Por ordem superior se torna público ter o Governo da Finlândia efectuado, junto do Secretário-Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 15 de Novembro de 2005, uma objecçáo à reserva formulada pelo Sultanato de Oman aquando da adesáo ao Protocolo Facultativo à Convençáo sobre os Direitos da Criança Relativo à Participaçáo de Crianças em Conflitos Armados.
Notificaçáo
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, acting in his capacity as depositary, communicates the following:
The above action was effected on 15 November 2005.
The Government of Finland has carefully examined the reservations made by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. The Government of Finland notes that the provisions of the Optional Protocol shall, according to the Government of the Sultanate of Oman, be subject to reservations concerning Islamic and domestic law.
The Government of Finland notes that a reservation which consists of a general reference to religious or other national law without specifying its contents does not clearly define to other Parties to the Convention the extent to which the reserving State commits itself to the Convention and creates serious doubts as to the commitment of the receiving State to fulfil its obligations under the Convention.
Such reservations are, furthermore, subject to the general principle of treaty interpretation according to which a party may not invoke the provisions of its domestic law as justification for a failure to perform its treaty obligations.
The Government of Finland therefore objects to the above-mentioned reservations made by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman to the Protocol. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the
5762 Protocol between the Sultanate of Oman and Finland.
The Protocol will thus become operative between the two states without the Sultanate of Oman benefiting from its reservations.
6 December 2005.
