A United Nations operation may be a peacebuilding operation under the Protocol not only at the conflict and post conflict stage, but at the pre conflict stage as well.

The Protocol allows States parties to opt out from applying the provisions of the Convention to a United Nations operation delivering emergency humanitarian assistance when that operation is conducted for the sole purpose of responding to a natural disaster.

An issue identified by the working group requiring particular attention is how the operation of an optional protocol might affect domestic decisions on resource allocation.

The agreement between the Organization and a host State prior to the initiation of an operation was critical in determining whether the operation was in fact a peacebuilding one and would serve as basis for implementing the obligations of the protocol.

The PRESIDENT pointed out that, in article 13, paragraph 3, the Protocol stipulated that the work of the Conference should include a review of the operation and status of the Protocol, and that, at the First Review Conference of the Convention, the States parties had undertaken to review the provisions of the Protocol.

However, delays in the full implementation of the Lusaka Protocol and the deteriorating security situation in major regions in Angola continued to impede the organized repatriation operation.

Article 11 of the Kyoto Protocol provides that the guidance to the entity or entities entrusted with the operation of the financial mechanism in relevant decisions of the COP, including those agreed before the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, shall apply mutatis mutandis.

The first Meeting of the Parties shall adopt by consensus financial rules, in accordance with guidance received from the Conference of the Parties, to ensure that any additional funds for the operation of this Protocol are provided by the Parties to this Protocol.

Such a declaration could be made when the State became a party to the draft protocol or at any time prior to the deployment of such an operation.

With regard to an operation conducted for the purpose of delivering humanitarian assistance in response to a natural disaster, Kenya was flexible on the applicability of the optional protocol.

This Protocol shall apply to an operation conducted solely for the purpose of delivering emergency humanitarian assistance in case of natural disaster unless the host State expresses its objection to such application through a declaration deposited, prior to the deployment of the operation, with the Secretary General.
