CITES ( the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as the Washington Convention ) is a multilateral treaty, drafted as a result of a resolution adopted in 1963 at a meeting of members of the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ).

The convention was opened for signature in 1973, and CITES entered into force on 1 July 1975.

Only one species protected by CITES, the Spix's Macaw, has possibly become extinct in the wild as a result of trade since the Convention entered into force ( but see case studies in Hutton and Dickinson and Stiles for further discussion of the role CITES has played in the fate of particular species ).

As of 2002, 50 % of Parties lacked one or more of the four major requirements for a Party: designation of Management and Scientific Authorities ; laws prohibiting the trade in violation of CITES ; penalties for such trade ; laws providing for the confiscation of specimens.

Although the Convention itself does not provide for arbitration or dispute in the case of noncompliance, 30 years of CITES in practice has resulted in several strategies to deal with infractions by Parties.

The CITES Convention includes provisions and rules for trade with non-Parties.

Specific weaknesses in the text include: it does not stipulate guidelines for the ' non-detriment ' finding required of national Scientific Authorities ; non-detriment findings require copious amounts of information ; the ' household effects ' clause is often not rigid enough / specific enough to prevent CITES violations by means of this Article ( VII ); non-reporting from Parties means Secretariat monitoring is incomplete ; and it has no capacity to address domestic trade in listed species.

While many developing countries have been eager to join CITES, the annual costs of staffing and maintaining a CITES office and an effective presence at the biennial CoP gatherings remain unaffordable for many signatory nations.

Moreover, the CITES Secretariat itself is largely dependent on signatories ' offices for determinations on whether the trade in a given species is " non-detrimental.

Suggestions for improvement in the operation of CITES include: more regular missions by the Secretariat ( not reserved just for high profile species ); improvement of national legislation and enforcement ; better reporting by Parties ( and the consolidation of information from all sources-NGOs, TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network and Parties ); more emphasis on enforcement-including a technical committee enforcement officer ; the development of CITES Action Plans ( akin to Biodiversity Action Plans related to the Convention on Biological Diversity ) including: designation of Scientific / Management Authorities and national enforcement strategies ; incentives for reporting and timelines for both Action Plans and reporting.

Other languages were designed for use with manual memory management, but have garbage collected implementations available ( e. g., C, C ++).

Some languages, like Ada, Modula-3, and C ++/ CLI allow both garbage collection and manual memory management to co-exist in the same application by using separate heaps for collected and manually managed objects ; others, like D, are garbage collected but allow the user to manually delete objects and also entirely disable garbage collection when speed is required.

As a result, the need for explicit manual resource management ( release / close ) for non-GCed resources becomes transitive to composition.
