THIRD SESSION OF THE INCD:
The third session of the INCD
will meet at UN Headquarters in New York from 17-28 January. The
provisional agenda for the session is as follows: Adoption of the
agenda and organization of work; Elaboration of an international
convention to combat desertification in countries experiencing
serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa;
Review of the situation as regards extrabudgetary funds; Adoption
of the provisional agenda for the fourth session and organization
of work for the final stages of negotiations; and Adoption of the
report of the Committee on its third session.
The main focus of this session will be the Secretariat's
negotiating text of the Convention (A/AC.241/15). This will be the
first time that delegates will be working from this text and, thus,
look for delegates to focus on drafting, negotiating and
bracketing.
