Parties with reservations, declarations and objections
Georgia
22-05-2003
Georgia declares, that until the full jurisdiction of Georgia is restored on the territories of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region, it cannot be held liable for the violations on these territories of the provisions of Protocol No. 13.
Moldova
18-10-2006
Moldova declares that, until the full re-establishment of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova, the provisions of the Protocol shall be applied only on the territory controlled effectively by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
Spain
16-12-2009
If this Convention were to be extended by the United Kingdom to Gibraltar, Spain would
like to make the following declaration:
1. Gibraltar is a non-autonomous territory whose international relations come under
the responsibility of the United Kingdom and which is subject to a decolonisation
process in accordance with the relevant decisions and resolutions of the General Assembly
of the United Nations.
2. The authorities of Gibraltar have a local character and exercise exclusively internal
competences which have their origin and their foundation in a distribution and attribution
of competences performed by the United Kingdom in compliance with its internal legislation,
in its capacity as sovereign State on which the mentioned non-autonomous territory
depends.
3. As a result, the eventual participation of the Gibraltarian authorities in the
application of this Protocol will be understood as carried out exclusively as part
of the internal competences of Gibraltar and cannot be considered to modify in any
way what was established in the two previous paragraphs.
