C.iii What is meant by a "system of notification and registration"
115. The representative of New Zealand recalled that, in relation to the issue of definition, her delegation had asked a number of questions about the practical effect and the scope that would arise from using the definition under Article 22.1. In the absence of further understanding on that issue, her delegation found it difficult to think clearly about the legal effects, if any, stemming from registration. Therefore, it reiterated the views it had expressed in the Council's regular session, which were closely related to the points raised in the Special Session by Malaysia, Australia and Canada.
