The General Assembly,
Mindful of the ever more serious financial difficulties caused to the Institute by the failures over a number of years of certain member States to pay their annual contributions and of the distortions thereby created in the calculation of the annual receipts of the Institute,
Conscious of the fact that the measures so far adopted by the General Assembly in its Resolutions (38)1, (40)1, (42)1, (42)2, (42)4 and (45)2 have failed to remedy the situation created by the existence of long-standing arrears in the payment by certain member States of their annual contributions to the Institute,
Convinced that the only means of resolving the problems created by the accumulation of such long-standing arrears is by way of an amendment to the Statute of the Institute,
HAS DECIDED:
1. to amend the text of Article 20 of the Statute of the Institute as follows:
“1.– Any Government wishing to accede to this Statute shall notify the Italian Government in writing of its accession,
2.– Accession shall be effective for six years, it shall be deemed to be renewed for further periods of six years unless denunciation is effected in writing at least one year before the expiry of any such period.
3.– Notwithstanding the provision of paragraph 2 of this Article, any Government which has accumulated arrears in contributions the amount of which is equivalent to or in excess of the aggregate of its assessed contributions for the four immediately preceding years, shall be deemed to have denounced the Statute and such denunciation shall take effect on the day on which the accounts are closed in respect of the last year of the relevant four year period.
4.– Accessions and denunciations shall be notified to the participating Governments by the Italian Government.
5.– No Government which has denounced it this Statute, or which is deemed to have denounced it in accordance with the terms of paragraph 3 of this Article, shall be readmitted to membership until such time as it has discharged in full any outstanding financial obligations to the Institute.”
2. to remove from the contributions chart of the Institute, as from 1 January 1994, any Government that has accumulated arrears in contributions corresponding to the four year period referred to in Article 20, paragraph 3 of the Statute as amended by paragraph 1 of the operative part of this Resolution. Any such Government shall however remain liable for the payment of its assessed annual contributions until such time as its membership of the Institute ceases upon the entry into force of the amendments to Article 20 as set out in this Resolution or under any other provisions of the Statute.
