106.

The States Parties on whose territory transit or basing points are located shall, as far as possible, assist in facilitating the inspection, including transporting the inspection team, its baggage and equipment to the inspection area, as well as providing the relevant amenities specified in paragraph 11. The Organization shall reimburse assisting States Parties for all costs incurred.

107.

Subject to the approval of the Executive Council, the Director-General may negotiate standing arrangements with States Parties to facilitate assistance in the event of an on-site inspection in an area beyond the jurisdiction or control of any State.

108.

In cases where one or more States Parties have conducted an investigation of an ambiguous event in an area beyond the jurisdiction or control of any State before a request is made for an on-site inspection in that area, any results of such investigation may be taken into account by the Executive Council in its deliberations pursuant to Article IV.

Post-Inspection Procedures

109.

Upon conclusion of the inspection, the inspection team shall meet with the representative of the inspected State Party to review the preliminary findings of the inspection team and to clarify any ambiguities. The inspection team shall provide the representative of the inspected State Party with its preliminary findings in written form according to a standardized format, together with a list of any samples and other material taken from the inspection area pursuant to paragraph 98. The document shall be signed by the head of the inspection team. In order to indicate that he or she has taken notice of the contents of the document, the representative of the inspected State Party shall countersign the document. The meeting shall be completed no later than 24 hours after the conclusion of the inspection.

Departure

110.

Upon completion of the post-inspection procedures, the inspection team and the observer shall leave, as soon as possible, the territory of the inspected State Party. The inspected State Party shall do everything in its power to provide assistance and to ensure the safe conduct of the inspection team, equipment and baggage to the point of exit. Unless agreed otherwise by the inspected State Party and the inspection team, the point of exit used shall be the same as the point of entry.

PART III

CONFIDENCE-BUILDING MEASURES

1.

Pursuant to Article IV, paragraph 68, each State Party shall, on a voluntary basis, provide the Technical Secretariat with notification of any chemical explosion using 300 tonnes or greater of TNT-equivalent blasting material detonated as a single explosion anywhere on its territory, or at any place under its jurisdiction or control. If possible, such notification shall be provided in advance. Such notification shall include details on location, time, quantity and type of explosive used, as well as on the configuration and intended purpose of the blast.

2.

Each State Party shall, on a voluntary basis, as soon as possible after the entry into force of this Treaty provide to the Technical Secretariat, and at annual intervals thereafter update, information related to its national use of all other chemical explosions greater than 300 tonnes TNT-equivalent. In particular, the State Party shall seek to advise:

(a) The geographic locations of sites where the explosions originate;

(b) The nature of activities producing them and the general profile and frequency of such explosions;

(c) Any other relevant detail, if available; and

to assist the Technical Secretariat in clarifying the origins of any such event detected by the International Monitoring System.

3.

A State Party may, on a voluntary and mutually acceptable basis, invite representatives of the Technical Secretariat or of other States Parties to visit sites within its territory referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2.

4.

For the purpose of calibrating the International Monitoring System, States Parties may liaise with the Technical Secretariat to carry out chemical calibration explosions or to provide relevant information on chemical explosions planned for other purposes.

ANNEX 2 TO THE PROTOCOL

List of Characterization Parameters for International Data CentreStandard Event Screening

1.

The International Data Centre standard event screening criteria

shall be based on the standard event characterization parameters determined during the combined processing of data from all the monitoring technologies in the International Monitoring System. Standard event screening shall make use of both global and supplementary screening criteria to take account of regional variations where applicable.

2.

For events detected by the International Monitoring System seismic component, the following parameters, inter alia, may be used:

— location of the event;

— depth of the event;

— ratio of the magnitude of surface waves to body waves;

— signal frequency content;

— spectral ratios of phases;

— spectral scalloping;

— first motion of the P-wave;

— focal mechanism;

— relative excitation of seismic phases;

— comparative measures to other events and groups of events; and

— regional discriminants where applicable.

3.

For events detected by the International Monitoring System hydroacoustic component, the following parameters, inter alia, may be used:

— signal frequency content including corner frequency, wide-band energy, and mean centre frequency and bandwidth;

— frequency-dependent duration of signals;

— spectral ratio; and

— indications of bubble-pulse signals and bubble-pulse delay.

4.

For events detected by the International Monitoring System infrasound component, the following parameters, inter alia, may be used:

— signal frequency content and dispersion;

— signal duration; and

— peak amplitude.

5.

For events detected by the International Monitoring System radionuclide component, the following parameters, inter alia, may be used:

— concentration of background natural and man-made radionuclides;

— concentration of specific fission and activation products outside normal observations; and

— ratios of one specific fission and activation product to another.

I hereby certify that the foregoing text is a true copy of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 September 1996, the original of which is deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Je certifie que le texte qui précde est une copie conforme du Traité d’interdiction complte des essais nucléaires, adopté par l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies le 10 septembre 1996, et dont l’original se trouve déposé auprs du Secrétaire général des Nations Unies.
