CP/RES. 801 (1299/01)

DATE OF THE SIXTH INTER-AMERICAN SPECIALIZED CONFERENCE
ON PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW (CIDIP-VI)

            THE PERMANENT COUNCIL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES,

            CONSIDERING that, by resolution CP/RES. 798 (1297/01), the Permanent Council set December 3 to 7, 2001, as the dates for the Sixth Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law (CIDIP-VI), to be held at the Organization's headquarters;

            BEARING IN MIND the new international context resulting from the terrorist attacks on the Hemisphere, which has made it necessary to modify the Organization's existing agenda to take up more urgent topics consistent with the demands for common security; and

            TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the successive reports on preparations for the Sixth Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law (CIDIP-VI) prepared by the Department of International Law of the Secretariat for Legal Affairs and the presentations by thematic coordinators to the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs, which demonstrate the drafting efforts made during the past six years, which, by their very nature, call for an adequate level of representation and attention by the official delegations of the member countries,

RESOLVES:

            To postpone the Sixth Inter-American Specialized Conference on Private International Law (CIDIP-VI). It will be held in 2002, prior to February 15, on a date to be decided. The postponement will take place ad referendum of the decision to allocate resources from Subprogram 10W of the program-budget for 2002, in the same amount as was allocated for 2001.
