Co-operation through international agreements or otherwise is essential to prevent, eliminate or reduce and effectively control adverse environmental effects resulting from activities conducted in all spheres, in such a way that due account is taken of the interests of all States. 23. States shall ensure that international organizations play a co-ordinated, efficient and dynamic role for the protection and enhancement of the environment.
