the ministries to keep adequate records of the codes, standards and practices that had
been adopted and that had been or are being implemented, as a basis for an adequate
monitoring of their mandate (i); that a central depositary be created in the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in order to centralize documentation related to
