Evaluation of the Implementation Support Unit (ISU)

The 2009 Second Review Conference mandated a task force to oversee an evaluation of the ISU, presenting its final report and recommendations to all States Parties in time for adoption at the 10MSP. The 10MSP endorsed the final report of the ISU Task Force, and, in doing so: (a) mandated the President, in consultation with the States Parties, to conclude an amended agreement with the GICHD regarding the ISU, (b) adopted the “Directive from the States Parties to the ISU” as annexed to the ISU Task Force report, ensuring that the ISU is directly responsible to the States Parties while it continues to be hosted by the GICHD, and, (c) tasked the President to establish an informal open-ended working group to examine new models for the financing of the ISU and present recommendations and draft decisions on the most feasible comprehensive financing model for adoption by the 11MSP, so it may be effective from the financial year 2012. In addition, the States Parties endorsed the President’s Statement on the Endorsement of the ISU Task Force Report, as contained in Annex IX to this report.
