Reporting to treaty bodies and full implementation of their recommendations

Children in institutions also frequently face adverse conditions.

The same goes for the CTBT, which has a preparatory structure, pending the entry into force of the Treaty.

Examples include mechanisms and controls established by the nuclear weapon free zone treaties, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) and Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).

Role of treaty bodies in identifying possibilities for technical assistance

In this connection, the Committee emphasized that the harmonization of the working methods of the treaty bodies should not prevent each treaty body from retaining its core competence.

2. Encourages each treaty body to continue to give careful consideration to the relevant conclusions and recommendations contained in the reports of the persons chairing the human rights treaty bodies, and in this context also encourages enhanced cooperation and coordination between the treaty bodies

PROPOSED OVERALL WORK PROGRAMME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CTBT VERIFICATION REGIME

I would also like to take this opportunity to explain our vote on A C.1 60 L.26 Rev.1, entitled Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

Article 17 of the 1992 Declaration and the jurisprudence of international bodies were recalled in that regard.

Much progress had been made in finalizing the institutional framework to implement the provisions of the Treaty on the South East Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (Treaty of Bangkok).

In that regard, both the Treaty and the IAEA Statute relied on the Security Council.

19. A comprehensive reform of the present system regarding the presentation of reports to human rights treaty bodies was required.

The significant challenges facing the treaty body system included late and non reporting by States parties, backlogs in the consideration of reports and or individual communications by some treaty bodies, and the persisting gap between treaty body recommendations and their implementation at the national level.

But today, the Treaty has suffered the first withdrawal of a party to the Treaty and faces a crisis of confidence and compliance born of a growing strain on verification and enforcement.

Its activities in that area have centred primarily on advocacy for the integration of gender perspectives into the work of the treaty and non treaty monitoring bodies.

Mechanisms such as the treaty bodies provide an important first step towards implementing the rights contained in the treaties by working with States parties to identify shortcomings in implementation and proposing remedial courses of action.

(b) Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)

Subsequently the fourth meeting of chairpersons noted the important role of the treaty bodies in seeking to prevent, as well as to respond to, human rights violations.

Aware that owing to the large number of United Nations treaty and non treaty bodies concerned with the promotion and protection of the human rights of children, the role to be played by the Sub Commission in this field should not duplicate the action and terms of reference of those bodies,

We also welcome the Secretary General's reaffirmation of the importance of the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the specific reference to the crisis of confidence and compliance facing the Treaty.

The Netherlands has worked towards entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in two ways by actively supporting the work of the Preparatory Commission for the Treaty Organization in Vienna in implementing the Treaty's verification mechanism, and by promoting signature and ratification of the Treaty.

12. Encourages the efforts of the treaty bodies to examine the progress made in achieving the fulfilment of human rights treaty undertakings by all States parties, without exception

Article 2 Institutions and operators

Elements related to institutions and mechanisms Preamble and Articles 1, and 14 to 26.

28. The vital importance of the role that might potentially be played by these agencies in promoting the achievement of universal ratification has been recognized by the chairpersons of the treaty bodies.

IV. TREATY BODIES

As a State party to NPT, the Chemical Weapons Convention and CTBT, Tajikistan closely cooperates with international institutions and organizations such as IAEA, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization.

Accordingly, it had placed at the disposal of IAEA and CTBTO two seismographic stations in the context of the international system for monitoring the implementation of the Treaty it called on countries which had not yet done so to sign or ratify the Treaty.

To achieve these objectives, certain institutional and resource prerequisites must be met

The right to protection of health and to safety in working conditions, including the safeguarding of the function of reproduction.

The treaty bodies should be given a direct input into future decision making in this regard.

Eat noodles.

Norway has worked towards this goal by actively promoting signature and ratification of the Treaty and by supporting the work of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization in Vienna in implementing the Treaty's verification mechanism.

Notwithstanding what it would offer if selected as housing institution, UNDP would nevertheless support the GM as follows

It is frustrating for a treaty body to have to remain inactive in the face of massive violations and it risks sending a signal of impotence, perhaps disdain and certainly marginality.

First, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the CTBT.

Natural resource crisis conditions prevail, particularly with respect to water, land and energy.

(f) The right to protection of health and safety in working conditions, including safeguarding of the function of reproduction.

It is hoped that the global plan of action for the treaty bodies (see para. 8 above) will lead to improvement in the support provided to all treaty bodies in respect of research, analysis, communications and implementation at the national level.

Support for treaty bodies

I now turn to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
