The language in article III of the draft protocol would also need further consideration.

The risk element was therefore a prerequisite for application of the draft optional protocol.

That was why it was vital to conclude a draft protocol to cover such situations.

The relationship between the draft optional protocol and the Convention was spelled out in draft article I, which stipulated that the protocol supplemented the Convention and that the two should be read and interpreted together as a single document.

Any move to adopt the draft protocol before such issues had been addressed would be counterproductive.

His delegation would have liked to see a draft protocol of broader scope than appeared viable.

There was no need, therefore, to elaborate a new definition for the purposes of the draft protocol.

Mr. Dolatyar (Islamic Republic of Iran) said that his delegation looked forward to the adoption of the draft resolution and of the draft optional protocol annexed thereto.

Once that was done, the consideration  and the ultimate acceptance of the draft protocol would be greatly eased.

It was therefore crucial that the text of the draft protocol should leave no room for legal ambiguity.

Action should therefore be expedited to draft an optional protocol that would address the inadequacies of the Convention.

The legal protection available to personnel must therefore be strengthened, and completion of the draft protocol must be a priority.

For that reason, his delegation took the view that pre conflict situations should not be covered by the draft protocol.

He urged all Governments to make every effort to achieve a successful conclusion of the negotiations on the draft protocol.

During the discussions held so far, many proposals had been submitted regarding the most contentious articles of the draft protocol.

Following the last meeting of the Working Group, informal consultations had been held to continue consideration of the draft protocol.

Under the terms of the draft resolution, the General Assembly would, inter alia, reaffirm, in the context of the Convention and its draft Optional Protocol, the importance of maintaining the integrity of international humanitarian law, and would also encourage States to enact national legislation, as necessary, in order to enable the implementation of the Convention and the draft Optional Protocol.

Legal clarity was crucial for the future implementation of the draft protocol in domestic courts and for universal accession to the instrument.

A realistic approach to the provisions relating to application of the draft protocol was necessary if future negotiations were to be successful.

His delegation therefore looked forward to working with other States with a view to finalizing the draft protocol during the current session.
