Verklaringen, voorbehouden en bezwaren

Koeweit, 29 juni 1979

It is understood that the accession of the State of Kuwait to […] the Protocol of 1978 [relating to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974] done at London on the 17th February 1978, does not in any way mean recognition of Israel by the State of Kuwait. Furthermore, no treaty relations will arise between the State of Kuwait and Israel.

Mededeling van Israël, 3 december 1979

The instrument of accession deposited by the Government of the State of Kuwait was accompanied by a statement of a political character in respect of Israel. In the view of the Government of Israel, this Convention is not the proper place for making such political pronouncements. Moreover, the said declaration cannot in any way affect whatever obligations are binding upon Kuwait under general international law or under particular conventions. The Government of Israel will, so far as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Government of the State of Kuwait an attitude of complete reciprocity.

G. INWERKINGTREDING

Zie Trb. 1981, 16 en rubriek J van Trb. 1985, 156 en Trb. 1996, 223.

Wat betreft het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, geldt het Protocol, dat vanaf 1 januari 1986 voor Nederland (het Europese deel), de Nederlandse Antillen en Aruba gold, vanaf 10 oktober 2010 voor Nederland (het Europese en het Caribische deel), Aruba, Curaçao en Sint Maarten.
