This law ratifies the United Nations Convention to combat desertification in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa, which was signed on behalf of Greece on 14 October 1994 (article 1 of the present law). The Convention aims at combating desertification and mitigating the effects of drought through national action programs that incorporate long-term strategies supported by international cooperation and partnership arrangements. The law, consisting of four articles (ratification (art. 1), competent authority for the implementation of the Convention (art. 2), power to the Minister of Agriculture to further provide on this subject (art. 3) and entry into force (art. 4)), adopts all the provisions of the Convention and the Annexes attached therewith.
