Tās mērķis ir panākt:(a) valstu hidrogrāfijas dienestu darbības koordināciju;(b) iespējami lielu jūras karšu un dokumentu vienveidību;(c) visdrošāko un efektīvāko metožu apgūšanu hidrogrāfisko mērījumu veikšanā un izmantošanā;(d) zinātnes attīstību hidrogrāfijas jomā un tehnisko paņēmienu pilnveidošanu aprakstošajā okeanogrāfijā.3. pantsŠīs Organizācijas biedri ir šīs Konvencijas dalībvalstis.4. pantsOrganizācija ietver:— Starptautisko Hidrogrāfijas konferenci, turpmāk saukta Konference;— Starptautisko Hidrogrāfijas biroju, turpmāk saukts Birojs, kuru vada Vadības komiteja.5. pantsKonferences funkcijas ir sekojošas:(a) sniegt vispārīgus norādījumus Organizācijas darbībai;(b) ievēlēt Vadības komitejas locekļus un tās Prezidentu;(c) pārbaudīt Biroja iesniegtos ziņojumus;(d) pieņemt lēmumus par tehniska vai administratīva rakstura priekšlikumiem, ko iesniegušas dalībvalstis vai Birojs;(e) apstiprināt budžetu ar Konferencē pārstāvēto dalībvalstu pārstāvju divu trešdaļu balsu vairākumu;(f) ar divu trešdaļu dalībvalstu balsu vairākumu pieņemt grozījumus Vispārīgajos un Finansu noteikumos;(g) ar balsu vairākumu, kā tas aprakstīts iepriekšējā punktā, pieņemt jebkādus īpašus noteikumus, kas izrādīsies nepieciešami, it sevišķi attiecībā uz Biroja direktoru vai personāla statusu.6. pants1. Konference sastāv no dalībvalstu pārstāvjiem. Tā sanāk uz kārtējām sesijām reizi piecos gados. Konferences ārkārtas sesiju var sasaukt pēc dalībvalsts vai Biroja pieprasījuma, kad to ir apstiprinājis dalībvalstu vairākums.2. Konferenci sasauc Birojs ar paziņojumu vismaz 6 mēnešus pirms tās sasaukšanas. Ar paziņojumu tiek iesniegta arī pagaidu darba kārtība Konferencei.3. Konferencē ievēl tās Prezidentu un Viceprezidentu.4. Katrai dalībvalstij ir viena balss. Tomēr, kas attiecas uz balsošanu saskaņā ar 5.panta (b) punktu, katrai valstij ir tāds balsu skaits, ko nosaka tās flotes tilpības lielums.5. Konferences lēmumus pieņem ar Konferencē pārstāvēto dalībvalstu vienkāršu balsu vairākumu, izņemot gadījumus, kad Konvencija to paredz citādi. Ja balsojumā par un pret skaits ir vienāds, Konferences Prezidents ir pilnvarots pieņemt lēmumu. Gadījumos, kad Tehnisko rezolūciju krājumā ir jāievieto rezolūcijas, jebkurā gadījumā pozitīvā balsojuma vairākumā ir jābūt pārstāvētām ne mazāk kā vienai trešdaļai dalībvalstu.6. Starp Konferences sesijām Birojs ar sarakstes palīdzību var konsultēt dalībvalstis par jautājumiem, kas skar Organizācijas tehnisko darbību. Balsošanas procedūrai jāatbilst šī panta 5.daļai, vairākumu šajā gadījumā skaitot, pamatojoties uz Organizācijas kopējo dalībvalstu skaitu.7.

Ja direktora amats starp divām Konferencēm ir brīvs, tad var organizēt papildvēlēšanas ar sarakstes palīdzību saskaņā ar Vispārīgajiem noteikumiem. (Skat. piezīmi šīs nodaļas beigās).3. Vadības komitejas Prezidents pārstāv Organizāciju.11. pantsOrganizācijas darbība ir detalizēti izklāstīta Vispārīgajos un Finansu noteikumos, kuri ir pievienoti šai Konvencijai, bet neveido tās integrālu daļu.12. pantsOrganizācijas oficiālās valodas ir angļu un franču.13. pantsOrganizācija ir juridiska persona. Saskaņā ar vienošanos starp iesaistītajām dalībvalstīm, katras valsts teritorijā tā bauda tādas privilēģijas un neaizskaramību, kas ir nepieciešama tās darbības veikšanai un mērķa sasniegšanai.14. pantsNepieciešamos izdevumus Organizācijas darbībai sedz no:(a) kārtējām dalībvalstu gada biedru naudām, kuru lielumu nosaka pēc to flotes tilpības;(b) ziedojumiem, novēlējumiem, subsīdijām un citiem avotiem, ko apstiprina Finansu komiteja.15. pantsJebkurai dalībvalstij, kura divus gadus nav samaksājusi biedru naudu, tiek atteiktas visas tiesības un labumi, ko tām nodrošina Konvencija un noteikumi, līdz tam laikam, kamēr tiek samaksāts parāds.16. pantsOrganizācijas budžetu sastāda Vadības komiteja, to pārbauda Finansu komiteja un apstiprina Konference.17. pantsJebkuras domstarpības attiecībā uz šīs Konvencijas tulkojumu vai piemērošanu, kuras nevar atrisināt sarunu ceļā vai arī ar Vadības komitejas labu gribu, pēc vienas puses pieprasījuma nododamas izšķiršanai arbitram, kuru nozīmē Starptautiskās tiesas prezidents.18. pants1. Šī Konvencija ir pieejama parakstīšanai visām valstīm, kuras piedalījās Biroja darbā 1967.gada 3.maijā, Monako no 1967.gada 3.maija un turpmāk Monako firsta valsts diplomātiskajā misijā Parīzē no 1967.gada 1.jūnija līdz 31.decembrim.2. Iepriekšējā daļā minētās valstis var kļūt par šīs Konvencijas dalībvalstīm:(a) parakstoties bez iebildēm attiecībā uz ratifikāciju vai apstiprinājumu, vai(b) parakstoties tās ratifikācijai vai apstiprinājumam, kam seko ratifikācijas vai apstiprinājuma dokumenta noglabāšana.3. Ratifikācijas vai apstiprinājuma dokumentus nosūta Monako firsta valsts diplomātiskajai misijai Parīzē, lai noglabātu Monako firsta valsts arhīvos.4. Monako firsta valsts valdība informē valstis, kuras minētas šī panta 1.daļā, un Vadības komitejas Prezidentu par katru Konvencijas parakstīšanas gadījumu un par katru šī ratifikācijas vai apstiprinājuma dokumenta nodošanu glabāšanā.19. pants1. Šī Konvencija stājas spēkā trīs mēnešus pēc datuma, kad 28 valstis ir kļuvušas par tās dalībniecēm, saskaņā ar 18.panta 2.daļas nosacījumiem.2. Monako firsta valsts valdība paziņo par šo datumu visām parakstītājvalstīm un Vadības komitejas Prezidentam.20. pantsPēc tam, kad šī Konvencija ir stājusies spēkā, tā pieejama jebkurai jūras valsts valdībai, kura griežas pie Monako firsta valsts valdības, norādot tās flotes tilpību un kuras uzņemšanu apstiprina divas trešdaļas dalībvalstu. Monako firsta valsts valdība paziņo par šo apstiprinājumu attiecīgajai valstij. Valstī Konvencija stājas spēkā datumā, kad tā ir iesniegusi tās iestāšanās dokumentu Monako firsta valstī, kura par to informē dalībvalstis un Vadības komiteju.21. pants1. Jebkura līgumslēdzējpuse šai Konvencijai var ieteikt grozījumus.2. Priekšlikumus par grozījumiem izskata Konference un pieņem ar balsu vairākumu, Konferencē klātesot divām trešdaļām dalībvalstu. Kad ieteikto grozījumu apstiprina Konference, Vadības komitejas Prezidents lūdz Monako firsta valsts valdību iesniegt to visām līgumslēdzējpusēm.3. Grozījumi stājas spēkā un attiecas uz visām līgumslēdzējpusēm trīs mēnešus pēc tam, kad divas trešdaļas līgumslēdzējpuses ir nosūtījušas paziņojumu par to apstiprinājumu Monako firsta valsts valdībai. Par šo faktu tā informēs līgumslēdzējpuses un Vadības komitejas Prezidentu, nosakot grozījumu spēkā stāšanās datumu.22. pants1. Piecus gadus pēc Konvencijas stāšanās spēkā, jebkura līgumslēdzējpuse var šo Konvenciju denonsēt, vismaz vienu gadu iepriekš par to paziņojot Monako firsta valsts valdībai. Denonsēšana stājas spēkā 1. janvārī, kas seko paziņojuma termiņa izbeigšanās datumam, …
