Selon les statuts de l’OIAU, les membres sont divisés en trois catégories:

  1. Membre effectif
    Ceux ayant adhéré à l’Organisation OIAU par Adhésion
  2. Membre associé
    Ceux ayant convenu par Notification Formelle (voir : Type F) ou par Consensus (voir Type : C) le droit d’adhésion à l’Organisation OIAU et ont donc le droit de recevoir les services de l’OIAU et une invitation permanente à participer au conseil et à la conférence de l’OIAU en qualité d’observateurs</li >
  3. Membre affilié
    Doivent être considérés comme des États possédant au moins un organisme gouvernemental ayant exprimé par notification formelle d’avoir accepté par consensus un tel privilège d’adhésion ou des organisations nationales ou internationales pertinentes travaillant dans le domaine lié à la gestion des urgences et notifiés de ce droit par communication écrite.

 

Ces cours reposent sur différentes formes d’adhésion :

  1. A désigne les membres signataires par une adhésion écrite.
    Ils sont membres votants effectifs de l’IEMO
  2. F indique qu’une notification formelle d’un organisme d’État compétent a formellement convenu de l’adhésion à l’IEMO.
    Ils sont membres associés ou affiliés effectifs avec le statut d’observateur au Conseil de l’IEMO
  3. C a indiqué les Membres considérés comme Honoraires, puisque leur acceptation a été accordée par l’Organisation OIAU et acceptée par Consensus.
    Ils sont considérés comme toujours formellement invités à assister aux sessions du Conseil et de la Conférence de l’OIAU en qualité d’observateurs, en attendant leur notification formelle (F) ou leur adhésion (A) et fourni (gratuitement) avec les services OIAU pertinents.

L’OIAU encourage actuellement tous ses membres à passer rapidement du statut de membre de droit au statut de membre effectif.
Le statut de membre de la classe C indique, en effet, qu’une communication écrite formelle, a été envoyée par courrier recommandé ( avec protocole indiqué dans le champ correspondant) par le Secrétariat directionnel de l’OIAU à l’autorité gouvernementale nationale compétente en matière de prévention des urgences, afin de notifier que, conformément aux statuts de l’IEMO, un droit d’adhésion est né de la fourniture de Article 7 des Statuts de l’OIAU (Traité), dans le Protocole additionnel à la Convention d’établissement de l’OIAU, qui dispose ainsi:

Article 7

IEMO Statutes

 

«… all States and Intergovernmental Organizations possess the right to become Associated Member of the Organization. This right is notified in writing, by the Directional Secretariat of the Organization to States and to Intergovernmental Organizations, who will decide, according to their respective rules, whether to avail themselves, or not of such right. In case of silent consensus, the right is given as acquired after a period of three months from the date of said notification and the new Member is duly registered in the List of Associated Members, with the relevant prerogatives, like the faculty to attend the sessions of the Council of the Organization in observer capacity and to share its Integrated Emergency Prevention System»

 

For States this special form of Membership by Right, granted by Consensus, derives from a specific provision of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (concluded in Vienna 23 May 1969 and entered into force on 27 January 1980 in accordance with article 84 (1) and registered ex officio with the United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS) 27 January 1980 at No. 18232

Article 36

Treaties providing for rights for third states

 

1. A right arises for a third State from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to accord that right either to the third State, or to a group of States to which it belongs, or to all States, and the third State assents thereto. Its assent shall be presumed so long as the contrary is not indicated, unless the treaty otherwise provides.

2. A State exercising a right in accordance with paragraph 1 shall comply with the conditions for its exercise provided for in the treaty or established in conformity with the treaty.

 

In the case of the IEMO Statues (Treaty) the Right arising in favor of third States is the « Right if Membership », considered as acquired by consensus elapsed the provisioned time of 3 months, from the date of notification of such Right.
This must be considered an innovative way to benefit of Provision of Article 36 of Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, thus the unquestionable validity of the Convention among UN Member States may justify such a specific use on this regard.
Of course « Member by Right » by Consensus should be considered as unbound beneficiaries of the IEMO services instead of legally bound by the provisions of the IEMO Statutes. In any case any State may in any case revoke this Right of Membership by simple communication addressed to the IEMO Secretariat. We must also recall that IEMO Membership is free from any whatsoever economic implication and therefore open and free.

For International Organizations the admission as member by Right is ruled by from a specific provision of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organizations or between International Organizations (1986)

  1. …
  2. A right arises for a third organization from a provision of a treaty if the parties to the treaty intend the provision to accord that right either to the third organization, or to a group of international organizations to which it belongs , or to all international organizations, and the third organization assents thereto. Its assent shall be governed by the rules of the organization
  3. A State or an international organization exercising a right in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2) shall comply with the conditions for its exercise provided for in the treaty or established in conformity with the treaty.
