ARTICLE 8 -- RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER CONVENTIONS:
Paragraph
1 states that the Parties shall encourage the coordination of
activities carried out under this Convention and other instruments.
Paragraph 2 states that this Convention shall not affect the rights
and obligations of any Party deriving from a bilateral, regional or
global agreement entered into before this Convention. There was
concern expressed by China and Saudi Arabia that some countries are
not Parties to all these other conventions. The US requested that
paragraph 2 be revisited at a later date to ensure that it does not
conflict with the rest of the Convention. Both of these paragraphs
remain bracketed.
