CONSTITUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION *
(GENEVA, 1992)

PART I. Foreword

By virtue of and in implementation of the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the International Telecommunication Union (Geneva, 1992), as amended by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Kyoto, 1994), by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Minneapolis, 1998), by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Marrakesh, 2002) and by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Antalya, 2006), in particular those in Article 55 thereof, the Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunication Union (Guadalajara, 2010) has adopted the following amendments to the said Constitution:

CHAPTER V
Other Provisions Concerning the Functioning of the Union

ARTICLE 28
Finances of the Union

MOD 165
PP-98
5. When choosing its class of contribution, a Member State shall not reduce it by more than 15 per cent of the number of units chosen by the Member State for the period preceding the reduction, rounding down to the nearest lower number of units in the scale, for contributions of three or more units; or by more than one class of contribution, for contributions below three units. The Council shall indicate to it the manner in which the reduction shall be gradually implemented over the period between plenipotentiary conferences. However, under exceptional circumstances such as natural disasters necessitating international aid programmes, the Plenipotentiary Conference may authorize a greater reduction in the number of contributory units when so requested by a Member State which has established that it can no longer maintain its contribution at the class originally chosen.

PART II. Date of entry into force

The amendments contained in the present instrument shall, as a whole and in the form of one single instrument, enter into force on 1 January 2012 between Member States being at that time parties to the Constitution and the Convention of the International Telecommunication Union (Geneva, 1992), and having deposited before that date their instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval of, or accession to, the present amending instrument.
