Artikel 18

When the Council decides that a Member has failed to fulfil its obligations arising out of this Convention, including the payment of financial contributions, it shall be called upon by the Council to rectify the failure. If the said Member does not respond to the Council’s request in the time imparted to it, the Council voting rights of that Member shall be automatically suspended. The other Members of the Council may decide to take such other action as they consider appropriate in the circumstances, which may include a unanimous decision of the other Members of the Council that the Member ceases to be a Member of the SKAO.
