Nederlanden, het Koninkrijk der, 18 oktober 2010

The Kingdom of the Netherlands consisted of three parts: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles consisted of the islands of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.

With effect from 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Since that date, the Kingdom consists of four parts: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Curaçao and Sint Maarten enjoy internal self-government within the Kingdom, as Aruba and, up to 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles do.

These changes constitute a modification of the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will accordingly remain the subject of international law with which agreements are concluded. The modification of the structure of the Kingdom will therefore not affect the validity of the international agreements ratified by the Kingdom for the Netherlands Antilles. These agreements, including any reservations made, will continue to apply to Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

The other islands that have formed part of the Netherlands Antilles – Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba – became part of the Netherlands, thus constituting “the Caribbean part of the Netherlands”. The agreements that applied to the Netherlands Antilles will also continue to apply to these islands; however, the Government of the Netherlands will now be responsible for implementing these agreements.

Nederlanden, het Koninkrijk der, 25 juli 2012

The reservation and declaration [of 12 December 1980] are confirmed for Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean part of the Netherlands (the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba).

The reservation and declaration remain valid for the European part of the Netherlands and Aruba.

Noorwegen, 13 juli 1976

With the reservation provided for in Article 26, paragraph 1, sub 2.

Noorwegen, 12 april 1978

In conformity with Article 34, the Government of Norway reserves the right provided for in Article 26, paragraph 1 No 2 not to recognise or enforce decisions and settlements relating to maintenance obligations between persons related collatorally and between persons related by affinity.

Oekraïne, 3 april 2007

In accordance with Article 25 of the Convention Ukraine declares that it shall extend the provisions of this Convention over official documents determined by the Convention to the extent that the provisions of the Convention can be applied to such documents.

In accordance with Article 26 of the Convention Ukraine shall reserve the right not to recognise or not to implement decisions or agreements concerning obligations on keeping among persons who are non-direct relatives and among persons who are relatives on the part of the husband or wife, except cases in which the appropriate obligations on keeping would exist in accordance with the national legislation of Ukraine.

Polen, 14 februari 1995

Reservation referred to in Article 26(3) of the Convention on the recognition and enforcement of decisions relating to maintenance obligations, concluded on October 2nd, 1973.

The Republic of Poland, in accordance with Article 34, reserves the right not to recognize or enforce a decision or settlement unless it provides for a periodical payment of maintenance.

Tsjechië, 1 januari 1993

The Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia, referring to the Convention on the recognition and enforcement of decisions relating to maintenance obligations, concluded at The Hague on 2 October 1973, reserves the right in accordance with Article 34 of that Convention not to recognise or enforce the decisions and settlements relating to the maintenance obligations described in Article 26, para 2 (a) and (b), since Czechoslovak Law does not recognise maintenance obligations between the persons mentioned therein.

At the same time, the Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia wishes to state, in connection with Article 32 of the Convention according to all States the right to declare that the Convention shall be applicable to all territories for the international relations of which it is responsible, that keeping certain countries in a state of dependence is in its opinion contrary to the spirit and objectives of the United Nations Declaration of 14 December 1960 on the granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples, which declares the necessity for a speedy and unconditional end to colonialism in all its forms.

Turkije, 23 augustus 1983
