Oman, 11 juni 2003

  • 1. Reservation with respect to Article 8, paragraph 4, the text of which states that each State Party may, consistent with international law, establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in Article 7 when it is involved in international nuclear transport as the exporting or importing State.

  • 2. In accordance with Article 17, paragraph 3 of the Convention, the Sultanate does not consider itself bound by the dispute settlement procedures provided for in Article 17, paragraph 2.

Upon a request by the Secretariat, the following specification of the nature of the reservation made with respect to Article 8, paragraph 4, was received from the Sultanate of Oman:

The reservation made by the Sultanate of Oman to Article 8, paragraph 4 of the Convention is due to the fact that it is inconsistent with the principle of the sovereignty of national jurisdiction, as well as with the principles of international law. This is because it establishes jurisdiction by exporting or importing States over offences committed outside their territories when they are involved in international nuclear transport.

Bezwaar door Noorwegen, 17 oktober 2001

The Government of Norway has examined the contents of the reservation made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan upon accession to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.

According to paragraph 1 of the reservation, Pakistan does not consider itself bound by paragraph 2 of article 2 of the Convention. This paragraph extends the obligation of protection of nuclear material to such material while in domestic use, storage and transport. The provision aims at averting the potential dangers posed by the unlawful taking and use of nuclear material. Norway therefore objects to paragraph 1 of the reservation, as it is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention and thus impermissible according to well established treaty law.

This objection does not preclude the entry into force in its entirety of the Convention between the Kingdom of Norway and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The Convention thus becomes operative between Norway and Pakistan without Pakistan benefiting from the said part of the reservation.

Such interpretation would be incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.

This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Austria and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Bezwaar door Zwitserland, 19 oktober 2001

The Government of Switzerland has carefully examined the declaration made by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan at the time of its accession to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, regarding article 2, paragraph 2 of this Convention.

The name assigned to a statement whereby the legal effect of certain provisions of a treaty is excluded or modified does not determine its status as a reservation to the treaty.

According to international law a reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty is not permitted.

  • 1. The Republic of Azerbaijan declares that the provisions of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material shall not be applied by the Republic of Azerbaijan in respect of the Republic of Armenia.

  • 2. The Republic of Azerbaijan declares that it is unable to guarantee the implementation of the provisions of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material in its territories occupied by the Republic of Armenia (the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan and its seven districts surrounding that region), until the liberation of those territories from the occupation and complete elimination of the consequences of that occupation (the schematic map of the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan is enclosed).

België, 22 januari 2013

Referring to Article 2A of the protocol to amend the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, the Belgian Government declares that it interprets the fundamental principles of physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities contained in paragraph 3 of Article 2A as guidelines which the State Party must apply in implementing the obligations of paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 2A.

Canada, 3 december 2013

The Government of Canada considers the application of Article 7(1)(k) of the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, as amended by the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, to be limited to acts committed in furthering a conspiracy of two or more persons to commit a specific criminal offence contemplated in paragraphs 1 (a) to (g) of Article 7 of the amended Convention.
