the Committee, is presented. After introducing the framework and the structure of the Metre Convention, recent changes of the activity and the role of the CIPM and its Consultative Committees are explained together with their backgroud. The movement towards the establishment of the global traceability of measurement standards, especially the agreement for Mutual Recognition Arrangement of Metrological Standards and of Calibration and Measurement Certificates, is looked back in detail, referring to the cooperation of the CIPM with other International Organizations including the regional metrology organizations. The past and present management (the structure, budget, personel etc.) of the BIPM (Bureau International des poids et Mesures) is presented. In the end, the role of Japan in the activity of the Metre Convention for the development of the metrological standards and its global traceability in future is suggested.
