In Article
II of the Agreement on the Conservation of
African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds, Parties agree, as
a fundamental principle, to take co-ordinated measures to
maintain migratory waterbird species in a favourable conservation
status or to restore them to such a status.
To this end, the Parties agree to apply
within the limits of their national jurisdiction a number
of general conservation measures prescribed in Article
III of the Agreement, as well as a number of
more specific actions determined in the Action Plan appended
to the Agreement. In
paragraph 7.3 of the Action Plan, the
Agreement Secretariat is required to co-ordinate the development
of a series of Conservation Guidelines to assist the Parties
in the implementation of their obligations under the Agreement.
These Conservation Guidelines, which should be prepared
in co-ordination with the Technical Committee and with the
assistance of experts from Range States, were submitted
to the First and Second Meetings of the Parties, which recommended
publication after minor amendment, and further recommended
regular review (Article
IV, paragraph 4 of the Agreement).
The Technical Committee keeps the guidelines
under review, and formulates draft recommendations and resolutions
relating to their development, content and implementation
for consideration at sessions of the Meeting of the Parties
(paragraph
7.6 of the Action Plan).
