6.1 Provisional Agenda and documents & 21.1.25 Review of Decisions CMS COP12 Regional Preparatory Workshop for Asia Melanie Virtue UNEP/CMS Secretariat 15-17 August 2017 Bonn, Germany

Provisional COP Agenda and documents

Resolution 11.6: Review of Decisions Resolution 11.6 established a number of new ways of handling COP documentation: Repeal of Resolutions and Recommendations Decisions – in addition to Resolutions Updating Existing Resolutions at subsequent COPs Brings CMS in line with CITES document protocols

1. Repeal of Resolutions: Objective: Housekeeping exercise to tidy up all existing Resolutions

1. Repeal of Resolutions: Repeal in full resolutions that are out of date (Annex 2 of Doc.21) Partially repeal resolutions that contain some out of date provisions (time-bound instructions) (Doc.21.1) Consolidate multiple resolutions on the same subject into a single new resolution (repealing redundant provisions) (Doc.21.2) So that all provisions on the same subject are in the same place. Eg Bycatch: Res 6.2, Rec 7.2, Res 8.14, Res 9.18, Res 10.14 all consolidated into a single resolution, removing redundancies, completed actions, and out of date provisions.

Repeal of Resolutions: At present: 178 Resolutions in force, this exercise will significantly reduce this number. Result: manageable list of Resolutions, all of them relevant to Parties This will simplify implementation of the Convention for Parties, the Secretariat, ScC and StC.

Mandate and process followed Res 11.6: To review existing resolutions (and recommendations) and propose which ones (or parts thereof) should be repealed. Report to StC 45 (2016) StC45 requested Secretariat to go ahead as proposed and produce drafts for adoption at COP12. Full history and process contained in Doc.21. Modified drafts contained in Docs 21.1.x and 21.2.x

2. Decisions – an additional tool Res 11.6 also created a new instrument; Decisions, as an additional tool to Resolutions. Resolution – long standing guidance eg: Urges Parties to enhance transboundary cooperation for the conservation of migratory species. Decision – time-bound instructions or recommendations eg: Requests Parties to provide the Secretariat with copies of their national legislation on the management of Migratory species, by COP13. eg: Instructs the Secretariat to report to StC 48.

3. Updating Existing Resolutions at subsequent COPs Res 11.6 further recommended that from now on Parties and Secretariat modify existing Resolutions with new provisions rather than creating a new Resolution on the same subject, as had been done in the past. Eg. Res 11.29 Sustainable Boat-Based Marine Wildlife Watching Proposed to be updated as: Res 11.29 (Rev.COP12) to include a provision to adopt draft Guidelines on BBWW.

Why do some topics appear twice in the COP agenda? Topics appearing in both Agenda item 21 and 24 (or 23, 25) Bycatch Ocean Noise Marine Debris Flyways Illegal Killing of Birds Conservation of Land birds Taxonomy Climate Change Ecological Networks Animal Culture Scientific Council Guidelines/template for Listing Proposals (25) Synergies and Partnerships (23)

Why do some topics appear twice in the COP agenda? COP 12 Agenda item 21 (Review of Decisions): No substantive changes, just the housekeeping exercise to remove obsolete provisions COP 12 Agenda items 23, 24 or 25: Starts with clean copy of 21.x, the partly repealed or consolidated resolution, and adds new topics, adopts guidelines, or updates existing provisions. Parties should focus their attention on these modifications, shown in underlined or strikethrough text. Parties should not seek to reopen previously negotiated text.
