Objections

16 December 1998

With regard to the reservation made by Viet Nam upon accession:

“Austria is of the view that the reservation raises doubts as to its compatibility with the object and purpose of the Convention concerned, in particular the fundamental principle that perpetrators of drug-related crime should be brought to justice, regardless of their whereabouts. Non-acceptance of this principle would undermine the effectiveness of the above-mentioned Convention.

Austria therefore objects to the reservation. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the above-mentioned Convention between Austria and Viet Nam."

OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION CONTAINED IN THE COMMUNICATION BY THE PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BOLIVIA

The Secretary-General of the United Nati
ons, acting in his capacity as depositary,communicates the following:

The above action was effected on 3 July 2012.

“The United States Mission to the United Nations presents its compliments to the United
Nations and refers to the Secretary-General’s note C.N.829.2011.TREATIES-28 (DepositaryNotification), dated January 10, 2012, which communicated that the Secretary-General had received
from the Plurinational State of Bolivia an instrume
nt of accession to the Single Convention on Narcotic
Drugs, 1961, as amended (the Convention), with a proposed reservation submitted in accordance with Article 50, paragraph 3 of the Convention.
The Mission informs the United Nations that the United States objects to the proposed reservation. The United States considers the Convention to be one of the cornerstones of international
efforts to prevent the illicit production, manufacture, traffic in and abuse of drugs, while ensuring that licit drugs are available for medical and scientific
purposes. The United States is concerned that Bolivia's reservation is likely to lead to a greater supply of available coca, and as a result, more cocaine
will be available for the global cocaine market, further fueling narcotics trafficking and related criminal activities in Bolivia and the countries along the cocaine trafficking route.
The United States welcomes Bolivia's renewed commitment to continue to take all necessary legal measures to control the illicit cultivation of coca in order to prevent its abuse and the illicit production of the narcotic drugs which may be extracted from the leaf.

Should Bolivia’s reservation be deemed to be permitted in accordance with Article 50,
paragraph 3 of the Convention, this objection would not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between the United States and Bolivia, but the United States would not assume toward Bolivia any legal obligation under the Convention that is affected by the reservation.”

Objection to Bolivia's reservation

“The Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honor to refer to the Secretary-General Depositary Notification dated 29 June 2011 (C.N. 421.2011.TREATIES-26), which communicated the denunciation by Bolivia of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961.
Italy praises the efforts by Bolivia to reduce the production and trade of illicit coca products. Italy fully respects the cultural identity and traditions of Indigenous Populations, guaranteed by the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. However, Italy believes that the dialogue aimed at further promoting the respect of Indigenous traditions should be fully coherent with and preserve the integrity of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
States that are a Party to the Single Convention undertake an obligation to limit the trade and use of narcotic drugs exclusively for medical and scientific purposes. States Parties also recognize that measures against abuse of narcotic drugs require coordinated and universal action. Schedule I to the Single Convention lists coca leaf as a narcotic drug.

Italy is therefore of the opinion that, in proposing reservations, States Parties should be guided by the object and purpose of the Single Convention. The Bolivian approach poses the risk of creating a precedent and may undermine the international anti-narcotics legal framework. This would send a negative signal, out of step with the actions undertaken so far in the fight against drug trafficking and drug use.
Moreover, the procedure applied by Bolivia - denunciation and rejoin with reservation of the 1961 Convention - is contrary to the principle of "good faith" under article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, since it appears directed to avoid the limits established in article 49 and 50 of the Single Convention.
In light of these considerations, the Government of Italy hereby informs the Secretary-General in accordance with Article 50, paragraph 3 of the Single Convention, that it objects to the proposed reservation by Bolivia of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and requests that the Secretary- General inform States Parties to the Single Convention accordingly.”

Objections

17 December 1998

With regard to the reservation to article 36 (2)(b) made by Viet Nam upon accession:

“The United Kingdom is not in a position to accept [the] reservation."

The above objection is not however to constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the said [Convention] as between Vietnam and the United Kingdom.”

Objection to the reservation made by Bolivia


“The United Kingdom Mission to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations acting in his capacity as treaty depository and refers to his note C.N.829.2011.TREATIES-28 (Depositary Notification) of 10 January 2012, which outlined that an instrument of accession to the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs had been received from the Plurinational State of Bolivia with a proposed reservation submitted in accordance with Article 50, paragraph 3 of the Convention.
The United Kingdom acknowledges and respects the cultural importance of the coca leaf in Bolivia. The United Kingdom also understands that the Bolivian government considers it an integral part of Bolivian heritage and that the use of coca for traditional purposes has been established as a cultural right in the Constitution of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. The United Kingdom also welcomes the recent reductions in coca production in Bolivia, as outlined in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime 2011 National Coca Monitoring Survey.
The United Kingdom is, however, concerned that the reservation could lead to increases in coca production and –crucially- the amount of coca diverted to the cocaine trade. As such, the reservation would weaken international law as it relates to the global effort to tackle the drugs trade and could weaken the international community’s response to that trade. Therefore, the United Kingdom objects to the proposed reservation and requests that the Secretary-General inform States Parties to the Single Convention accordingly.”

Objections

14 December 1998

With regard to the reservation made by Viet Nam upon accession:

“The Government of Sweden is of the view that the reservation made by the Government of Viet Nam regarding article 36, paragraph 2 subparagraph (b) may raise doubts as to the commitment of Viet Nam to the object and purpose of the Convention.

...

It is in the common interest of States that treaties to which they have chosen to become parties are respected as to their object and purpose by all parties, and that States are prepared to undertake any legislative changes necessary to comply with their obligations under the treaties.

Furthermore, according to the Vienna Convention on the law of Treaties of 23 May 1969, and well-established customary international law, a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the treaty shall not be permitted.

The Government of Sweden therefore objects to the aforesaid [reservation] by the Government of Viet Nam.

[This objection does] not preclude the entry into force of the [Convention] between Viet Nam and Sweden. The [Convention] will thus become operative berween the two States without Viet Nam benefiting from the [reservation].”


Objection to Bolivia's reservation

“The Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations acting in his capacity as treaty deposit[a]ry and has the honor to refer to the Secretary-General's note C.N.829.2011.TREATIES-28 (Depositary Notification), dated January 10, 2012, which communicated that the Secretary-General has received from the Plurinational State of Bolivia an instrument of accession to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, as amended (the Convention), with a proposed reservation submitted in accordance with Article 50, paragraph 3 of the Convention.
The Government of Sweden fully recognizes the efforts of the Plurinational State of Bolivia to reduce the production and trade in illicit coca products. Sweden also understands the concerns that the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia has expressed concerning the United Nations' drug control conventions and the traditional coca leaf chewing.

The United Nations' drug control conventions are the corner stones of the international legal framework for the fight against drugs. An exemption for coca leaf chewing and the growing of coca plants for this purpose risks to undermine this system and to weaken the control over cocaine production. Furthermore, the ambition expressed in the convention is the successive prohibition also of traditional uses of drugs, the chewing of coca leaves being explicitly mentioned.
The Government of Sweden has serious concerns regarding the procedure followed by the Plurinational State of Bolivia with denunciation of the Convention followed by immediate re-accession with a reservation. While article 46 of the Convention provides that any Party may denounce the Convention, the denunciation should in no case be used by a State Party for the sole purpose of formulating reservations to the Convention after re-accession. Such practice would constitute a misuse of the procedure and would undermine the basis of international treaty law and the international legal framework for the fight against drugs.
For these reasons the Government of Sweden objects to the proposed reservation by the Plurinational State of Bolivia.”
