ARTICLE 2 -- OBJECTIVE:
Delegates agreed on the two
paragraphs in this article. The first states that the objective of
the Convention is to combat desertification and mitigate the
effects of drought in countries experiencing serious drought and/or
desertification, particularly in Africa, through effective actions
at all levels, supported by international cooperation and
partnership arrangements, consistent with Agenda 21. The second
paragraph stresses the importance of long-term integrated
strategies.
