2011-2012 Secretariat's Overall Report
8 COM CLT-13/8.COM/CONF.203/9 Paris, 4 December 2013 Original: English/French SECOND PROTOCOL TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF 1954 FOR THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN THE EVENT OF ARMED CONFLICT COMMITTEE FOR THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN THE EVENT OF ARMED CONFLICT Eighth meeting UNESCO Headquarters, Paris 18 to 19 December 2013 Item 12 of the Provisional Agenda: Consideration of national reports on the implementation of the Second Protocol 2012-2013 CLT-13/8.COM/CONF.203/9 – page 2 I. ASSESSMENT OF ISSUES COVERED 1. Article 27 (1)(d) of the Second Protocol provides for the Committee “to consider and comment on reports of the Parties, to seek clarifications as required, and prepare its own report on the implementation of this Protocol for the Meeting of the Parties”. As of 28 October 2013, the Secretariat had received twenty national reports on the implementation of the Second Protocol (from Belgium, Canada, the Republic of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Japan, the Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Oman, Peru, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland). By way of comparison, as of that same date, sixty-four States in total were party to the Second Protocol.1 2. As the national implementation of the Second Protocol is closely linked to the national implementation of the Hague Convention and its 1954 Protocol, it is proposed that the Committee consider both the national reports on the implementation of the Second Protocol and those on the implementation of the Hague Convention and the 1954 Protocol submitted by the Parties.
