Decision XIII/14: Ratification of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and the London, Copenhagen, Montreal and Beijing Amendments

The Thirteenth Meeting of the Parties decided in Dec. XIII/14:

  1. To note with satisfaction the large number of countries that have ratified the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer;
  2. To note that as of 30 September 2001, 153 Parties had ratified the London Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and 128 Parties had ratified the Copenhagen Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, while only 63 Parties had ratified the Montreal Amendment to the Montreal Protocol;
  3. To note further that only 11 Parties have to date ratified the Beijing Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, a situation that made it impossible for the Amendment to enter into force by 1 January 2001 as agreed in Beijing in 1999;
  4. To urge all States that have not yet done so to ratify, approve or accede to the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol and its Amendments, taking into account that universal participation is necessary to ensure the protection of the ozone layer.
