Abstract

Firstly the Law provides general power to States to make Ordinances to protect species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade, taking, possession and transport thereof, and to implement the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ("the Convention"). An Ordinance may make provision in relation to the following matters – (a) the regulation of imports, exports and re-exports of specimens of such species of fauna and flora as may be specified, by way of permits and certificates issued by [the Committee], including, without limitation, provision as to the classification of species; the criteria of which [the Committee] is to be satisfied, and the requirements which the importer or exporter or re-exporter is to fulfil before such a permit or certificate may be issued; the specification of ports of entry; the presentation of documentation; the identification and marking of specimens of classified species; the import of specimens of classified species from, or the export or re-export to, a state that is not a party to the Convention; the regulation of the movement; the form of the documentation relating to such imports, exports, re-exports and movements; appeals against refusals to issue a permit or certificate; (b) the designation of [the Committee] as the Management Authority; (c) the control of commercial activities relating to specified species; (d) the prohibition of the ownership or possession of specimens of classified species; (g) the levying of fees or charges, (h) the actions and measures that may be taken by any specified person, or court, to ensure compliance; (i) the disposal of specimens; (j) the penalties, remedies and sanctions; (k) the courts and persons which, or who, may impose or grant any such penalties, remedies or sanctions; etc. The Law then continues with general provisions concerning the power to make ordinances.
