Bureau Director Engelbert Theuermann on June 15. Theuermann
said the GoA had already notified the Swiss Government that
it supported a diplomatic conference to adopt the Third
Additional Protocol. Theuermann added that the GoA was
satisfied with the draft rules of procedure, and hoped that a
diplomatic conference would take place in 2005. He noted
that it would be important to convince uncommitted countries.
In that context, Theuermann confided that EU Member States
have been actively demarching Arab governments to support the
Swiss approach.
