Taking into account the withdrawal of the previously indicated reserves, the Republic of Serbia also withdraws the said declaration, which has been left without object.

Paris, March 20, 1952. BOE: 12-01-1991.

UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND.

20-12-2010. Statement:

I would like to inform you of the reasons for the action taken by the British Government, which has withdrawn the application of Article 3 of Protocol 1 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights in respect of the Turks and Caicos islands as a result of the report of a recently established Commission of Inquiry by the Governor of the Islands. It states serious shortcomings and inadequacies in the system in force and presents preliminary findings which show evidence of corruption and/or other serious acts of lack of honesty by the former Prime Minister of the European Union. Turks and Caicos islands and four ministers of their government. It recommends, inter alia, the opening of criminal proceedings in this respect and the partial suspension of the Constitution of the Turks and Caicos islands.

The intervention of the United Kingdom in the Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands, consisting of the suspension of certain provisions of the Constitution concerning the Government and the Assembly, is a measure of last resort whose The Commission will be able to implement the recommendations of the Committee of Inquiry and thus restore the principles of good governance and sound financial and administrative management in the Member States. the islands. The withdrawal of the application of Article 3 of the Protocol with regard to the Turks and Caicos Islands is therefore certainly a temporary measure applicable until such measures can be taken. The aim of the government is to hold elections by July 2011, or even before; the government is aware that in the long term, it is up to the population of the islands to assume their responsibilities for the future of their territory, through the locally elected government.

UNITED KINGDOM.

21-10-2010. NOTIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY THE LAO PEOPLE ' S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has carefully examined the reservation made by the Lao Government at the time of its ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The United Kingdom considers that this reserve produces the effect of subordinating the application of Article 22 of the Covenant to the national legislation in force in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. As a result, this does not make it possible to know clearly to what extent the Lao People's Democratic Republic is considered bound by the obligations established under Article 22 of the Covenant.

The United Kingdom considers that a reservation should clearly indicate to the other States Parties to the Covenant the extent to which the State of the reserve has accepted the obligations arising from the Covenant. And this does not occur when the reservation consists of a general reference to the domestic law, without specifying other circumstances.

Consequently, the United Kingdom raises an objection to the Laotian Government's reservation in respect of Article 22 of the Covenant. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Pact between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

IRELAND.

13-10-2010. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY THE LAO PEOPLE ' S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION.

The Irish Government has examined the reservations and declarations made by the Lao People's Democratic Republic at the time of its ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and in particular the the intention of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao to apply Article 22 of the Covenant on its territory only to the extent that those provisions are in conformity with the Constitution and the relevant laws of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao.

The Irish Government considers that a reservation consisting in making general references to the Constitution or national laws of the State that formulates them, and which does not clearly state the scope of the exception in relation to the In the Covenant, it casts serious doubt on the commitment of the State to the reserve to fulfil its obligations under the terms of the Covenant.

The Irish Government further considers that such a reservation may infringe the foundations of international law and is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Covenant. Recalls that under Article 19 (a) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, no reservation is allowed to be incompatible with the object and purpose of the Covenant.

Consequently, the Irish Government raises an objection against the reserve formulated by the Lao People's Democratic Republic on Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Pact between Ireland and the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

IRELAND.

AUSTRIA.

13-10-2010. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY THE LAO PEOPLE ' S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION.

The Austrian Government has examined the reservation made by the Government of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao in respect of Article 22 at the time of its ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

In Austria's view, a reservation must clearly define for the other States Parties to the Covenant to what extent the State of the reserve has accepted the obligations arising from the Covenant. This does not occur in the case of a reservation consisting in making a general reference to its constitutional provisions without specifying its consequences. The Austrian Government therefore raises an objection to the reservation made by the Government of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Pact between Austria and the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

NETHERLANDS.

11-10-2010. Statement:

With regard to the reservation made by the Kingdom of the Netherlands at the time of the ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, on 11 December 1978, to the extent that it is relevant, reads as follows:

" ...

Article 12, paragraph 1.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands considers that the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles are territories other than a State for the purposes of this provision.

" ...

Article 12, paragraphs 2 and 4.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands considers that the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles are countries other than the purposes of these provisions.

.... "

the Kingdom of the Netherlands wishes to make the following statement:

" The Kingdom of the Netherlands, comprising, from 10 October 2010, the European part of the Netherlands, the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, San Eustaquio and Saba), Aruba, Curaçao and San Martín, considers such parties as territories other than the purposes of paragraph 1 of Article 12 and as countries other than the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 12 of the Covenant. "

SWEDEN.

18-10-2010. NOTIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY THE LAO PEOPLE ' S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION.

The Swedish Government notes that the Lao People's Democratic Republic reserves the right to interpret Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as provided for in Article 1 of the Covenant, and to apply Article 22 in accordance with its Constitution and its applicable national law. The Swedish Government is of the opinion that this reservation, which does not clearly specify the scope of the derogation, raises serious doubts as to the will of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao to respect the object and purpose of the Pact.

In accordance with customary international law codified in Article 19 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of an agreement are not permitted. It is in the interest of all States that the treaties in which they have decided to participate are respected by all Parties as regards their object and purpose, and that the States are prepared to amend their legislation in such a way as to enable them to comply with their obligations under the Treaties.

On the other hand, the Swedish Government recalls that the classification of a declaration which modifies or excludes the legal effect of certain provisions of a treaty does not necessarily constitute a reservation in respect of the Treaty. The Swedish Government considers that the declarations of the People's Democratic Republic of Lao in relation to Articles 1 and 18 of the Pact change the legal effect of the provisions of the Pact in its application by the People's Democratic Republic of Lao. Consequently, it considers that these interpretative statements are fundamentally reservations.

Consequently, the Swedish Government raises an objection to the stated reservations made by the Lao People's Democratic Republic of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and considers them null and void. effect.

This objection does not prevent the entry into force of the Pact between Sweden and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. As a result, the Pact will enter into full force between the two States, without the Lao People's Democratic Republic being able to assert its reserves.

BAHRAIN.

12-05-2011. Notification pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 4:

The Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United Nations greets the Office of the Secretary General and has the honour to inform you that His Majesty King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, issued the Decree Real 39 of the year 2011, has lifted the state of national security, with effect from June 1, 2011.

URUGUAY.

23-06-2011. OBJECTION TO A RESERVATION MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay considers that the control mechanisms established by international human rights agreements are an essential instrument for monitoring and determining the level of compliance of States Parties with their obligations and form an integral part of the international system for the protection of human rights. Rejecting the competence of the Committee to request, receive and examine the reports of the State Party calls into question the objective of promoting universal and effective respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, established in the preamble of the Covenant.

Therefore, the Government of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay raises an objection to the reservation made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan regarding Article 40 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Such objection shall not prevent the entry into force of the Covenant between the Eastern Republic of Uruguay and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

AUSTRIA.

24-06-2011. COMMUNICATION CONCERNING THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY MALAYSIA AT THE TIME OF ITS ACCESSION.

" The Government of Austria has examined Malaysia's reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, which were notified on 19 July 2010.

Austria considers that a reservation should clearly define for all other States Parties to the Convention the extent of the commitment of the State of the reserve to the obligations arising from the Convention. This does not happen in the case of a reserve consisting of a general reference to constitutional provisions and to the Islamic law (Sharia) without specifying its consequences. Consequently, the Austrian Government submits an objection to this general reservation.

The Government of Austria further considers that, if applied, the reservations referred to in Article 9 (2) and paragraphs (a), (f) and (g) of paragraph 1 of Article 16 would inevitably result in discrimination against women, by reason of sex, which is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention. As a result, the Austrian Government has an objection to these reservations.

This position will not, however, affect the application of the Convention in its entirety between Austria and Malaysia. "

POLAND.

03-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Republic of Poland has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman Treatment or Punishment or demeaning adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations, in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 28 and 30 of the Convention.

The Government of the Republic of Poland considers that the application of the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan are intended to exonerate the State that the formula of the obligations set forth in the Convention with regard to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16, making it impossible to achieve the objective of the Convention, which is to protect people against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and to improve the effectiveness of the fight against such violations of human rights. Consequently, and in accordance with Article 19 (d) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, which constitutes a conventional provision and a customary rule, reservations incompatible with the Treaty are not admissible. the purpose and purpose of the Convention.

In order to justify its willingness to exclude the legal consequences of certain provisions of the Convention, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has raised reservations relating to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16. the incompatibility of those provisions with their domestic law. The Government of the Republic of Poland recalls that under the terms of Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, which constitutes a conventional provision and a customary standard, a State Party cannot invoke the provisions of its domestic law as a justification for the non-execution of a treaty.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan refers in the above-mentioned reserves to Sharia and its domestic law, declaring that they could affect the implementation of the Convention. However, it does not specify the content of such laws and legislation. Consequently. it is impossible to define clearly to what extent the State that has formulated these reserves has accepted the obligations arising from the Convention.

Consequently, the Government of the Republic of Poland raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention against Torture and Other Treatment or Penalties cruel, inhuman or degrading adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1984, in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Poland and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

NETHERLANDS.

30-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or demeaning.

The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands considers that, through the reservations it has made in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan subordinates the laws of the sharia, as well as the constitutional and national laws in force in Pakistan, respect for essential obligations of the Convention.

This prevents the Islamic Republic of Pakistan from knowing the degree of commitment to its obligations under the Convention and raises serious doubts about the accession of Pakistan to the object and the end of the Convention.

The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands considers that this type of reservation should be considered incompatible with the achievement of the object and the end of the Convention and wishes to recall that, in accordance with customary law International, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty are not authorized.

Consequently, the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan concerning the articles of the Convention mentioned above.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

FINLAND.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of Finland welcomes the ratification by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Government of Finland has carefully examined the reservations regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 28 and 30 of the Convention formulated by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of ratification.

The Government of Finland finds that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan reserves the right to apply the provisions of Article 3 to the extent that it complies with the provisions of its laws relating to extradition and to foreigners, and the provisions of Articles 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16, insofar as they do not contradict the provisions of the Constitution of Pakistan and the laws of Sharia.

The Government of Finland notes that a reservation consisting of a general reference to national law, without specifying its content, does not clearly indicate to the other Parties to the Convention the degree of commitment of the State The Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union, the European Union and the European Union. These reserves are also subject to the general principle of interpretation of the Treaties, under which a Party may not invoke the provisions of its domestic law in order to justify non-compliance with obligations arising from a treated.

The reservations to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 are aimed at limiting essential obligations of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan under the Convention and raise serious doubts as to the commitment of the Republic of Pakistan. Pakistan Islamic with the object and the end of the Convention. The Government of Finland wishes to recall that under Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and customary international law, no reservation is authorized to the object and purpose. of a treaty. It is in the interest of all States that the treaties in which they have decided to participate are respected in their object and purpose and that the States are ready to make all necessary legislative changes to be able to fulfil their obligations. obligations under the treaties.

Consequently, the Government of Finland raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Finland. The Convention will therefore be valid between the two States without the Islamic Republic of Pakistan being able to assert its reservations.

PORTUGAL.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or demeaning, adopted in New York on December 10, 1984.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic considers that the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan with regard to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 are reservations aimed at making the implementation of the Convention subordinate to its Constitution, its domestic law and Sharia law, unilaterally limiting the scope of the Convention and thereby contributing to undermining the foundations of international law.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic considers that the reserves in whose virtue a State limits its responsibilities under the International Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment invoking its Constitution, its domestic law and/or sharia, raises serious doubts about the commitment of that State to the object and purpose of the Convention, insofar as such reserves are liable to deprive the provisions of the provisions of the Convention. of the Convention of its effects and are contrary to the object and the end of the Convention.

It is in the interest of all States that the treaties in which they have decided to become Parties are respected, with regard to their object and purpose, by all Parties and that the States are prepared to carry out all legislative amendments necessary to be able to fulfil the obligations imposed on them by such treaties.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic wishes to recall that, in accordance with international customary law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, reservations incompatible with the object and the purpose of the Convention.

Consequently, the Government of the Portuguese Republic raises an objection to the reservations made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan referred to above in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, adopted in New York on 10 December 1984.

However, this objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Portuguese Republic and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

CZECH REPUBLIC.

20-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Czech Republic considers that, if implemented, the reservations made by Pakistan regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention would have the effect of restricting and weakening the universal prohibition. of torture, which is contrary to the object and purpose of the treaty. Furthermore, the fact that Pakistan justifies its reservations in relation to Articles 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 by granting prevalence to its domestic law is unacceptable, in the opinion of the Czech Republic, in accordance with customary international law, codified in Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties. Finally, these reservations, which refer to concepts such as "the Constitution of Pakistan" and "sharia", and the reservation of Article 3 which forwards to expressions such as "the provisions of its laws relating to extradition". and to foreigners, without specifying their content, do not indicate in a precise manner to the other States Parties to the Convention the extent to which the State that formulates the reservation has accepted the obligations arising from the Convention.

It is in the interest of all States that the treaties in which they have decided to be Parties are respected, in terms of their object and purpose, by all Parties and that the States are prepared to make all modifications (a) the necessary legislation to be able to fulfil the obligations imposed on them. In accordance with Article 28 (2) of the Convention, as well as customary international law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of a treated.

Consequently, the Czech Republic raises an objection to the previous reservations made by Pakistan in relation to the Convention. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Czech Republic and Pakistan. The Convention will enter into full force between the two States, without Pakistan being able to assert its reservations.

IRELAND.

23-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Government of Ireland has examined the reservations made on 23 June 2010 by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of ratification of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Cruel demeaning.

The Government of Ireland notes that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan subordinates the application of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 to the Constitution of Pakistan, its domestic law and Sharia law. The Government of Ireland considers that a reservation consisting of a general reference to the Constitution or to the national law of the State making the reservation or to the religious law may raise serious doubts about the commitment of that State to the obligations imposed on it by the Convention. The Government of Ireland considers that such general reservations are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and are likely to compromise the basis of international law of the Treaties.

Consequently, the Government of Ireland raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention against Torture and Other Treatment or Penalties cruel, inhuman or degrading.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Ireland and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. "

AUSTRIA.

24-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Government of Austria has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

The Government of Austria considers that in wanting to exclude the application of the provisions of the Convention considered incompatible with the Constitution of Pakistan, Sharia and certain national laws, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan formulates reserves of general and indeterminate scope and does not allow other States Parties to know precisely the extent to which the State making the reservation accepts the obligations set out in the Convention.

Consequently, the Government of Austria considers that the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention, and raises an objection to these reservations.

This objection does not, however, constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Austria and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

FRANCE.

27-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Government of the French Republic has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of the ratification, on 23 June 2010, of the Convention against Torture and Other Treatment or Penalties cruel, inhuman or degrading.

With respect to the reservations referred to in Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16, France considers that in wanting to exclude the application of provisions of the Convention in so far as they are contrary to or not in conformity with the laws relating to the The Islamic Republic of Pakistan has formulated reservations which are of general and indeterminate nature. These reservations are, in fact, vague, since they do not specify the provisions of their national law to which they relate. They therefore do not allow the other States Parties to appreciate the extent of the commitment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and, in particular, the compatibility of the reserves with the object and purpose of the Convention.

Therefore, the Government of the French Republic raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This objection, however, does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between France and Pakistan. "

GREECE.

29-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Hellenic Republic considers that the reservation made in respect of Article 3, which constitutes an essential provision of the Convention, whereby the application of the Article to the laws of the The Islamic Republic of Pakistan concerning extradition and foreigners, without specifying its content, is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Government of the Hellenic Republic considers that the reservations made in respect of Articles 4, 12, 13 and 16, which make a general reference to the provisions of the Constitution of Pakistan and the sharia, they do not need the scope of the exceptions they establish and are therefore incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.

Therefore, the Government of the Hellenic Republic is opposed to the above reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

However, this objection should not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Greece and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

29-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Government of the United States of America raises an objection to the reservations made by Pakistan to the Convention against Torture, in particular concerning Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention, which is concern non-refoulement, the criminalisation of acts constituting torture, the arrest or detention of persons suspected of having committed acts of torture, the investigation of serious allegations of torture, the right of any person who it claims to have been subjected to torture to lodge a complaint with the competent authorities and to the prosecution and the adoption of measures to ensure the protection of the complainant and the witnesses, as well as the prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In addition, Pakistan has decided not to participate in the investigation procedure of the Committee provided for in Article 20. The fact that Pakistan has issued reservations and its decision not to cooperate in the investigation procedure provided for in Article 20 are of particular concern because they conceal the extent to which Pakistan intends to amend its obligations. As a result of the Convention, the Committee is unable to carry out an investigation in the event that it receives credible information which appears to contain well-founded indications about the systematic practice of torture. Accordingly, the United States considers that all reservations made by Pakistan regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the United States and Pakistan. The above Articles shall apply between our two States, except to the extent determined by the reservations made by Pakistan. "

SWITZERLAND.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" With regard to the Convention of 10 December 1984 against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment:

" The Swiss Federal Council has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention of 10 December 1984 against torture and other cruel, inhuman treatment or punishment. or demeaning, in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16.

The reservations to these articles, which refer to the content of domestic law or Islamic sharia, do not need their scope and make doubt of the will of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to fulfil its obligations. subscribed by becoming a Party to the Convention.

Article 19 of the Vienna Convention of 23 May 1969 on the Law of the Treaties provides that no reservation shall be authorized which is incompatible with the object and purpose [of the Convention].

Consequently, the Swiss Federal Council raises an objection to the aforementioned reservations of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Convention of 10 December 1984 against torture and other cruel treatment or punishment, inhuman or degrading.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Switzerland and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. "

DENMARK.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Kingdom of Denmark has examined the reservations made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of the ratification of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Treatment or Punishment, inhuman or degrading.

The Government of Denmark considers that the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention, which subordinate the respect of those essential provisions to its compliance with Sharia, Pakistan's Constitution and other existing Pakistani legal texts, raises doubts about the extent to which the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is considered bound by the obligations arising from the Convention and produce misgivings about their willingness to respect the object and purpose of the Convention.

The Danish Government wishes to recall once again that customary international law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, does not allow for reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.

Whereas, therefore, that the abovementioned reservations are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention, the Government of Denmark considers that they are not admissible and that they do not have an effect on the law

Consequently, the Government of Denmark raises an objection to the reservations previously indicated by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without prejudice to the entry into force of the integrity of the Convention between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Denmark.

The Government of Denmark recommends that the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan reconsider its position on the reservations it has made to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or demeaning.

HUNGARY.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

Regarding the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:

The Government of the Republic of Hungary has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Punishment demeaning, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1984 in conjunction with Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 28 and 30 of the Convention.

The Government of the Republic of Hungary considers that the application of the reserves that are proposed to eliminate the obligation of the State to fulfil vital obligations imposed on it by the Convention, formulated by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention, would prevent the achievement of the objective of the Convention, which is to protect persons from torture and other cruel, inhuman or cruel treatment or punishment. demeaning, and make the fight against this kind of human rights violations more effective. Consequently, in accordance with Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, which is a treaty and a customary rule, those reservations are not authorised, as they are incompatible with the subject matter and the purpose of a treaty.

In order to justify its willingness to exclude the legal consequences of certain provisions of the Convention, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan mentions, in the reservations it has formulated in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16, the incompatibility of those provisions with their national legislation. The Government of the Republic of Hungary recalls that, in accordance with Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, which is a treaty and a customary rule, the State party to an international agreement cannot invoke the provisions of its domestic law to justify non-compliance with its share of the obligations imposed on it by a treaty.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan refers, in the above reservations, to Sharia and its domestic law, indicating that they may affect the implementation of the Convention. However, it does not indicate the exact content of such legislation. This makes it impossible to clearly define the importance which the State reserves to the obligations incumbent upon it under the Convention.

The Government of the Republic of Hungary therefore raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention against Torture and Other Treatment or Penalties cruel, inhuman or degrading, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1984, on Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Hungary and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

GERMANY.

28-06-11. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has carefully examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 23 June 2010 in relation to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany considers that these reserves subordinate the application of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16, which are fundamental provisions of the Convention, to a system of internal laws whose The content is not accurate, and they do not make clear the extent to which the Islamic Republic of Pakistan agrees to be bound by the obligations arising from the Convention, generating serious misgivings as to its determination to comply with them. Those reservations should therefore be considered as incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and, consequently, contrary to Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties.

Therefore, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany raises an objection to the reservations previously indicated as being incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

AUSTRALIA.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of Australia, having examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, has the following objections: on behalf of Australia:

The Government of Australia considers that the reservations of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (the Convention).

The Government of Australia recalls that customary international law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, prohibits the formulation of any reservation incompatible with the object and the purpose of a treaty.

It is in the common interest of the States which have decided to become parties to a treaty that all Parties of the Treaty respect their object and purpose, and the States must be prepared to introduce the legislative amendments that are necessary to comply with the obligations imposed on them by the treaties.

The Government of Australia further considers that through its reservations the Islamic Republic of Pakistan intends to subordinate the application of the Convention to the provisions in force of its domestic general legislation. As a result, the extent to which the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is considered bound by the obligations imposed by the Convention cannot be known, raising doubts about its adherence to the object and its purpose.

The Government of Australia considers that the reservations to the Convention are governed by the general principle of interpretation of the Treaties set out in Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, which provides that a Party cannot invoke the provisions of its domestic law to justify non-compliance with a treaty.

For all these reasons, the Government of Australia raises its objection to the previously stated reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the face of the Convention, while expressing its hope that it will State withdraw those reservations.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Australia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

SLOVAKIA.

23-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Slovak Republic has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, December 10, 1984, according to which:

" The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that Article 3 shall be applied in such a way as to conform to its laws relating to extradition and to foreigners.

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan states that in respect of paragraph 2 of Article 8 of the Convention, it does not consider the Convention as a legal basis for cooperation with other States Parties to the Convention. extradition.

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that Articles [4, 6, 12, 13 and 16] shall apply to the extent that they do not contradict the Constitution of Pakistan and Sharia.

Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 28 of the Convention, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that it does not recognise the competence conferred on the Committee by Article 20.

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is not considered bound by paragraph 1 of Article 30 of the Convention. "

The Slovak Republic considers that the reservations referred to in Articles 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment make the application of the Convention to Sharia law Islamic. It also considers that the reservations to Article 3 of the Convention are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.

Because of these reservations, it is difficult to determine to what extent the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is considered bound by the obligations set out in the Convention in relation to its commitment to the object and the purpose of the same.

It is in the common interest of the States that all Parties respect the treaties in which they have decided to participate, with regard to their object and purpose, and that all States are prepared to amend their legislation to be able to meet their conventional obligations.

The Slovak Republic recalls that customary international law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, in particular in Article 19 (c), prohibits incompatible reserves. with the object and purpose of a treaty. Consequently, the Slovak Republic makes an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention.

This objection will not prevent the entry into force of the Convention between the Slovak Republic and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without the latter being able to assert its reservations. "

SWEDEN.

22-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of Sweden considers that these reservations raise serious doubts as to the will of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to respect the object and purpose of the Convention, as they are likely to deprive the provisions of the Convention and are contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention.

The Government of Sweden wishes to recall that under customary international law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, no reservation is allowed to be incompatible with the subject and the purpose of a treaty. It is in the common interest of the States that the instruments in which they have decided to become Parties are respected in terms of their object and purpose by all Parties, and that States are prepared to make any changes necessary legislation to be able to meet the obligations imposed on them by the treaties.

Consequently, the Government of Sweden raises an objection to the reservations previously indicated by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Cruel Treatment or Punishment demeaning.

This objection will not prevent the entry into force of the Pakistan-Sweden Convention. The Convention shall enter into full force between the two Parties without Pakistan being able to assert such reservations.

CANADA.

27-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" The Government of Canada has carefully examined the reservations made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of the ratification of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Treatment or Punishment, inhuman or degrading, in which the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that:

"the provisions of Articles 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16" shall apply to the extent that they do not contradict the provisions of the Constitution of Pakistan and the Sharia

.

The Government of Canada considers that a reserve consisting of a general reference to the national law or to the requirements of the Islamic Sharia, is, in reality, a reserve of general and indeterminate scope. This reservation makes it impossible to determine the amendments proposed to be made to the obligations laid down by the Convention, and prevents the other States Parties to the Convention from knowing the extent to which Pakistan undertakes to accept them. obligations provided for by the Convention. This leads to uncertainty that is unacceptable, particularly in the context of human rights-related treaties.

The Government of Canada makes it clear that the previously stated reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which affect several of the key provisions of the Convention and seek to exclude obligations arising from those provisions, are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and, consequently, contradict the provisions of Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties. The Government of Canada therefore raises an objection to the above reservations made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the integrity of the Convention between Canada and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. "

ITALY.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of Italy has examined the reservations made on 23 June 2010 by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or demeaning in relation to Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16.

The Government of Italy notes that the articles above are subordinated to a general reservation that forwards to the provisions of the existing legislation in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The Italian Government is of the opinion that, in the absence of any other details, these reservations raise doubts as to the willingness of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to respect the object and purpose of the Convention, and wishes to recall that the Customary international law, as codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, does not allow for reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty. It is in the common interest of the States that the object and purpose of the treaties in which they have decided to become Parties are respected by all States, and that the States are prepared to make any necessary legislative changes. to be able to fulfil the obligations incumbent upon them under such treaties.

Consequently, the Government of Italy raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

This objection will not, however, prevent the entry into force of the Convention between Italy and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

BELGIUM.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

" Belgium has carefully examined the reservations made by Pakistan at the time of its accession on 23 June 2010 to the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. This Convention aims to achieve greater effectiveness in the fight against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment at the global level.

The vague and general nature of Pakistan's reservations regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment may contribute to undermining the the basis of international treaties on human rights.

These reservations produce as an effect the subordination of the application of the provisions of the Convention to their compatibility with the Islamic Sharia and/or the legislation in force in Pakistan. This creates uncertainty as to the scope of the obligations of the Convention that Pakistan intends to respect, and raises doubts about Pakistan's respect for the object and purpose of the Convention.

It is in the common interest of the States that all Parties respect the treaties to which they have decided to accede and that the States are prepared to make all necessary legislative changes to be able to satisfy the obligations assumed under the Treaties.

Belgium finds, moreover, that these reserves affect the fundamental provisions of the Convention.

Consequently, Belgium considers that these reserves are incompatible with the object and the purpose of the object.

Belgium recalls that under customary international law, as codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, no reservation is allowed to be incompatible with the object and purpose of the a treaty (Article 19 (c)

.

In addition, Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties prescribes that a Party may not invoke the provisions of its domestic law to justify non-compliance with a treaty.

Consequently, Belgium expresses an objection to the reservations made by Pakistan regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Belgium states that this objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the said Convention between the Kingdom of Belgium and Pakistan. '

LATVIA.

29-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The Government of the Republic of Latvia has carefully examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its ratification in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 28 and 30 of the Convention.

The Government of the Republic of Latvia considers that the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan are aimed at limiting the effects of the implementation of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Government of the Republic of Latvia notes that the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention, which constitute the object and purpose of the Convention, subordinate those provisions to the internal legal system.

The Government of the Republic of Latvia recalls that under Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, a State Party cannot invoke the provisions of its domestic law to justify the non-compliance with an international treaty.

The Government of the Republic of Latvia also recalls that customary international law, as codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, and in particular Article 19 (c) thereof, establishes the prohibition of any reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty.

Therefore, the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan regarding Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention raise the question of whether the Islamic Republic of Pakistan will implement the Convention in accordance with its object and purpose.

Consequently, the Government of the Republic of Latvia raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 of the Convention.

However, this objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Latvia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In this way, the Convention will enter into force without the Islamic Republic of Pakistan being able to assert its reservations.

UNITED KINGDOM.

28-06-2011. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATIONS MADE BY PAKISTAN AT THE TIME OF ITS RATIFICATION.

The United Kingdom Government of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has examined the reservations made by the Government of Pakistan on 23 June 2010 regarding the Convention [against torture and other cruel treatment or punishment, inhumans or demeaning), to which:

1. Article 3-The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that the provisions of Article 3 shall be applied in such a way as to conform to its laws relating to extradition and to foreigners.

2. Article 8-For the purposes of Article 8 (2) of the Convention, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that it does not consider the Convention as a legal basis for cooperation with other States Parties to the Convention. extradition.

3. Articles 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16-The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that the provisions of these Articles shall apply to the extent that they do not contradict the Constitution of Pakistan and Sharia.

4. Article 28-Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 28 of the Convention, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that it does not recognise the competence conferred on the Committee by Article 20.

5. Article 30-The Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is not considered bound by Article 30, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

In the view of the United Kingdom, a reservation must clearly define for the other States Parties to the Convention, to what extent the State that formulates the reservation has accepted the obligations arising out of the Convention. This does not happen in the case of reservations consisting of general references to a constitutional provision, to a law or to a legal system, without specifying its content.

Consequently, the UK Government raises an objection to the reservations made by the Government of Pakistan around Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16.

The United Kingdom will reconsider its position if the Government of Pakistan modifies or withdraws the reservations it has made regarding the Convention.

NORWAY.

" The Government of Norway has examined the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of the ratification of the Convention against Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Government of Norway considers that the reservations made in respect of Articles 3, 4, 6, 12, 13 and 16 are so extensive that they are contrary to the purpose and purpose of the Convention. It therefore raises an objection to the reservations made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without prejudice to the entry into force of the Convention between the Kingdom of Norway and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The Convention shall enter into force between the two States without the Islamic Republic of Pakistan being able to assert the reservations indicated above. '

FINLAND.

27-09-2010. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY BRAZIL AT THE TIME OF ITS ACCESSION.

" The Finnish Government welcomes the accession of Brazil to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and takes note of the reservation in relation to Article 2 of the said Protocol formulated by that State at the time of its accession.

The Finnish Government recalls that the object and purpose of the Second Optional Protocol is the abolition of the death penalty in all circumstances and that, in principle, no reservations are allowed to the Protocol. The aim of the complete abolition of the death penalty is fully supported by Finland. However, the Government notes that the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 2 make it possible to make a reservation which provides for the application of the death penalty in times of war, as a result of a conviction for a crime of a military nature, extreme gravity, committed in time of war. This reservation presupposes, in order to be accepted, that the State Party that the formula communicates to the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization, at the time of ratification or accession, the relevant provisions of its legislation internal war time.

The Finnish Government would therefore consider the reserve formulated by Brazil as acceptable, as it meets the requirements of paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 2. Now, by virtue of the information held by the Government of Finland, the Finnish Government would consider it acceptable. Government, the relevant provisions of the domestic legislation of Brazil have not been communicated to the Secretary General at the time of accession. Consequently, the Finnish Government raises an objection to that reservation. However, should Brazil inform the Secretary-General of the relevant provisions of its domestic law in accordance with Article 2, paragraph 2, this objection shall be considered null and void.

This objection will not prevent the entry into force of the Protocol between Brazil and Finland. The Protocol will therefore produce its effects between the two States without Brazil being able to assert its reservation.

01-11-2010. OBJECTION TO THE DECLARATION MADE BY IRAN (ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF) AT THE TIME OF ITS ACCESSION.

The German Government has carefully examined the declaration made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the time of its accession to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 13 December of 2006.

The Federal Republic of Germany considers that by excluding the application of the provisions of the Convention which may be incompatible with its applicable national laws, the Islamic Republic of Iran makes a reservation which does not clearly state to what extent the Islamic Republic of Iran agrees to be bound by its obligations under the Convention.

The Federal Republic of Germany is opposed to this reservation, which it considers incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and which, accordingly, pursuant to Article 46 (1) of the Convention, is not permitted.

This objection will not, however, be an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

AUSTRIA.

That reservation does not clearly specify, for the other States Parties to the Convention, the extent to which the State that the formula has accepted the obligations imposed on it by the Convention.

In accordance with the provisions of international law, no reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty is permitted.

Consequently, the Portuguese Government raises an objection to the reservation made by the Islamic Republic of Iran on 23 October at the time of its accession to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Consequently, the Latvian Government considers that the declaration constitutes in fact a unilateral act aimed at limiting the scope of the Convention and that it should be considered as a reserve.

22-10-2010. OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY IRAN (ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF) AT THE TIME OF ITS ACCESSION.

Having analyzed the statement made by the Islamic Republic of Iran about the Convention, the United Mexican States have concluded that it is, in fact, a reserve. This reservation, which aims to exclude the legal effects of certain provisions of the Convention, is incompatible with the object and purpose of the instrument. Indeed, the wording of the declaration could impede the application of the provisions of the Convention, in particular Articles 4 and 1, in addition to the provisions of Article 46 of the Convention and Article 19 of the Convention. of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties. It should be specified that Article 27 of the latter Convention codifies the principle of international law according to which a party cannot invoke the provisions of its national law to justify the non-execution of a treaty. In addition, the claim that the internal rules on the treaties in force between the parties prevail cannot be covered.

This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United Mexican States.

The Argentine Republic declares that there are explosive remnants of war in its territory, in the Falkland Islands.

Since that part of the Argentine territory is illegally occupied by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Argentine Republic does not have access to those explosive remnants of war with a view to its withdrawal and destruction.

The United Nations General Assembly has acknowledged the existence of a controversy over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, the South Georgia Islands and the South Sandwich Islands, and has urged the Republic of Argentina and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to continue negotiations in order to achieve as soon as possible a peaceful and definitive settlement of such controversy, through the good offices of the Secretary General of the United Nations, report to the General Assembly on progress made (resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9, 38/12, 39/6/, 40/21, 41/40, 42/19 and 43/25). The Special Committee for Decolonization has expressed the same opinion: it has adopted a resolution, with annual periodicity, in which it declares that the way to put an end to this colonial situation is to find a definitive solution to the controversy on sovereignty in a peaceful and negotiated manner, and in which it calls on the two governments to resume negotiations to that end.

The Republic of Argentina reaffirms its sovereignty rights over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the maritime areas around them, which form an integral part of their territory. national.

NETHERLANDS.

18-10-2010 Statement:

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is currently composed of three parts: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles comprise the islands of Curacao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.

From 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. On that date, the Kingdom will be composed of four parts: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

Curaçao and Sint Maarten will enjoy internal autonomy within the Kingdom, such as Aruba and, until 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles.

These changes constitute an amendment to the internal constitutional relations of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will continue to be the subject of international law with which the agreements will be concluded. In this way, the amendment of the Kingdom's structure will not affect the validity of the international agreements ratified by the Kingdom with respect to the Netherlands Antilles: such agreements, including the reservations that may be made, will continue applying to Curacao and Sint Maarten.

The other islands that have so far been part of the Netherlands Antilles: Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, will be converted into parts of the Netherlands, thus constituting 'the Caribbean part of the Netherlands'. The agreements currently being applied to the Netherlands Antilles will also continue to apply to those islands, but the Government of the Netherlands will be responsible for its implementation at the moment.

With respect to the relationship that exists from the point of view of public law, between the European side of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maartin and the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba), the terms "metropolitan" and "extra metropolitan" mentioned in the Convention lose their initial meaning as regards the Kingdom of the Netherlands and will therefore be considered as meaning respectively "European" and " not ".
