Abstract

As indicated above by Kant and Confucius’s words, first of all, it is necessary to clarify what is really said. Unless the meaning is understood correctly, a regulation might be applied wrongly or incompletely in practice due to substantial divergence in the ways in which it has been understood. Therefore, due to the fact that, “thinking, judging and carrying knowledge require both concepts and intuitions to which the concepts are applied” (Dicker 2004: 17), as stressed in Kant’s words, in order “to relate concepts to practice,” it is necessary to give the concepts practical meaning, content and direction (Schachter 1991: 2). Doing this also makes it possible to show the direction of the perspective pursued in the study and constrain it to the frames of these definitions.

To understand the concept of effectiveness better, see also Maljean-Dubois/Richard (2004) on two tests of efficacité and effectivité (referring to De Visscher [1967]. Les effectivités du droit international public).

Najam et al. (2006) also raise another concept, ‘performance,’ as their study’s main concern, defining it as “the sum of implementation, compliance, enforcement and effectiveness.”

The formal status of IOPs was established through Resolution VII.3 of 1999, and four organizations (namely, Bird Life International, IUCN – The World Conservation Union, Wetlands International and the World Wide Fund for Nature) were granted the status of IOP (COP 7, Resolution VII.3, 1999). Subsequently, through Resolution IX.16, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) also became an IOP of the Convention (COP 9, Resolution IX.16, 2005). In line with Resolution VII.3, it was also decided that other relevant and interested international non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations meeting the criteria for formal recognition as Partners of the Convention should present an application to the Ramsar Secretariat for its consideration (for Memoranda of Understanding/Cooperation concluded with diverse IOs/NGOs under the Ramsar Convention, see:
