ARTICLE 43 (Endnote 1)
Procedure for placing on the agenda of the Conference the question of revising
a Convention in whole or in part
1. When the Governing Body, in accordance with the provisions of a Convention,
considers it necessary to present to the Conference a report on the working of
the said Convention and to examine if it is desirable to place the question of
its revision in whole or in part on the agenda of the Conference, the Office
shall submit to the Governing Body all the information which it possesses,
particularly on the legislation and practice relating to the said Convention
in those countries which have ratified it and on the legislation relating to
the subject of the Convention and its application in those which have not
ratified it. The draft report of the Office shall be communicated to all
Members of the Organisation for their observations.
2. After a lapse of six months from the date of circulation to members of the
Governing Body and to Governments of the draft report the Office referred to
in paragraph 1, the Governing Body shall fix the terms of the report and shall
consider the question of placing the revision in whole or in part of the
Convention on the agenda of the Conference.
3. If the Governing Body takes the view that it is not desirable to place the
revision in whole or in part of the Convention on the agenda, the Office shall
communicate the above-mentioned report to the Conference.
4. If the Governing Body takes the view that it is desirable that the question
of placing the revision in whole or in part of the Convention on the agenda of
the Conference should be further pursued, the Office shall send the report to
the governments of the Members and shall ask them for their observations,
drawing attention to the points which the Governing Body has considered
specially worthy of attention.
5. The Governing Body shall, on the expiry of four months from the date of the
despatch of the report to the governments, taking into account the replies of
the governments, adopt the final report and define exactly the question or
questions which it places on the agenda of the Conference.
6. If at any time other than a time at which the Governing Body, in accordance
with the provisions of a Convention, considers it necessary to present to the
Conference a report on the working of the said Convention, the Governing Body
should decide that it is desirable to consider placing upon the agenda of the
Conference the revision in whole or in part of any Convention, the Office
shall notify this decision to the Governments of the Members and shall ask
them for their observations, drawing attention to the points which the
Governing Body has considered specially worthy of attention.
7. The Governing Body shall, on the expiry of four months from the date of the
despatch of this notification to the governments, taking into account the
