CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
40th Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 11th-15th May, 2009
DOC. SC40-4
Agenda item 4
Briefing for new members on the roles and responsibilities of the
Standing Committee Chairs and members
Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to review this background document and
its suggestions, and amend them as needed to create guidelines to inform its work for this
triennium.
1.
The Standing Committee of the Ramsar Convention was established by Resolution 3.3
(Regina, 1987) to oversee Convention affairs and the activities of the Secretariat between
ordinary meetings of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP), within the
framework set by the COP at each of its meetings.
2.
The regional composition, functions, and responsibilities of the Standing Committee and
its members are governed by Resolution VII.1 (1999). Rules of Procedure for meetings of
the Standing Committee (SC), in all matters not specified in Resolution VII.1, are governed
by the Rules of Procedure for the Conference of the Contracting Parties, mutatis mutandis.
3.
In addition to clarifying the regional categorization of countries under the Convention and
defining a proportional system of regional membership of Parties elected by the
Conference of the Parties to represent the COP intersessionally on the SC, Resolution
VII.1 lays out the roles and responsibilities of the SC members. In particular Resolution
VII.1:
“19. DECIDES that the Standing Committee shall meet at least once each year,
normally at the seat of the Convention Bureau [i.e., Secretariat]. The costs of
participation of Committee members from developing countries and countries
with economies in transition shall be borne by the Convention;
20.
DETERMINES that within the policy agreed by the Conference of the
Contracting Parties, the functions of the Standing Committee shall be to:
a)
carry out, between one ordinary meeting of the Conference of the
Contracting Parties and the next, such interim activity on behalf of the
Conference as may be necessary, giving priority to matters on which the
Conference has previously recorded its approval;
b)
make preparations on issues, including inter alia draft Resolutions and
Recommendations, for consideration at the next meeting of the
Conference of the Contracting Parties;
DOC. SC40-4, page 2
c)
supervise, as a representative of the Conference of the Contracting
Parties, the implementation of policy by the Ramsar Bureau, the
execution of the Bureau’s budget, and conduct of the Bureau’s
programmes;
d)
provide guidance and advice to the Ramsar Bureau on the
implementation of the Convention, on the preparation of meetings, and
on any other matters relating to the exercise of its functions brought to
it by the Bureau;
e)
act as Conference Committee at meetings of the Conference of the
Contracting Parties in accordance with the Rules of Procedure;
f)
establish subgroups as necessary to facilitate the carrying out of its
functions;
g)
promote regional and international cooperation for the conservation and
wise use of wetlands;
h)
submit proposals to the COP for the election of members of the
Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP);
i)
approve the work plan of the STRP on the basis of the decisions of the
COP, receive the reports of the STRP on the progress made with its
implementation, and provide guidance for its future development;
j)
adopt for each triennium the Operational Guidelines for the Small
Grants Fund for Wetlands Conservation and Wise Use and decide on
the allocation of funds;
k)
review each triennium the criteria for and select the laureates of the
Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award established by Resolution VI.18;
l)
report to the Conference of the Contracting Parties on the activities it
has carried out between ordinary meetings of the Conference.
21.
DETERMINES that the tasks of the regional representatives elected to serve
in the Standing Committee shall be those contained in Annex II of this
resolution;
22.
DECIDES that the Standing Committee, as a subsidiary body of the
Conference of the Parties, shall be governed, mutatis mutandis, by the Rules of
Procedure for meetings of the Conference.”
Decision-taking by the Standing Committee appointed members
4.
Resolution VII.1, paras. 6 and 7, makes it clear that the “voting members” of the Standing
Committee are the regional representative members appointed at the most recent meeting
of the COP and the host countries of the most recent and next meetings of the COP.
DOC. SC40-4, page 3
5.
Thus, unlike a meeting of the COP itself, at which all Contracting Parties are voting
members of the meeting, only the Standing Committee members set out in those
paragraphs of Resolution VII.1 are empowered by the COP to take decisions at Standing
Committee meetings. Traditionally, Standing Committee decisions are made whenever
possible by consensus, but if a vote is needed, the COP Rules of Procedure concerning
voting come into play for those Standing Committee voting members.
6.
In recent years, an increasing number of Contracting Parties have been welcomed at
Standing Committee meetings as observers. At the discretion of the SC Chair, such
observer Parties and other observer organizations contribute to the richness of the
discussions during Standing Committee agenda items. Under the Rules of Procedure,
however, observer Parties are not in a position to vote, if a vote should be necessary, or to
block any decision that needs to be taken by the Standing Committee itself.
7.
If at any time the Standing Committee should deem it necessary to go into a closed session
of SC members only, in order to consider confidential matters or to reach a consensus on a
decision, the Chair will request all observer Parties and organizations to leave the room
during that discussion.
8.
Subgroups of the Standing Committee are likewise composed of Standing Committee
members who are preparing advice on various matters for the full Standing Committee,
but those subgroups will normally also welcome observer Parties and organizations, who
may express their views freely but may not vote or block consensus.
Roles and responsibilities of the Chair and appointed members of the Standing
Committee
9.
The Secretariat proposes that, in line with Resolution VII.1, the 40th meeting of the
Standing Committee should consider making a formal decision that confirms the tasks and
responsibilities of the Chair of the Standing Committee and the Regional Representatives
elected to serve in the Standing Committee, as follows:
Chair of Standing Committee
