Measures withdrawn


The Representatives,

Recalling Decision 3 (2002), Decision 1 (2007), Decision 1 (2011), Decision 1 (2012), Decision 1 (2014) and Decision 2 (2015), which established lists of measures* that were designated as spent or no longer current;

Having reviewed a number of measures identified by the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty as having the status of "not yet effective";

Recognising that the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision are spent or have been overtaken by subsequent measures adopted by the Parties on the same subject-matter;

Decide:

1. that the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision are withdrawn; and

2. to request the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty to post the text of the measures that appear in the Annex to this Decision on its website in a way that makes clear that these measures did not enter into effect and have been withdrawn.

*Note: measures previously adopted under Article IX of the Antarctic Treaty were described as Recommendations up to ATCM XIX (1995) and were divided into Measures, Decisions and Resolutions by Decision 1 (1995).
