Abstract

Objectives: To prevent, abate, combat and control pollution of the South-East Pacific area caused by discharges from rivers, coastal establishments or outfalls, or emanating from any other land-based sources within the territories of the coastal States.

Summary of provisions: Parties undertake to establish programmes and measures, including particularly emission standards and standards for using and discharging substances listed in annexes I and 11 or wastes containing such substances (arts. 3-6). They agree to carry out activities to assess the levels of pollution along their coasts and to evaluate the effects of measures taken under the Protocol (art. 8). Parties are to cooperate in scientific and technological fields (arts. 7 and 10), the exchange of information and consultations (arts. 9 and 12)

Institutional mechanism: Parties undertake to convene, within the framework of the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS), ordinary and extraordinary meetings for considering the implementation of the Protocol, the efficacy of the measures adopted and the need for amendments (art. 15).
