FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION ON SALVAGE, 1989 THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON SALVAGE, 1989, In adopting the International Convention on Salvage,
1989 (hereinafter referred to as "The Convention"),
Considering
it desirable that as many States as possible should become Parties to the
Convention,
Recognizing that the entry into force of the Convention
will represent an important additional factor for the protection of the marine
environment,
Considering that the international publicizing and
wide implementation of the Convention is of the utmost importance for the attainment
of its objectives,
I Recommends:
| (a) | that the Organization promote public
awareness of the Convention through the holding of seminars, courses and symposia; |
| (b) | that training institutions created
under the auspices of the Organization include the study of the Convention in
their corresponding courses of study. | II Requests:
| (a) | Member States to transmit to the Organization the text of the
laws, orders, decrees, regulations and other instruments that they promulgate
concerning the various matters falling within the scope of application of the
Convention; | | (b) | Member States,
in consultation with the Organization, to promote the giving of help to those
States requesting technical assistance for the drafting of laws, orders, decrees,
regulations and other instruments necessary for the implementation of the Convention;
and | | (c) | the Organization
to notify Member States of any communication it may receive under paragraph II(a) |
Having been informed that State Parties to the Convention
had not supplied to IMO information as to the manner in which they had implemented
the Convention, the CMI suggested to IMO to draw up and circulate a Questionnaire
with the view to collecting information in that respect.
A Synopsis of the
responses received as at June 2004 is published in the CMI Yearbook 2004-Vancouver
II. Since, however, new responses were received thereafter, an updated Synopsis,
including the responses received so far, is published hereafter.
The Synopsis
is preceded by a list of the States Parties.
The complete text of the responses,
arranged under each question, is also published. |
