Furthermore, no party to a treaty or international agreement subject to registration which has not been registered may invoke that treaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. The General Assembly, by resolution 97 (I), established regulations to give effect to Article 102 of the Charter (see text of the regulations, vol. 859, p. VIII; http://treaties.un.org/doc/source/publications/practice/registration_and_publication.pdf). The terms "treaty" and "international agreement" have not been defined either in the Charter or in the regulations, and the Secretariat follows the principle that it acts in accordance with the position of the Member State submitting an instrument for registration that, so far as that party is concerned, the instrument is a treaty or an international agreement within the meaning of Article 102. Registration of an instrument submitted by a Member State, therefore, does not imply a judgment by the Secretariat on the nature of the instrument, the status of a party or any similar question. It is the understanding of the Secretariat that its acceptance for registration of an instrument does not confer on the instrument the status of a treaty or an international agreement if it does not already have that status, and does not confer upon a party a status which it would not otherwise have. - iv - GENERAL INTRODUCTION This is the fifty-second volume of the United Nations Treaty Series Cumulative Index. This volume covers the treaties and international agreements contained in volumes 2751 to 2800 of the United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS). The volume consists of two main sections, each preceded by an explanatory note. In the first section, “Chronological Index”, treaties and international agreements are listed in the order of the dates on which they were first adopted, signed or opened for signature or accession, etc. Any subsequent agreements and/or actions relating to the original agreement are to be found under the date of the original instrument. The second section, “Alphabetical Index”, refers to treaties and international agreements by a party and by subject. References Unlike previous volumes, entries in both sections will no longer contain references to UNTS page numbers, and references to volumes outside the range of the present index are now shown in parenthesis. Treaty numbers for instruments included in the United Nations Treaty Series consist of a Roman numeral or capital letter and an Arabic numeral, joined by a colon (i.e., I:49255; II:1357; A:594; B:754; C:1063). The Roman numeral I signifies treaties and international agreements registered with the Secretariat; Roman numeral II signifies treaties and international agreements filed and recorded by the Secretariat. The letters A or B indicate subsequent instruments which fall within categories I and II, respectively. The letter C indicates subsequent instruments in the context of the League of Nations treaties. The Arabic numeral indicates the serial number assigned to the instrument within categories I or II , A, B or C. Treaties and international agreements appearing in the League of Nations Treaty Series are identified by the symbol “LoN” followed by the Arabic number of the treaty registration. Volume numbers in the United Nations Treaty Series are in Arabic numerals; those in the League of Nations Treaty Series are in Roman numerals. Dates of actions such as accession, declaration, ratification, etc., are the dates of deposit of the corresponding instrument or notification. An agreement marked with an asterisk indicates limited publication effected in accordance with article 12 (2) of the General Assembly regulations to give effect to Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations as amended in the last instance by General Assembly resolution 33/141 A of 19 December 1978. (For the text of the regulations see UNTS vol.859, page Viii). - v - CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX EXPLANATORY NOTE (See also the GENERAL INTRODUCTION) The Chronological Index is a list of treaties and international agreements arranged by order of date(s) on which they were originally adopted, signed or opened for signature or accession. The Chronological Index includes the following data and sequence: (I) date (year, day, month) on which the instrument was concluded; (II) full title of the original agreement, including parties in the case of bilateral and closed multilateral agreements, and date(s) of conclusion; (Ill) full title(s) of subsequent agreement(s) and/or action(s); (IV) signatories (United Nations Agreements only); (V) authentic languages of agreements; (VI) treaty number; and (VII) volume number. In using the Index, however, it should be noted that: (a) Where an instrument bears more than one date, it appears under the earliest date, and See-references are made under succeeding dates directing the reader to the date under which the full entry can be found. (b) Subsequent actions (e.g., amendments, extensions, modifications, etc.) to bilateral instruments are listed under the date of the original instrument. If the original instrument was included in a previous UNTS Cumulative Index, any subsequent actions found in volumes 2750 to 2800 are entered under the earliest date when the change in the status of the instrument recorded in those volumes occurred. (c) Any formalities (e.g., amendments, modifications, withdrawals, etc.) affecting the status of a multilateral instrument are entered under the date of the original instrument. If a multilateral instrument appears for the first time in volumes 2750 to 2800, the volume where it can be found is indicated in the corresponding columns at the right margin. Please, also note that: (1) The See or See also references are used only in the alphabetical index to refer to the related subject matters. (2) Information on simple signatures for multilateral treaties deposited with the Secretary- General (ex-officio agreements) which are not subject to registration is provided in the index for the benefit of a comprehensive legal research.

The ECLJ has held Special Consultative Status before the United Nations/ECOSOC since 200i.

Such a manoeuvre indicates that the Palestinians are prepared to violate the terms of agreements they have entered into when such terms become inconvenient or do not lead to the results the Palestinians otherwise desire. Such actions violate fo undational principles of international law, to wit, the principle of ·'good fa ith" 3 4 and the rule of ''pacta sunt servanda" regarding treaties , and cannot be permitted or tolerated.

    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

  • Location: ECLAC, Santiago, Chile “Moving Towards the Implementation of Safe, Affordable and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Lati
    “Moving towards the Implementation of Safe, Affordable and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean” Location: ECLAC, Santiago, Chile 5 - 6 October 2017 Among the guiding principles of the New Urban Agenda (NAU) is the importance of strengthening mobility and sustainable urban transport. Likewise, the proposed Regional Action Plan for the implementation of NAU also seeks to promote sustainable modes of transport in the face of the challenges of climate change, urbanization and urban population growth. This event will focus on opportunities to accelerate the systemic implementation of safe, affordable and sustainable urban mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and its integration in the proposed Regional Action Plan and the global agendas, in particular the NAU, Agenda 2030 and Paris Agreement. Representatives of national and sub-national governments, representatives of local government networks, representatives of international organizations, experts and academics on mobility and transport issues, representatives of the private sector and international cooperation, and others will participate in this event. The session seeks to integrate urban mobility into public policy dialogue, capacity building and urban investments. It will also facilitate the exchange of good practices and local public policy recommendations to strengthen the institutional framework for sustainable urban mobility and explore the roles and responsibilities of different actors who can facilitate a sustainable transport agenda (development banks, the private sector, cooperation agencies, etc.). In addition, the session will seek to deepen the links between sustainable urban development and mobility (ie., via transit-oriented development), the role of mobility in resilience and adaptation, private sector participation, and lastly, equality and gender issues in urban mobility.

  • Press Release
    April PRESS RELEASE Alstom’s innovative solutions for Line 2 of Panama Metro start commercial service 26 April 2019 – Alstom, leader of Grupo de Empresas (GdE), celebrates together with Consorcio Linea 2 (formed by Odebrecht and FCC) the entry into commercial service of Line 2 of Panama Metro. The Group has been in charge of supplying an integrated metro system which includes 21 Metropolis trainsets as well as traction substations including Hesop reversible substation, and Urbalis – Alstom Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) solution which controls the movement of the trains and enables trains to run at higher frequencies and speeds in total safety. "We are honored and grateful to be providing an integrated system that both improves the operation of the metro line and reduces the environmental impact. As the commercial service starts, these technologies will allow the residents of Panama to have a reliable, comfortable and environmentally friendly means of transportation in the city", said Ludovic d'Hauthuille, Managing Director of Alstom North Latin America. In order to optimize energy consumption, the electrical power supply system will be equipped with substations with Hesop technology, the Alstom solution for reversible substations that allows recovering and transferring more than 99% of the energy generated by the braking of the trains. This energy can be reused in the electrical network of the stations for services such as escalators, lighting and ventilation. The Hesop reversible substation is available and operational since 2015, in a wide range of voltage and power configurations. One hundred twenty-four Hesop substations have been installed in various railway networks, including the metros in Milan, Riyadh, London and Dubai, as well as the Sydney and Milan trams.

  • Gde Consortium Successfully Operated the Partial Operation of the Panama Metro Line 2
    GdE Consortium successfully operated the partial operation of the Panama Metro Line 2 Panama, January 31, 2019 – The consortium Grupo de Empresas (GdE), led by Alstom with Thales, Sofratesa, CIM and TSO, delivered the integral railway system for the partial service of the Panama Metro Line 2 in a record time of 40 months, in time for the World Youth Day. Line 2, which is more than 90% complete, operated successfully to help people transportation to the event, held in the Panamanian capital from January 22 to 27. The temporary and partial opening provided service in 5 of the line´s 16 stations: Corredor Sur, Pedregal, San Antonio, Cincuentenario and San Miguelito. The GdE consortium worked in collaboration with Metro de Panama authorities to provide users with an excellent service, with 24 hours monitoring during the World Youth Day celebrations to address any contingency. In 2014, Metro de Panama awarded the Line 2 project to the Odebrecht-FCC consortium (CL2), which subcontracted the design and construction of the integral railway system to GdE consortium, including the supply of 21 Metropolis trains, as well as traction substations, which incorporate Hesop, reversible substations and Urbalis signaling system (Alstom's CBTC solution, which controls the trains movement and allows higher frequencies and operation speeds with total safety). The integral railway system also includes track systems, 44 km of concrete slab track, 50 km of mainly rigid catenary as well as workshop equipment, plus telecommunications and centralized control systems. It is estimated that the commercial operation of Panama Metro Line 2 will begin in early May, after the conclusion of the last works.
