Aviso n. 74/2008
Por ordem superior se torna público ter a República da Letónia efectuado, junto do Secretário -Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 30 de Setembro de 2005, uma objecçáo à declaraçáo formulada pela República Árabe Síria no momento da adesáo à Convençáo Internacional para a Eliminaçáo do Financiamento do Terrorismo, adoptada em Nova Iorque em 9 de Dezembro de 1999.Notificaçáo
The Government of the Republic of Latvia has examined the reservation made by the Syrian Arab Republic to the International Convention of the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism upon accession to the Convention regarding article 2 paragraph 1 (b) thereof.
The Government of the Republic of Latvia is of the opinion that this reservation unilaterally limits the scope of the Convention and is thus in contradiction to the objectives and purposes of the Convention to suppress the financing of terrorist acts wherever and by whomsoever they may be carried out.
Moreover, the Government of the Republic of Latvia considers that the reservation conflicts with the terms of article 6 of the Convention setting out the obligation for State Parties to adopt such measures as may be necessary to ensure that criminal acts within the scope of the Convention are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or similar nature.
The Government of the Republic of Latvia recalls that customary international law as codified by Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and in particular article 19 (c), sets out that reservations that are incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty are not permissible.
The Government of the Republic of Latvia therefore objects to the aforesaid reservation made by the Syrian Arab Republic to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.
However, this objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Latvia and the Syrian Arab Republic. Thus, the Convention will become operative without the Syrian Arab Republic benefiting from its reservation.
