D. Institutional arrangements, monitoring and review:
This
was a new section introduced by AOSIS at the start of the
Conference and based, to a large degree, on the consultations
undertaken by Canada and Argentina at the resumed PrepCom. In the
first sub-section on intergovernmental follow-up, the Commission on
Sustainable Development is urged to monitor and review the
implementation of the Programme of Action within the context of its
multi-year thematic programme of work. The UN General Assembly
should also review implementation. In the sub-section on reporting,
the Secretary-General is urged to prepare analytical reports on the
implementation of the Programme of Action in preparation for CSD
reviews in 1996 and 1999. The Inter-Agency Committee on Sustainable
Development (IACSD) should also make the necessary provision to
consider system-wide coordination in the implementation of
Conference outcomes at the inter-agency level. At the UN
Secretariat level, a "clearly identifiable, qualified and competent
entity" within the Department for Policy Coordination and
Sustainable Development should be put in place. There are also
recommendations for action at the regional and sub-regional levels.
