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 and adopted by the Meeting of the Parties (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).
