It is understood that Accession to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation done at Montreal 1971, does not mean in any way recognition of Israel by the State of Kuwait. Furthermore, no treaty relation will arise between the State of Kuwait and

Israel.

Bezwaar Israël, 26 juni 1980

The Government of Israel takes note that an instrument of accession to the Convention for the Sup- pression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at Montreal on 23 September 1971, was deposited with the Secretary of State by the Government of Kuwait.

The instrument deposited by the Government of Kuwait contains a statement of a political character in respect to Israel. In the view of the Government of Israel, this is not the proper place for making such political pronouncements which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the principles, objects and purposes of the Convention. That pronouncement by the Government of Kuwait cannot in any way affect whatever obligations under particular treaties.

The Government of Israel will, insofar as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Gov- ernment of Kuwait an attitude of complete reciprocity.

Oekraïne, 15 oktober 2015

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine presents its compliments to Governments of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America and the Russian Federation, as the Deposi- taries of the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft of 16 December 1970 and the Con- vention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation of 23 September 1971 (here- inafter referred to as the “Conventions”)and has the honour to inform of the following.

In February 2014 the Russian Federation launched armed aggression against Ukraine and occupied a part of the territory of Ukraine – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, and today exercises effective control over certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine. These actions are in gross violation of the Charter of the United Nations and constitute a threat to international peace and secur- ity. The Russian Federation, as the Aggressor State and Occupying Power, bears full responsibility for its actions and their consequences under international law.

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/68/262 of 27 March 2014 confirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The United Nations also called upon all States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to recognize any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

In this regard, Ukraine states that from 20 February 2014 and for the period of temporary occupation by the Russian Federation of a part of the territory of Ukraine – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol – as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation committed against Ukraine and until the complete restoration of the constitutional law and order and effective control by Ukraine over such occupied territory, as well as over certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine as a result of the aggression of the Russian Federation, the applica- tion and implementation by Ukraine of the obligations under the above Conventions, as applied to the afore- mentioned occupied and uncontrolled territory of Ukraine, is limited and is not guaranteed.

Documents or requests made or issued by the occupying authorities of the Russian Federation, its officials at any level in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and by the illegal authorities in certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine, are null and void and have no legal effect regardless of whether they are presented directly or indi- rectly through the authorities of the Russian Federation.

The provisions of the Conventions regarding the possibility of direct communication or interaction do not apply to the territorial organs of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as well as in certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine. The procedure of the relevant communication is determined by the central authorities of Ukraine in Kyiv.

Therefore, the Ukrainian Side would be grateful if the Governments of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America and the Russian Federation, as the Depositaries of the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft of 16 December 1970 and the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation of 23 September 1971, would circulate this notification on the specifics of the territorial application and implementation of the above Conventions in Ukraine among all the Contracting States to those Conventions.

Bezwaar Israël, 11 januari 1979

The Government of Israel takes note that an instrument of accession to the Convention for the Sup- pression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at Montreal on 23 September 1971, was deposited with the Secretary of State by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman.

The instrument deposited by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman contains a statement of a politi- cal character in respect to Israel. In the view of the Government of Israel, this is not the proper place for making such political pronouncements which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the princi- ples, objects and purposes of the Convention. That pronouncement by the Government of the Sultan- ate of Oman cannot in any way affect whatever obligations are binding upon Oman under general international law or under particular treaties.

The Government of Israel will, insofar as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Gov- ernment of the Sultanate of Oman an attitude of complete reciprocity.

disputes concerning the interpretation or application of the Convention may be submitted to the International Court of Justice only with the agreement of all the parties to the dispute in each individual case.

In addition the Government of [the Socialist Republic of] Romania declared on signature [red. 23-09-1971] that they considered “null and void the signing at Montreal of the Convention for the Suppression of Unlaw- ful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation by the so-called Chiang-Kai-Shek authorities, as the only Govern- ment entitled to assume obligations on behalf of China and to represent it on the international plane is the Government of the People’s Republic of China.

Russische Federatie, 19 februari 1973

Bezwaar Italië, 21 november 1985

The Government of Italy does not consider as valid the reservation formulated by the Government of the Republic of Venezuela due to the fact that it may be considered as aiming to limit the obligation under Article 7 of the Convention to submit the case against an offender to the competent authorities of the State for the purpose of prosecution.

Bezwaar Verenigd Koninkrijk, 6 augustus 1985

The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland do not regard as valid the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Venezuela insofar as it purports to limit the obligation under Article 7 of the Convention to submit the case against an offender to the competent authorities of the State for the purpose of prosecution.

Venezuela, 21 november 1985

In reference to the notification made by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and North- ern Ireland regarding the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Venezuela as not valid, the Embassy of Venezuela would like to inform the following:

“The reserve made by the Government of Venezuela to Articles 4, 7 and 8 of the Convention is based on the fact that the principle of asylum is contemplated in Article 116 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ven- ezuela. Article 116 reads:

‘The Republic grants asylum to any person subject to persecution or which finds itself in danger, for political reasons, within the conditions and requirements established by the laws and norms of international law’. “It is for this reason that the Government of Venezuela considers that in order to protect this right, which would be diminished by the application without limits of the said articles, it was necessary to request the for- mulation of the declaration contemplated in Art. 2 of the Law approving the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Security of Civil Aviation.

Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, 10 april 1981

In accepting the said Convention, the Government of the United Arab Emirates takes the view that its accept- ance of the said Convention does not in any way imply its recognition of Israel, nor does it oblige it to apply the provisions of the Convention in respect of the said Country.

Bezwaar Israël, 5 januari 1982

The Government of Israel takes note that an instrument of accession to the Convention for the Sup- pression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at Montreal on 23 September 1971, was received from the Government of the United Arab Emirates and placed in the archives of Her Maj- esty’s Government on 14 April 1981.

The instrument deposited by the Government of the United Arab Emirates contains a statement of a political character in respect to Israel. In the view of the Government of Israel, this is not the proper place for making such political pronouncements which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the principles, objects and purposes of the Convention. This statement by the Government of the United Arab Emirates cannot, in any way, affect whatever obligations are binding upon the United Arab Emir- ates under general international law or under particular conventions.

The Government of Israel will, insofar as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Gov- ernment of the United Arab Emirates an attitude of complete reciprocity.
