Argentina

14-03-1990

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland having proceeded to ratification of the Additional Protocols to the Warsaw Convention of 1929, adopted in Montreal (Canada) in 1975, the Argentine Republic rejects the said ratification inasmuch as it is made in the name of the 'Malvinas Islands and of their Dependencies', and reaffirms its sovereign right over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands which are an integral part of its national territory.
The General Assembly of the United Nations has adopted Resolutions 2065/XX/, 3160/XXVIII/, 31/49, 38/12 and 39/6 in which it recognizes the existence of a dispute relating to the question of the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands and urges the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to resume as soon as possible their negotiations with a view to seeking by peaceful means a definitive solution to their dispute and to the other differences relating to the said question, through the good offices of the Secretary-General of the Organization who is to report on the progress achieved.
The Argentine Republic at the same time rejects the ratification referred to in the preceding paragraph inasmuch as it is made in the name of the 'British Antarctic Territory', and reaffirms that it does not accept any denomination which would attribute as belonging to another State, or which would admit thereof, the sector extending between longitude 25? West and longitude 74? West and between latitude 60? South and the South Pole over which the Argentine Republic exercises its sovereignty since this sector is an integral part of its territory.

Objection United Kingdom, 15-02-1996

In reference to the declaration made by the Argentine Republic when depositing the instruments of ratification of Protocols Nos. 1, 2 and 3 as well as Montreal Protocol No. 4, signed at Montreal on 25 September 1975, the position of the United Kingdom is well known and remains unchanged. The United Kingdom has no doubt of its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and its incontestable right to apply the treaties thereto. As for the part of the declaration concerning the British Antarctic Territory, the Embassy recalls the contents of the Antarctic Treaty and particularly the provisions of Article IV of the said Treaty . . . .

Cuba

21-04-1998

The Government of the Republic of Cuba declares, in conformity with paragraph 4 of the new Article 22 of the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules relating to International Carriage by Air, signed at Warsaw on 12 October 1929, amended by Additional Protocol No. 1 (Montreal, 1975), that since this State is not a member of the International Monetary Fund, the provisions contained in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 will not be applied in judicial proceedings in its territory and that instead of these, a limit of liability of the carrier will be fixed in the amount of 125 000 monetary units per passenger in relation to paragraph 1 of Article 22; 250 monetary units per kilo in relation to paragraph 2 of Article 22 and 5 000 monetary units per passenger in relation to paragraph 3. The contents of the last paragraph of item 4 of Article II of Additional Protocol No. 1 will be applied to this monetary unit.
