Aviso n. 108/2008

Por ordem superior se torna público ter o Governo do Reino de Espanha efectuado, junto do Secretário -Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 9 de Outubro de 2001, uma objecçáo à

reserva formulada pelo Governo da Botswana, no momento da adesáo, ao artigo n. 7 do Pacto Internacional sobre os Direitos Civis e Políticos, adoptado em Nova Iorque, em 16 de Dezembro de 1966, adiante denominado o Pacto.

Notificaçáo

The Government of the Kingdom of Spain has examined the reservation made on 16 December 2000 by the Government of the Republic of Botswana to article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which makes its adherence to that article conditional by referring to the current content of Botswana's domestic legislation.

The Government of the Kingdom of Spain considers that this reservation, by referring to domestic law, affects one of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Covenant (prohibition of torture, right to physical integrity), from which no derogation is permitted under article 4, paragraph 2, of the Covenant. The Government of Spain also considers that the presentation of a reservation referring to domestic legislation, in the absence of further clarifications, raises doubts as to the degree of commitment assumed by the Republic of Botswana in becoming a party to the Covenant.

Accordingly, the Government of the Kingdom of Spain objects to the above -mentioned reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Botswana to article 7 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966.

This objection does not prevent the entry into force of the Covenant between the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of Botswana.
