On 11 October 2013, Switzerland lodged the following objection with the Secretary-General of the United Nations:
The Swiss Federal Council considered the reservation formulated by the Republic of Namibia upon accession to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism of 9 December 1999, according to which a fight conducted in accordance with the Principles of international law for the liberation of peoples or their right to self-determination, including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression and domination by foreign forces, should not be considered As a terrorist act.
The Federal Council considers that the reservation has limited the scope of the Convention to the extent that the definition of acts of terrorism of the Convention is limited. The Federal Council is of the opinion that the exercise of the right of peoples to self-determination cannot be justified in any way to justify such acts. Consequently, the reservation is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.
It is in the common interest of the States that the instruments to which they have chosen to become parties are respected in their object and in their aim by all parties and that States are prepared to amend their legislation in order to Their treaty obligations. The Swiss Federal Council considers that a reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention is invalid and does not have any legal effect.
The Swiss Federal Council objects to the reservation of the Republic of Namibia. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Convention, in its entirety, between Switzerland and the Republic of Namibia.
