Travaux intersessions

Reconnaissant combien il importe de renforcer la coopération, l’assistance et les échanges internationaux pour l’application des sciences et des techniques biologiques à des fins pacifiques, la septième Conférence d’examen a décidé que le thème de la coopération et de l’assistance, l’accent étant mis sur le renforcement de la coopération et de l’assistance au titre de l’article X, constituera l’un des trois points inscrits à titre permanent à l’ordre du jour. Ceux-ci sont examinés lors des séances des réunions d’experts comme des réunions des États parties, et ce chaque année durant le programme intersessions 2012-2015. Les questions qui doivent être discutées au titre de ce point permanent de l’ordre du jour sont les suivantes :
