CHAD GIVES "OK"

The Government of the Republic of Chad became the first Member State to accede to the Constitution and Convention of the African Telecommunications Union adopted by the 4th Extraordinary Session of the Conference of Plenipotentiaries, Cape, South Africa, 6 & 7 December 1999.

The letter of accession was deposited with the Secretary General on October 25, 2000.

The Republic of Chad is therefore the first Member State to accede to the instruments establishing the restructured Union.

We are appealing the Member States, which have not yet ratified or accede to these instruments to expedite process for a quick entry into force of these basic legal instruments of the Union.
