Resolution on the Establishment of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund, 1992
The Conference,
Having adopted the protocol of 1992 to amend the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1971,
Considering that there is a need, before the Protocol enters into force and for some time thereafter, to prepare certain administrative and organizational measures in order to ensure that the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund (hereinafter referred to as “the Fund”) to be established under the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992 (hereinafter referred to as “the Fund Convention”), can operate properly as from the date of entry into force of the said Protocol,
Considering that there is need to provide for a smooth transition of administrative and organizational measures to the regime under the 1992 Fund Convention,
1. Requests the Assembly of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund, 1971 (hereinafter referred to as “the 1971 Fund”), established under the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1971 (hereinafter referred to as “the 1971 Fund Convention”), to authorize and instruct its Director, on the basis that all expenses that may be incured would be reimbursed by the Fund:
a) to perform, in addition to his functions under the 1971 Fund Convention, duties under the Fund Convention, provided that the interests of Parties to the 1971 Fund Convention are not unduly affected;
b) to make all possible efforts, in co-operation with other international organizations concerned such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to encourage early entry into force of the said Protocol;
c) to provide all necessary assistance for the setting up of the Fund;
d) to make the necessary preparations for the first session of the Assembly of the Fund, which is to be convened by the Secretary-General of IMO, in accordance with Article 36 of the Fund Convention;
e) to enter into negotiations with IMO with a view to enabling the Fund to reach agreements, as soon as possible, regarding accommodation and supporting services, as appropriate;
f) to enter into negotiations with the Fund at the appropriate time with a view to reaching a mutually advantageous arrangement enabling both Funds to share a single Secretariat, headed by the Director;
2. Recommends that regular sessions of the Assemblies, under Article 19, paragraph 1, of the Fund Convention and the 1971 Fund Convention, be held, as far as practicable, during the same period and at the same place;
3. Further recommends that the Fund should:
a) ensure, in its Staff Rules and Regulations, that personnel employed by the 1971 Fund on the date when the 1971 Fund Convention ceases to be in force will receive treatment no less favourable, as regards the terms and conditions of their service, as a result of the change of legal personality of the organization;
b) enter into negotiations with the host Government so that the question of the privileges, immunities and facilities to be accorded to the Fund can be considered with a view to its being settled in a mutually satisfactory manner, having regard to the privileges, immunities and facilities accorded at present to the 1971 Fund.
