001 - Archiving Resolutions and Recommendations meeting retirement criteria, consolidating policy and future reviews

Latest version in this language: | Published on: 14 Oct 2021

NOTING that since IUCN was established in 1948 its Members have convened in 19 sessions of the General Assembly and six sessions of the World Conservation Congress;

UNDERLINING that Resolutions and Recommendations adopted by the World Conservation Congresses and the preceding General Assemblies establish the fundamental body of IUCN policy;

FURTHER NOTING that a large body of IUCN Resolutions and Recommendations has accumulated and that to date Members have adopted 1,305 Resolutions and Recommendations;

RECALLING Resolutions relevant to the motions process, including, most recently, Resolution 6.001 Identifying and archiving obsolete Resolutions and Recommendations to strengthen IUCN policy and to enhance implementation of IUCN Resolutions (Hawai‘i, 2016);

FURTHER RECALLING that Council, in responding to Resolution 6.001, in its Decision C/96/22, approved a list of Resolutions and Recommendations to be retired and forwarded to the Members’ Assembly for endorsement, as well as the deployment and launch of an online archive to enable access to these retired Resolutions and Recommendations prior to the opening in May 2019 of the motions submission process for the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2020;

NOTING that the IUCN Resolutions Database includes all active Resolutions and Recommendations; and

ALSO NOTING that the revised motions submission form for the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2020 includes requirements for greater precision and specificity regarding implementation and reporting (and eventual archiving);

The IUCN World Conservation Congress, at its session in Marseille, France:

1. WELCOMES the work of Council through its Task Force on Resolutions Retirement, including the development and application of criteria for identifying implemented, elapsed, superseded or obsolete Resolutions and Recommendations, attached as Annex 1, and the creation of an accessible archive of Resolutions and Recommendations that no longer require implementation;

2. ENDORSES the final list of Resolutions and Recommendations to be retired and moved to the archive, attached herewith as Annex 2, noting that a number of these Resolutions establish and provide the context for formal IUCN policy that remains current;

3. AFFIRMS that IUCN policies adopted by the World Conservation Congress by Resolutions that are subsequently archived remain active and in force, unless and until such polices are superseded, revised or repealed by a Resolution of a subsequent World Conservation Congress;

4. REQUESTS Council and the Director General to:

a. continue to work intersessionally to review and refine the criteria used to initially populate the archive in the light of feedback from the online discussion, to review the implementation of active Resolutions and Recommendations and to recommend to the next Members’ Assembly, applying these criteria, a list of Resolutions and Recommendations for retirement and archiving, together with the criterion for which each is to be retired and archived;

b. undertake a policy review before the next Members’ Assembly of all active Resolutions and Recommendations, and archived Resolutions that have established IUCN policy that remains active and in force, with a view to assembling (and potentially proposing consolidation of) Resolutions that deal with the same or closely related issues to help ensure that IUCN’s policy positions are collated, clear and accessible; and

c. consider the need for, and modalities of a mechanism for the ongoing review of Resolutions and Recommendations adopted in future Members’ Assemblies, with a view to moving to the archive those that are implemented, obsolete, or for which a specified interval has elapsed or a milestone has been achieved, while ensuring their continued policy currency and relevance.

Annex 1: Criteria used for retiring and archiving Resolutions and Recommendations (set out in IUCN Council document C/93/PPC/5.1)

IMPLEMENTED

A Resolution/Recommendation can generally be considered implemented when either:

a. all actions stated in the Resolutions have been carried out; or

b. the intent of the Resolution has been achieved, even if not all actions carried out.; or

c. the requirements of the Resolutions have been appropriately formalised (e.g. included in the IUCN Statutes, establishment of a new dedicated programme, etc.).

SUPERSEDED (precedence clause)

A given Resolution/Recommendation (‘Resolution A’) can be considered superseded when another Resolution/Recommendation (‘Resolution B’) was adopted afterwards, where:

a. Resolution B merely repeats the content of Resolution A; or

b. Resolution B recalls all items of Resolution A (without including them word for word); or

c. Resolution B covers the same issue and policy of Resolution A but adds additional components; or

d. Resolution B adopts a policy that is in contrast to the previously adopted policy in Resolution A (Precedence clause).

ELAPSED

The Resolution/Recommendation sets out a specific timeline or deadline for its implementation and by the time of considering the Resolution/Recommendation for retirement this deadline has been passed, the Resolution/Recommendation is considered to be elapsed. In particular where:

a. the Resolution sets out a specific timeline or deadline for its implementation, for example: to be done by year X; for/by the next Congress; over the coming X years; or

b. the Resolution was working or contributing towards a specific event without specifying a particular timeline, e.g. a conference, such as Rio+10.

OBSOLETE

A Resolution/Recommendation is considered obsolete if one of the following criteria is met:

a. the subject of the Resolution/Recommendation does not exist anymore or is no longer valid; or

b. the object of the Resolution/Recommendation:

i. does not exist anymore (problem solved), e.g. the Resolution called on the restoration of a specific ecosystem, but independent of IUCN’s work the ecosystem was restored – the Resolution is obsolete; or

ii. is no longer valid, e.g. the Resolution lays out actions to improve the status of a species, but the species went extinct in the meantime; or e.g. the Resolution called for the development of material to prevent the building of a specific dam, but the dam was still built – the Resolution is obsolete; or

iii. is based on scientific assumptions that have been refuted by more recent scientific findings / universally accepted concepts; or

iv. is no longer in line with IUCN’s objectives as outlined by the most recent IUCN Statutes.
