Also at CoP12, the Conference of the Parties revised 14 current Resolutions. The revised versions are now available on this site and can be identified by the suffix (Rev.

In addition, the Conference of the Parties revised five Resolutions relating to financing and budgeting of the Secretariat and of meetings of the Conference of the Parties. These Resolutions were amended simply in order to delete the paragraph relating to the procedure for approval of externally funded projects. The Resolutions concerned are excluded from the list of valid Resolutions because, although they have not been formally repealed, each one is considered to have been superseded by the next one on the same subject. They therefore remain in effect in particular as an indication of the scale of contributions agreed by the Conference of the Parties for past years and that unpaid contributions have still to be paid at the rates indicated. The Resolutions in this series revised at CoP12 are as follows:
- Conf. 7.2 (Rev. CoP12)
- Conf. 8.1 (Rev. CoP12)
- Conf. 9.2 (Rev. CoP12)
- Conf. 10.1 (Rev. CoP12)
- Conf. 11.2 (Rev. CoP12)
