 The Oriental Republic of Uruguay becomes a Party to the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels today, following the deposition of its instrument of accession with the Australian Government on 9 October 2008 (click here), which in turn followed the adoption of the necessary domestic legislation by Uruguay’s Senate and Chamber of Representatives on 16 July 2008 (click here).  

Thirteen Parties to ACAP (click here) are now able to attend the Third Session of its Meeting of Parties, due to be held in Bergen, Norway from 27 April to 1 May 2009.
