Amendments
- Any Party may propose an amendment to this Convention. The text
of any such amendment and the reasons therefor shall be communicated
by that Party to the Secretary-General, who shall communicate it to
the other Parties and shall ask them whether they accept the proposed
amendment. If a proposed amendment so circulated has not been rejected
by any Party within twenty-four months after it has been circulated,
it shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall enter into force
in respect of a Party ninety days after that Party has deposited with
the Secretary-General an instrument expressing its consent to be bound
by that amendment.
- If a proposed amendment has been rejected by any Party, the Secretary-General
shall consult with the Parties and, if a majority so requests, he
shall bring the matter, together with any comments made by the Parties,
before the Council which may decide to call a conference in accordance
with Article 62, paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations.
Any amendment resulting from such a Conference shall be embodied in
a Protocol of Amendment. Consent to be bound by such a Protocol shall
be required to be expressed specifically to the Secretary-General.
