One-Stop Shop for the monitoring of the implementation of standard-setting instruments

"One-stop shop” to monitor and evaluate the implementation of standard-setting instruments

Introduction

This web page, which is currently under construction, aims at enabling Member States to find out about the various ongoing consultations on the implementation of the 2 conventions and 17 recommendations monitored by the Executive Board in a single place, and to be redirected directly to each of the platforms concerned, thus constituting a "one-stop shop" for the monitoring of  standard-setting instruments.

This page will benefit from the technical features that will be developed in 2025 when the IT platform for the Culture Sector is set up to centralize the reception of reports from Member States on the implementation of standard-setting instruments in the field of culture (with a view to preparing the first global report on cultural policies) and its generalization to other program sectors.

Information on the implementation of other UNESCO conventions is also available on the Legal Affairs website under Legal texts on UNESCO conventions.

Consultations calendars for 2022-2025

Conformément à l’article 18.1 du Règlement relatif aux recommandations aux États membres et aux conventions internationales, le Comité sur les conventions et recommandations (CR) examine toutes questions relatives à l'application des instruments normatifs de l'UNESCO (conventions et recommandations) confiées au Conseil exécutif. Il reçoit et examine les rapports des États membres concernant l’application de ces instruments.

En application des dispositions des articles IV, paragraphe 4, et VIII de l’Acte constitutif, le Secrétariat préparera en début de chaque exercice biennal un calendrier de remise par les États membres de leurs rapports sur les mesures prises en vue de la mise en œuvre des conventions et recommandations pour l’exercice considéré, tout en rappelant la périodicité et la date de présentation des rapports sur le suivi de l’application de ces instruments à la Conférence générale de l’UNESCO.
