Republic of China will not recognize as valid a request by the Detaining Power of

Article 10
The Council of State of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau does not recognize as legal

agreed to that request.
Article 13
The Council of State of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau does not recognize the 'conditions'
provided for in subparagraph (2) of this article concerning members of other militias
and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements,

Bezwaar Duitsland, 03-03-1975
Objection to the reservation made upon accession by Guinea-Bissau to the Geneva Convention
I, concerning Article 13 (2)
[...].exceed, in the opinion of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany,
the purpose and intent of these Conventions and are therefore unacceptable to it.
This declaration shall not otherwise affect the validity of the said Geneva Conventions
under international law as between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic
of Guinea-Bissau.
Bezwaar Verenigde Staten van Amerika, 04-03-1975
The reservations are similar to reservations expressed by others previously with respect
to the same or different conventions and concerning which the Government of the United
States has previously declared its views. The attitude of the Government of the United
States with respect to all the reservations by the Republic of Guinea-Bissau parallels
its attitude toward such other reservations. The Government of the United States,
while rejecting the reservations, accepts treaty relations with the Republic of Guinea-Bissau.
Bezwaar Verenigd Koninkrijk, 19-11-1975
[...] the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
recalling their declaration on ratification in relation to similar reservations by
other States, wish to state that, whilst they do not oppose the entry into force of
the Convention in question between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Guinea-Bissau,
they are unable to accept the above-mentioned reservation because, in the view of
the Government of the United Kingdom, these reservations are not of the kind which
intending Parties to the Convention are entitled to make.
The Government of the United Kingdom wish also to place on record that they take the
same view of the similar reservations made by the Swiss Minister in London on 8 January
1957, and by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, notified by the Swiss Ambassador
in London on 24 August 1957.
In relation to the reservation made by the Republic of Guinea-Bissau [...] to Article
13 of the Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick
in Armed Forces in the Field [...], the Government of the United Kingdom wish to state
that they are likewise unable to accept those reservations.

The Government of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen declares that the accession
of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen to this Conventions by no means implies

Bezwaar Israël, 10-02-1978
The Government of Israel takes note that by declarations […] the Popular Democratic
Republic of Yemen adhered to the four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 relating
to the protection of war victims.
The said instruments were accompanied by a declaration of a political character in
respect to Israel. In the view of the Government of Israel, this is not the proper
place for making such political pronouncements, which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction
to the principles, objects and purposes of the said Conventions. The said declaration
cannot in any way affect whatever obligations are binding upon the Popular Democratic
Republic of Yemen under general international law or under particular treaties.
Koeweit

the basis of strict reciprocity with regard to issues that are subject to these Conventions.
