Konvencija se v izvirniku v angleškem jeziku in v prevodu v slovenskem jeziku glasi: THE CONTRACTING PARTIES, RECOGNIZING that wild animals in their innumerable forms are an irreplaceable part of the earth’s natural system which must be conserved for the good of mankind; AWARE that each generation of man holds the resources of the earth for future generations and has an obligation to ensure that this legacy is conserved and, where utilized, is used wisely; CONSCIOUS of the ever-growing value of wild animals from environmental, ecological, genetic, scientific, aesthetic, recreational, cultural, educational, social and economic points of view; CONCERNED particularly with those species of wild animals that migrate across or outside national jurisdictional boundaries; RECOGNIZING that the States are and must be the protectors of the migratory species of wild animals that live within or pass through their national jurisdictional boundaries; CONVINCED that conservation and effective management of migratory species of wild animals require the concerted action of all States within the national jurisdictional boundaries of which such species spend any part of their life cycle; RECALLING Recommendation 32 of the Action Plan adopted by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972) and noted with satisfaction at the Twenty-seventh Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, HAVE AGREED as follows: 1. For the purpose of this Convention: a) “Migratory species“ means the entire population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, a significant proportion of whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries; b) “Conservation status of a migratory species“ means the sum of the influences acting on the migratory species that may affect its long-term distribution and abundance; c) “Conservation status“ will be taken as “favourable“ when:

(1)population dynamics data indicate that the migratory species is maintaining itself on a long-term basis as a viable component of its ecosystems;

(2)the range of the migratory species is neither currently being reduced, nor is likely to be reduced, on a long-term basis;

(3)there is, and will be in the foreseeable future sufficient habitat to maintain the population of the migratory species on a long-term basis; and

(4)the distribution and abundance of the migratory species approach historic coverage and levels to the extent that potentially suitable ecosystems exist and to the extent consistent with wise wildlife management; d) “Conservation status“ will be taken as “unfavourable“ if any of the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (c) of this paragraph is not met; e) “Endangered“ in relation to a particular migratory species means that the migratory species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range; f) “Range“ means all the areas of land or water that a migratory species inhabits, stays in temporarily, crosses or overflies at any time on its normal migration route; g) “Habitat“ means any area in the range of a migratory species which contains suitable living conditions for that species; h) “Range State“ in relation to a particular migratory species means any State (and where appropriate any other Party referred to under subparagraph (k) of this paragraph) that exercises jurisdiction over any part of the range of that migratory species, or a State, flag vessels of which are engaged outside national jurisdictional limits in taking that migratory species; i) “Taking“ means taking, hunting, fishing capturing, harassing, deliberate killing, or attempting to engage in any such conduct; j) “AGREEMENT“ means an international agreement relating to the conservation of one or more migratory species as provided for in Articles IV and V of this Convention; and k) “Party“ means a State or any regional economic integration organization constituted by sovereign States which has competence in respect of the negotiation, conclusion and application of international agreements in matters covered by this Convention for which this Convention is in force. 2. In matters within their competence, the regional economic integration organizations which are Parties to this Convention shall in their own name exercise the rights and fulfil the responsibilities which this Convention attributes to their member States. In such cases the member States of these organizations shall not be entitled to exercise such rights individually. 3. Where this Convention provides for a decision to be taken by either a two-thirds majority or a unanimous decision of “the Parties present and voting“ this shall mean “the Parties present and casting an affirmative or negative vote“. Those abstaining from voting shall not be counted amongst “the Parties present and voting“ in determining the majority. 1. The Parties acknowledge the importance of migratory species being conserved and of Range States agreeing to take action to this end whenever possible and appropriate, paying special attention to migratory species the conservation status of which is unfavourable, and taking individually or in co-operation appropriate and necessary steps to conserve such species and their habitat. 2. The Parties acknowledge the need to take action to avoid any migratory species becoming endangered. 3. In particular, the Parties: a) should promote, co-operate in and support research relating to migratory species; b) shall endeavour to provide immediate protection for migratory species included in Appendix I; and c) shall endeavour to conclude AGREEMENTS covering the conservation and management of migratory species included in Appendix II. 1. Appendix I shall list migratory species which are endangered. 2. A migratory species may be listed in Appendix I provided that reliable evidence, including the best scientific evidence available, indicates that the species is endangered. 3. A migratory species may be removed from Appendix I when the Conference of the Parties determines that: a) reliable evidence, including the best scientific evidence available, indicates that the species is no longer endangered, and b) the species is not likely to become endangered again because of loss of protection due to its removal from Appendix I. 4. Parties that are Range States of a migratory species listed in Appendix I shall endeavour: a) to conserve and, where feasible and appropriate, restore those habitats of the species which are of importance in removing the species from danger of extinction; b) to prevent, remove, compensate for or minimize, as appropriate, the adverse effects of activities or obstacles that seriously impede or prevent the migration of the species; and c) to the extent feasible and appropriate, to prevent, reduce or control factors that are endangering or are likely to further endanger the species, including strictly controlling the introduction of, or controlling or eliminating, already introduced exotic species. 5. Parties that are Range States of a migratory species listed in Appendix I shall prohibit the taking of animals belonging to such species. Exceptions may be made to this prohibition only if: a) the taking is for scientific purposes; b) the taking is for the purpose of enhancing the propagation or survival of the affected species; c) the taking is to accommodate the needs of traditional subsistence users of such species; or d) extraordinary circumstances so require; provided that such exceptions are precise as to content and limited in space and time. Such taking should not operate to the disadvantage of the species. 6. The Conferences of the Parties may recommend to the Parties that are Range States of a migratory species listed in Appendix I that they take further measures considered appropriate to benefit the species. 7. The Parties shall as soon as possible inform the Secretariat of any exceptions made pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Article. 1. Appendix II shall list migratory species which have an unfavourable conservation status and which require international agreements for their conservation and management, as well as those which have a conservation status which would significantly benefit from the international cooperation that could be achieved by an international agreement. 2. If the circumstances so warrant, a migratory species may be listed both in Appendix I and Appendix II. 3. Parties that are Range States of migratory species listed in Appendix II shall endeavour to conclude AGREEMENTS where these should benefit the species and should give priority to those species in an unfavourable conservation status. 4. Parties are encouraged to take action with a view to concluding agreements for any population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, members of which periodically cross one or more national jurisdiction boundaries. 5. The Secretariat shall be provided with a copy of each AGREEMENT concluded pursuant to the provisions of this Article. 1. The object of each AGREEMENT shall be to restore the migratory species concerned to a favourable conservation status or to maintain it in such a status. Each AGREEMENT should deal with those aspects of the conservation and management of the migratory species concerned which serve to achieve that object. 2. Each AGREEMENT should cover the whole of the range of the migratory species concerned and should be open to accession by all Range States of that species, whether or not they are Parties to this Convention. 3. An AGREEMENT should, wherever possible, deal with more than one migratory species. 4. Each AGREEMENT should: a) identify the migratory species covered; b) describe the range and migration route of the migratory species; c) provide for each Party to designate its national authority concerned with the implementation of the AGREEMENT; d) establish, if necessary, appropriate machinery to assist in carrying out the aims of the AGREEMENT, to monitor its effectiveness, and to prepare reports for the Conference of the Parties; e) provide for procedures for the settlement of disputes between Parties to the AGREEMENT; and f) at a minimum, prohibit, in relation to a migratory species of the Order Cetacea, any taking that is not permitted for that migratory species under any other multilateral agreement and provide for accession to the AGREEMENT by States that are not Range States of that migratory species. 5. Where appropriate and feasible, each AGREEMENT should provide for but not be limited to: a) periodic review of the conservation status of the migratory species concerned and the identification of the factors which may be harmful to that status; b) co-ordinated conservation and management plans; c) research into the ecology and population dynamics of the migratory species concerned, with special regard to migration; d) the exchange of information on the migratory species concerned, special regard being paid to the exchange of the results of research and of relevant statistics; e) conservation and, where required and feasible, restoration of the habitats of importance in maintaining a favourable conservation status, and protection of such habitats from disturbances, including strict control of the introduction of, or control of already introduced, exotic species detrimental to the migratory species; f) maintenance of a network of suitable habitats appropriately disposed in relation to the migration routes; g) where it appears desirable, the provision of new habitats favourable to the migratory species or reintroduction of the migratory species into favourable habitats; h) elimination of, to the maximum extent possible, or compensation for activities and obstacles which hinder or impede migration; i) prevention, reduction or control of the release into the habitat of the migratory species of substances harmful to that migratory species; j) measures based on sound ecological principles to control and manage the taking of the migratory species; k) procedures for co-ordinating action to suppress illegal taking; l) exchange of information on substantial threats to the migratory species; m) emergency procedures whereby conservation action would be considerably and rapidly strengthened when the conservation status of the migratory species is seriously affected; and n) making the general public aware of the contents and aims of the AGREEMENT. 1. A list of the Range States of migratory species listed in Appendices I and II shall be kept up to date by the Secretariat using information it has received from the Parties. 2. The Parties shall keep the Secretariat informed in regard to which of the migratory species listed in Appendices I and II they consider themselves to be Range States, including provision of information on their flag vessels engaged outside national jurisdictional limits in taking the migratory species concerned and, where possible, future plans in respect of such taking. 3.

1. Za namene te konvencije: a) “selitvena vrsta“ pomeni celotno populacijo ali kateri koli zemljepisno ločeni del populacije neke vrste ali nižje sistematske skupine prosto živečih živali, katerih znaten del ciklično in napovedljivo prehaja čez eno ali več meja državne jurisdikcije; b) “varstveno stanje selitvene vrste“ pomeni seštevek vseh vplivov, ki delujejo na selitveno vrsto in lahko vplivajo na njeno dolgoročno razširjenost in številčnost v prihodnosti; c) “varstveno stanje vrste“ bo upoštevano kot “ugodno“, kadar:

(1)podatki o dinamiki populacije kažejo, da se selitvena vrsta, dolgoročno gledano, vzdržuje kot preživetja sposoben sestavni del svojega ekosistema;

(2)se območje razširjenosti selitvene vrste trenutno ne zmanjšuje, niti ni verjetno, da se bo dolgoročno zmanjšalo;

(3)je in bo tudi v predvidljivi prihodnosti dovolj ustreznega življenskega prostora za dolgoročno ohranitev populacije selitvene vrste;

(4)se razširjenost in številčnost selitvene vrste približata zgodovinskemu obsegu in ravnem v taki meri, da obstojijo zanjo primerni ekosistemi in da je to združljivo s smotrnim upravljanjem prosto živečih živali; d) “varstveno stanje vrste“ bo upoštevano kot “neugodno“, če kateri koli pogoj iz točke c tega odstavka ne bo izpolnjen; e) “prizadetost“ določene selitvene vrste pomeni, da tej vrsti preti nevarnost izumrtja na vsem območju razširjenosti ali na njegovem znatnem delu; f) “območje razširjenosti“ pomeni vsa območja kopnega ali vode, kjer se selitvene vrste naseljujejo, začasno zadržujejo, jih prečkajo ali preletijo kadar koli na svoji običajni selitveni poti; g) “življenjski prostor“ pomeni vsako površino na območju razširjenosti selitvene vrste, kjer so življenjske razmere primerne za to selitveno vrsto; h) “država na območju razširjenosti“ pomeni v povezavi z neko selitveno vrsto vsako državo (ali kadar je to primerno vsako drugo pogodbenico, omenjeno v točki (k) tega odstavka), ki izvaja jurisdikcijo nad katerim koli delom območja razširjenosti te selitvene vrste, ali državo, katere plovila, ki plovejo pod njeno zastavo, lovijo to selitveno vrsto zunaj meja njene državne jurisdikcije; i) “odvzem“ pomeni prilaščanje, lov, ribolov, zadrževanje v ujetništvu, vznemirjanje, namerno ubijanje ali kakršen koli poskus izvajanja takih dejanj; j) “SPORAZUM“ pomeni mednarodni sporazum, ki se nanaša na varstvo ene ali več selitvenih vrst, kot je predvideno v 4. in 5. členu te konvencije, in k) “pogodbenica“ pomeni državo ali katero koli regionalno organizacijo za gospodarsko povezovanje, ki so jo ustanovile suverene države in je pristojna za pogajanja, sklepanje in zvajanje mednarodnih sporazumov o zadevah, ki jih obravnava ta konvencija in za katero konvencija velja. 2. Regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje, ki so pogodbenice te konvencije, o zadevah, ki so v njihovi pristojnosti, v svojem imenu uresničujejo pravice in izpolnjujejo obveznosti, ki jih ta konvencija pripisuje njihovim državam članicam. V takih primerih države članice teh organizacij ne smejo posamezno uresničevati teh pravic. 3. Kadar ta konvencija predvideva sprejemanje odločitev z dvotretjinsko večino ali s soglasno odločitvijo “pogodbenic, ki so prisotne in glasujejo“, to pomeni “pogodbenice, ki so prisotne in glasujejo za ali proti“. Tiste, ki se glasovanja vzdržijo, se pri določanju večine ne štejejo med “pogodbenice, ki so prisotne in glasujejo“.

1. Pogodbenice priznavajo pomembnost varovanja selitvenih vrst in soglašajo, da države na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst ukrepajo v tej smeri, kadar koli je to mogoče in primerno. Pri tem morajo posebno pozornost posvetiti tistim selitvenim vrstam, katerih varstveno stanje je neugodno, in posamezno ali z medsebojnim sodelovanjem sprejeti ustrezne in potrebne ukrepe za varstvo teh vrst in njihovega življenjskega prostora. 2. Pogodbenice priznavajo potrebo po ukrepanju, da bi se izognile prizadetosti katere koli selitvene vrste. 3. Pogodbenice: a) naj bi še posebej spodbujale in podpirale raziskave v zvezi s selitvenimi vrstami in pri njih sodelovale; b) si še posebej prizadevajo za takojšnje zavarovanje selitvenih vrst vključenih v Dodatek I, in c) si še posebej prizadevajo za sklepanje SPORAZUMOV o varstvu selitvenih vrst in upravljanju selitvenih vrst, ki so vključene v Dodatek II.

1. V Dodatku I so navedene prizadete selitvene vrste. 2. Selitvena vrsta je lahko uvrščena v Dodatek I, če obstajajo zanesljivi dokazi o njeni prizadetosti, vključno z najboljšimi znanstvenimi dokazi, ki so na voljo. 3. Selitvena vrsta je lahko izločena iz Dodatka I, če Konferenca pogodbenic odloči, da: a) je zanesljivo dokazano, vključno z najboljšimi znanstvenimi dokazi, ki so na voljo, da vrsta ni več prizadeta; b) ni verjetnosti, da ta vrsta ponovno postane prizadeta zaradi prenehanja varovanja, ki je posledica njene izločitve iz Dodatka I. 4. Pogodbenice, države na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, vključenih v Dodatek I, si prizadevajo: a) ohraniti in kadar je izvedljivo in primerno, obnoviti tiste življenjske prostore vrst, ki so pomembni za preprečitev nevarnosti njihovega izumrtja; b) ustrezno preprečiti, odpraviti, nadomestiti ali zmanjšati škodljive učinke dejavnosti ali ovire, ki resno motijo ali preprečujejo selitev vrst in c) če je to izvedljivo in primerno, preprečiti, zmanjšati ali nadzorovati dejavnike, ki ogrožajo ali bodo lahko ogrozili vrsto, vključno s strogim nadzorom uvajanja tujerodnih vrst in nadzorom ali odstranjevanjem že naseljenih tujerodnih vrst, če je to izvedljivo in primerno. 5. Pogodbenice, države na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatku I, prepovejo odvzem živali teh vrst. Izjemoma je dovoljen odvzem: a) v znanstvene namene, b) z namenom povečati razširjenost ali možnost preživetja prizadete vrste, c) zaradi zadovoljevanja tradicionalnih življenjskih potreb porabnikov takih vrst ali d) kadar to zahtevajo izjemne okoliščine, pod pogojem, da se te izjeme natančno vsebinsko opredelijo ter krajevno in časovno omejijo. Tak odvzem ne sme škodovati vrsti. 6. Konferenca pogodbenic lahko priporoči pogodbenicam, državam na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatku I, da sprejmejo ustrezne dodatne ukrepe v korist vrst. 7. Pogodbenice takoj, ko je mogoče, obvestijo Sekretariat o vsaki izjemi, ki je v skladu s petim odstavkom tega člena.

1. V Dodatku II je naveden seznam selitvenih vrst, katerih varstveno stanje je neugodno in za katerih varstvo in upravljanje so potrebni mednarodni sporazumi, kot tudi tistih vrst, ki bi se jim varstveno stanje zaradi mednarodnega sodelovanja na podlagi mednarodnega sporazuma lahko bistveno izboljšalo. 2. Vrsta je lahko navedena tako v Dodatku I kot v Dodatku II, če okoliščine to upravičujejo. 3. Pogodbenice na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatku II, si prizadevajo sklepati SPORAZUME, kadar bi ti koristili vrstam, in naj bi dajale prednost vrstam, katerih varstveno stanje je neugodno. 4. Pogodbenice si prizadevajo sklepati sporazume za vsako populacijo ali zemljepisno ločeni del populacije katere koli vrste ali nižje sistematske skupine prosto živečih živali, katerih predstavniki občasno prehajajo čez eno ali več meja državne jurisdikcije. 5. Sekretariat mora dobiti po en izvod vsakega SPORAZUMA, ki je sklenjen v skladu z določbami tega člena.

1. Cilj vsakega SPORAZUMA mora biti obnovitev ali ohranitev ugodnega varstvenega stanja selitvene vrste. Vsak SPORAZUM naj obravnava tiste vidike varstva selitvenih vrst in njihovega upravljanja, ki bodo pripomogli k temu cilju. 2. Vsak SPORAZUM naj zajema celotno območje razširjenosti določene selitvene vrste in naj bi bil na voljo za pristop vsem državam na območju razširjenosti te vrste, ne glede na to, ali so pogodbenice te konvencije ali ne. 3. SPORAZUM naj, kjer koli je mogoče, obravnava več kot eno selitveno vrsto. 4. Vsak SPORAZUM naj: a) točno določi selitvene vrste, ki jih obravnava; b) opiše območje razširjenosti in selitveno pot vrste; c) za vsako pogodbenico določi državni organ, pristojen za izvajanje SPORAZUMA; d) če je potrebno, uvede ustrezen mehanizem za pomoč pri uresničevanju ciljev SPORAZUMA, za nadzor njegove učinkovitosti in za pripravo poročila za Konferenco pogodbenic; e) predvidi postopke za reševanje sporov med pogodbenicami SPORAZUMA in f) vsaj prepove vsak odvzem osebkov iz reda kitov (Cetacea), kot ga prepovedujejo tudi drugi večstranski SPORAZUMI, ter predvidi pristop k SPORAZUMU državam, ki niso države na območju razširjenosti teh selitvenih vrst. 5. Vsak SPORAZUM naj, če je primerno in izvedljivo, zagotovi najmanj: a) redni pregled varstvenega stanja obravnavane selitvene vrste in ugotovi, kateri dejavniki lahko škodijo temu stanju; b) usklajene načrte varstva in upravljanja; c) raziskovanje ekologije in populacijske dinamike obravnavanih selitvenih vrst s posebnim poudarkom na selitvi; d) izmenjavo informacij o obravnavani selitveni vrsti s posebnim poudarkom na izmenjavi rezultatov raziskav in s tem povezano statistiko; e) ohranjanje in kjer je potrebno in izvedljivo, obnovo življenjskih prostorov, ki so pomembni za ohranjanje ugodnega varstvenega stanja vrste in zavarovanje takih življenjskih prostorov pred motečimi posegi, vključno s strogim nadzorom naseljevanja tujerodnih vrst ali že naseljenih tujerodnih vrst, ki škodujejo selitvenim vrstam; f) ohranjanje mreže ustreznih življenjskih prostorov, ki so primerno razporejeni glede na selitvene poti; g) če je to zaželeno, zagotavljanje novih življenjskih prostorov, primernih za selitvene vrste ali ponovno naseljevanje selitvenih vrst v primerne življenjske prostore; h) če je le mogoče, odstranitev dejavnosti in ovir, ki preprečujejo ali motijo selitev ali nadomestitev zanje; i) preprečevanje, zmanjšanje ali nadzor izpusta snovi, škodljivih za selitveno vrsto, v njen življenjski prostor; j) ukrepe, ki temeljijo na ekoloških načelih, za nadzor in upravljanje odvzemov osebkov selitvenih vrst; k) postopke za usklajeno delovanje za preprečevanje nezakonitih odvzemov; l) izmenjavo informacij o bistvenih nevarnostih za selitvene vrste; m) nujne postopke za znatno in hitro krepitev varstvenega ukrepanja, če je varstveno stanje selitvene vrste resno prizadeto in n) seznanjanje javnosti o vsebini in ciljih SPORAZUMA.

1. Sekretariat dopolnjuje seznam držav na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatkih I in II s podatki, ki jih prejme od pogodbenic. 2. Pogodbenice, ki se štejejo za države na območju razširjenosti katere od selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatkih I in II, o tem obveščajo Sekretariat, vključno s podatki o plovilih pod njihovo zastavo, ki zunaj meja državne jurisdikcije lovijo določene selitvene vrste, in kjer je to mogoče, o prihodnjih načrtih za tak lov. 3. Pogodbenice, države na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, navedenih v Dodatkih I ali II, preko Sekretariata obvestijo Konferenco pogodbenic vsaj šest mesecev pred vsakim rednim zasedanjem Konference pogodbenic o ukrepih, ki jih izvajajo za uresničevanje določb te konvencije za te vrste.

1. Konferenca pogodbenic je organ odločanja te konvencije. 2. Sekretariat skliče zasedanje Konference pogodbenic najkasneje dve leti po začetku veljavnosti te konvencije. 3. Po tem Sekretariat sklicuje redna zasedanja Konference pogodbenic v presledkih največ treh let, razen če Konferenca ne odloči drugače, in izredna zasedanja kadar koli na pisno zahtevo najmanj ene tretjine pogodbenic. 4. Konferenca pogodbenic določi in nadzira finančne predpise te konvencije. Konferenca pogodbenic na vsakem svojem rednem zasedanju sprejme proračun za naslednje finančno obdobje. Vsaka pogodbenica k temu proračunu prispeva v skladu z lestvico, za katero se dogovori Konferenca. Finančne predpise, vključno z določbami o proračunu in lestvico prispevkov kot tudi njihove spremembe, sprejmejo pogodbenice, ki so prisotne in glasujejo, soglasno. 5. Na vsakem svojem zasedanju Konferenca pogodbenic pregleda izvajanje konvencije, posebej pa: a) pregleda in oceni varstveno stanje selitvenih vrst; b) oceni napredek, ki je bil dosežen pri varstvu selitvenih vrst, zlasti navedenih v Dodatkih I in II; c) sprejme potrebne določbe in smernice, ki bodo omogočale Znanstvenemu svetu in Sekretariatu opravljati njune obveznosti; d) sprejme in upošteva vsa poročila, ki jih predložijo Znanstveni svet, Sekretariat, katera koli pogodbenica ali katero koli stalno telo, ustanovljeno na podlagi SPORAZUMOV; e) daje priporočila pogodbenicam za izboljšanje varstvenega stanja selitvenih vrst in presoja napredek, ki je bil narejen v okviru SPORAZUMOV; f) v primerih, ko SPORAZUM ni bil sklenjen, daje priporočila za sklic zasedanj pogodbenic, ki so države na območju razširjenosti selitvene vrste ali skupine selitvenih vrst, da bi obravnavale ukrepe za izboljšanje varstvenega stanja teh vrst; g) daje priporočila pogodbenicam za učinkovitejše izvajanje konvencije in h) odloča o vseh dodatnih ukrepih, ki naj bi jih izvedle za uresničevanje ciljev te konvencije. 6. Konferenca pogodbenic na vsakem zasedanju določi čas in kraj naslednjega zasedanja. 7. Konferenca pogodbenic na vsakem zasedanju določi in sprejme poslovnik za to zasedanje. Konferenca pogodbenic na zasedanjih sprejema odločitve z dvotretjinsko večino pogodbenic, ki so prisotne in glasujejo, če konvencija ne določa drugače. 8. Organizacijo združenih narodov, njene specializirane agencije, Mednarodno agencijo za atomsko energijo in države, ki niso pogodbenice te konvencije, in telesa, ki jih za vsak SPORAZUM določijo pogodbenice tega SPORAZUMA, lahko na zasedanjih Konference pogodbenic zastopajo opazovalci. 9. Vsaka agencija ali telo, ki ustreza spodnjima kategorijama in je tehnično usposobljena za zavarovanje in varstvo selitvenih vrst ter njihovo upravljanje in je Sekretariat seznanila s svojo željo, da jo na zasedanjih Konference pogodbenic zastopajo opazovalci, bo sprejeta, razen če temu nasprotuje najmanj ena tretjina prisotnih pogodbenic: a) mednarodne vladne ali nevladne agencije ali telesa in državne vladne agencije ali telesa; b) državne nevladne agencije ali telesa, ki jim je država, v kateri so, v ta namen odobrila zastopanje. S sprejetjem imajo opazovalci pravico do udeležbe, ne pa glasovanja.

1. Na svojem prvem zasedanju Konferenca pogodbenic ustanovi Znanstveni svet, za svetovanje o strokovnih zadevah. 2. Vsaka pogodbenica lahko imenuje usposobljenega strokovnjaka za člana Znanstvenega sveta. Poleg tega Znanstveni svet kot člane vključuje tudi usposobljene strokovnjake, ki jih izbere in imenuje Konferenca pogodbenic; število teh strokovnjakov, merila za njihov izbor in pogoje za njihovo imenovanje določi Konferenca pogodbenic. 3. Znanstveni svet se sestaja na zahtevo Sekretariata glede na odločitve Konference pogodbenic. 4. Znanstveni svet sprejme svoj poslovnik, ki ga potrdi Konferenca pogodbenic. 5. Konferenca pogodbenic določi naloge Znanstvenega sveta, ki lahko vključujejo: a) zagotavljanje strokovnih nasvetov Konferenci pogodbenic, Sekretariatu, in če tako odobri Konferenca pogodbenic, kateri koli pogodbenici ter vsakemu telesu, ki je ustanovljeno na podlagi te konvencije ali SPORAZUMA; b) priporočanje in usklajevanje raziskav o selitvenih vrstah, vrednotenje rezultatov teh raziskav z namenom ugotoviti varstveno stanje selitvenih vrst in obveščanje Konference pogodbenic o tem stanju in ukrepih za njegovo izboljšanje; c) pripravo priporočil Konferenci pogodbenic o selitvenih vrstah, ki jih je treba vključiti v Dodatka I in II, skupaj z navedbo razširjenosti teh selitvenih vrst; d) pripravo priporočil Konferenci pogodbenic o posebnih varstvenih ukrepih in ukrepih upravljanja, ki jih je treba vključiti v SPORAZUME o selitvenih vrstah in e) pripravo priporočil Konferenci pogodbenic za reševanje problemov, ki se nanašajo na strokovne vidike uresničevanja konvencije, posebej kar zadeva življenjske prostore selitvenih vrst.

1. Sekretariat je ustanovljen za potrebe te konvencije. 2. Po začetku veljavnosti konvencije izvršilni direktor Programa Združenih narodov za okolje določi Sekretariat. Pri tem mu lahko pomagajo v obsegu in na način, ki je po njegovem mnenju primeren, ustrezne medvladne ali nevladne, mednarodne ali državne agencije in telesa, ki so strokovno usposobljena za varstvo, ohranjanje in upravljanje prosto živečih živali. 3. Če Program Združenih narodov za okolje ne bo mogel več zagotavljati dela Sekretariata, se Konferenca pogodbenic v zvezi s Sekretariatom drugače dogovori. 4. Naloge sekretariata so: a) priprava zasedanj in pomoč na zasedanjih: i) Konference pogodbenic in ii) Znanstvenega sveta; b) vzdrževanje in spodbujanje stikov med pogodbenicami, stalnimi telesi, ustanovljenimi s SPORAZUMI in drugimi mednarodnimi organizacijami, ki se ukvarjajo s selitvenimi vrstami; c) iz vseh ustreznih virov pridobiti poročila in druge informacije za doseganje ciljev in uresničevanje konvencije ter poskrbeti za ustrezno širjenje takih informacij; d) usmerjati pozornost Konference pogodbenic na vsa vprašanja, povezana s cilji te konvencije; e) pripravljati poročila za Konferenco pogodbenic o delu Sekretariata in o uresničevanju konvencije; f) skrbeti za seznam držav na območju razširjenosti selitvenih vrst, vključenih v Dodatka I in II, in ga objavljati; g) pod vodstvom Konference pogodbenic spodbujati sklepanje SPORAZUMOV; h) skrbeti za seznam SPORAZUMOV in ga dati na voljo pogodbenicam in če to zahteva Konferenca pogodbenic, priskrbeti vsako informacijo o teh SPORAZUMIH; i) objavljati in skrbeti za seznam priporočil, ki jih sprejme Konferenca pogodbenic v skladu s točkami e), f) in g) petega odstavka 7. člena, ali seznam odločitev, ki jih sprejme v skladu s točko h) tega odstavka; j) skrbeti za obveščanje javnosti o tej konvenciji in njenih ciljih in k) opravljati vse druge naloge, ki so mu zaupane s to konvencijo ali mu jih zaupa Konferenca pogodbenic.

1. Ta konvencija se lahko spremeni na vseh rednih ali izrednih zasedanjih Konference pogodbenic. 2. Predloge za spremembo lahko da vsaka pogodbenica. 3. Besedilo vsake predložene spremembe in razloge zanjo je treba sporočiti Sekretariatu najmanj sto petdeset dni pred zasedanjem, na katerem naj bi se sprememba obravnavala, in Sekretariat jo takoj sporoči pogodbenicam. Pogodbenice sporočijo pripombe k besedilu Sekretariatu najmanj šestdeset dni pred začetkom zasedanja. Sekretariat takoj naslednji dan po izteku roka za pripombe sporoči pogodbenicam vse pripombe, ki so prispele do tega dne. 4.
