Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Summary: "The Alpine Convention is an international treaty between the Alpine Countries Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia and Switzerland as well as the EU for the sustainable development and protection of the Alps. Specific measures implementing the principles laid down in the framework Convention are contained in the Protocols to the Alpine Convention. In the Protocols, concrete steps to be taken for the protection and sustainable development of the Alps are set out. The Ministers of the Alpine States met in October 1989 and decided to draft an agreement for the protection and sustainable development of the Alps. The Alpine Convention is the first convention for the protection of a mountain region worldwide that is binding under international law: for the first time a transnational mountain range has been deemed in its geographical continuity, to be a common territory facing common challenges. Alongside the legal framework of the Alpine Convention, a number of important ongoing activities seek to put into practice the commitments contained in the Convention and its Protocols. This article shows the state of ratification, the organization of the Alpine Convention and the main content of the treaties for the practice. It has got a focus on the current work and even a current decision of the Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee is a body that controls if the commitments and obligations resulting from the Alpine Convention are complied with. This 2016 decision deals with Art. 11 of the Protocol "Nature protection and landscape conservation" and should have impact on the experience of the implementation of this rule in the contracting states. Art. 11 undertakes the contracting parties to preserve, manage and, where necessary, to extend the existing protected areas, in keeping with their protective function, and also to define, where possible, new protected areas. They shall take all appropriate measures to avoid impairing or destroying these areas." (Seite 467) |
