Article 33 regulates the implementation and the national monitoring system of the Convention. In particular, Contracting States have the postive obligation to designate focal points for matters relating to the implementation of the Convention, to establish or to designate a coordination mechanism and finally, according to the para. 2 of the Article 33, to establish one or more national independent mechanism(s). Such national mechanism is engaged in a wide range of activities. In general, it is created in order to promote, to protect and monitor the implementation of the Treaty.
