No changeswere made to the text, but several new proposals were submitted for consideration. Mexico proposed new text for articles8 to 11 (see A/AC.254/L.96). Argentina proposed a new chapter III of the protocol, dealing with trafficking in migrants byland (see A/AC.254/L.99). It was decided that further discussion of these articles would be deferred until texts for the correspondingprovisions of the draft convention had been agreed upon.
