RESOLUTION
No.
45/63
Establishment
of the
Desert Locust Control
Organization for Eastern Africa within the framework of FAO
THE CONFERENCE
Considering
the wish expressed by the Member Nations of the
Desert Locust Control Organization for Eastern Africa (DLCO for EA)
that the Organization be brought within the framework of FAO by the conclusion of an agreement under Article XV of the FAO Constitution in order to secure fuller cooperation of the Member Nations of that Organization and the participation of nations in the region that are not yet members of the Organization,
Considering
the desirability of facilitating the satisfactory functioning of the DLCO for EA in order to ensure effective desert locust control in the region,
Decides
that a broader interpretation is to be given to the term "institutions" as used in Article XV of the FAO Constitution, in that the term was intended to include the establishment of organizations, associations, institutes of public utility, and that it would consequently be appropriate to bring the
DLCO for EA
within the framework of FAO by an agreement concluded under that Article of the FAO Constitution;
Agrees
in principle to the establishment of the DLCO for EA within the framework of FAO by an agreement concluded under Article XV of the FAO Constitution; and
Authorizes
the
Director-General
to negotiate through the Council of the DLCO for EA, with Member Nations of that Organization and other interested nations, in consultation with the
Finance Committee
and the
Committee on Constitutional and Legal Matters
, an agreement under Article XV of the FAO Constitution for the purpose of establishing the DLCO for EA within the framework of FAO with the closest possible links with FAO bearing in mind the principles governing agreements concluded under that Article; and
Acting
in accordance with the provisions of Article XV.3 of the FAO Constitution:
Delegates
powers to the FAO Council to approve such an agreement once the Member Nations of the DLCO for EA have indicated their concurrence with the terms thereof; and
Authorizes
the
Director-General
to sign such an agreement after the approval by the
FAO Council
.
