Artikel XVIII

1. The Organization may postpone or change the venue and/or timing of the Forum upon consultation with the Government if the security phase determined by the United Nations Department of Safety and Security increases from the security rating at the time of signature of the Agreement and prior to the opening of the Forum. If the Organization chooses to exercise this right, the Organization shall be released from any and all commitments related to the postponed and/or changed meeting or meetings under this Agreement and the Parties shall immediately consult with a view to limiting and equitably distributing reasonable costs associated with such a decision. In the event of such an increase in the security rating, and if the Organization does not postpone or change the venue of the Forum, any additional costs incurred by the Organization for measures deemed by the Parties in consultation to be necessary, shall be borne by the Government.
2. Any notice or request required or permitted to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, mail or email to the entity to which it is required to be given or made at the address specified below or such other address as will be hereafter notified. Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given or made on the date it was hand delivered, registered or transmitted from the sender’s email operator, but any assumption of the actual notice shall be subject to rebuttal to show that it has not actually been received.
3. This Agreement may only be amended and terminated by mutual agreement formalized in writing by the Government and the Organization.
