The Convention, as amended by its Protocol will, once the Protocol enters into force, constitute the 2010 HNS Convention. In order to avoid a situation in which two conflicting regimes would become operational, States that decide to become Parties to the 2010 HNS Protocol must ensure that they deposit instruments only in respect of the Protocol, without any references to the 1996 HNS Convention (see resolution 3 of the International Conference of 2010 on the Revision of the HNS Convention). |
