| Sumario: | In Part XV (Implementation Monitoring and Review);, of the Programme of Action of Small
Island Developing States (SIDS POA);, which was adopted at the United Nations Global
Conference on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (UNGCSIDS);, 26
April- 6 May 1994, in its paragraph 117, it is provided that the Commission on Sustainable
Development (CSD); should, inter alia:
Carry out an initial review of the progress achieved and steps taken to implement the
Programme of Action, to be undertaken by the Commission on Sustainable Development in 1996
in accordance with its Multi-Year Thematic Programme of Work. Furthermore, in 1997, when
the Commission will carry out the overall review of Agenda 21 with a view to preparing for
the 1997 special session of the General Assembly, the Commission should recommend specific
modalities for the full review of the Programme of Action in 1999. That full review would
include the question of the convening of a second global conference in accordance with
chapter 17, Section G of Agenda 21.
At the twenty-second special session which convened on 27-28 September 1999 to
undertake a "review and appraisal of the implementation of the Programme of Action
for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States", it was
recommended, inter alia, that:
"Although periodic reviews of certain aspects of the Programme of Action are
envisaged within the context of the work of the Commission on Sustainable Development, a
full and comprehensive review of these decisions and the implementation of the Programme
of Action would be useful and required in 2004."
In the Plan of Implementation adopted at the World Summit on Sustainable Development
(WSSD);, which convened in Johannesburg, South Africa, over the period, 26 August-4
Septemeber 2002, the relevant recommendation was as follows:
"Undertake a full and comprehensive review of the implementation of the Barbados
Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States in
2004, in accordance with the provisions set forth in General Assembly resolution S-22/2,
and in this context requests the General Assembly at its fifty-seventh session to consider
convening an international meeting for the sustainable development of small island
developing States."
