In October 1998 the 1971 Fund Executive Committee instructed the Director to continue his efforts to ensure that the implications for States of remaining in the 1971 Fund were fully understood by all 1971 Fund Member States. The Committee also instructed the Director to study the option of requesting the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to convene a Diplomatic Conference, in accordance with Article 45 of the 1971 Fund Convention, for the purpose of amending the provisions contained in Article 43 of the 1971 Fund Convention on winding up the Organisation, so that such an amendment could immediately be applied provisionally, pursuant to Article 25 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
