Parties with reservations, declarations and objections
Denmark
22-07-2016
The Government of the Kingdom of Denmark declares that until further notice the Protocol shall not apply to the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Spain
20-09-2018
The Permanent Representation of Spain to the Council of Europe has the honour to communicate
that if the Protocol No. 15 amending the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights
and Fundamental Freedoms (CETS No. 213) were to be ratified by the United-Kingdom
and extended 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.
4. The process provided for by the Arrangements relating to Gibraltar authorities
in the context of certain international treaties which have been adopted by Spain
and the United Kingdom on 19 December 2007 (jointly with the "Agreed Arrangements
relating to Gibraltar authorities in the context of EU and EC instruments and related
treaties", dated 19 April 2000) apply to this Protocol No. 15 amending the Convention
for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
5. The application of this Protocol to Gibraltar should not be interpreted as an acknowledgment
of any right or any situation regarding areas not covered by Article X of the Treaty
of Utrecht of 13 July 1713, concluded between the Crowns of Spain and of the United
Kingdom.
