in Article XI of the International Plant Protection Convention are contrary to the

Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514 of 14 December 1960) which proclaims the
necessity of bringing to a speedy and unconditional end colonialism in all forms and
manifestations.
Reservation

in Article IX, believing that any differences in interpretation or implementation
of the convention between parties must be solved by direct negotiation through diplomatic

(a) The cabinet of the Socialist Republic of Romania considers the continued status
of dependence of certain territories referred to in the provisions of Article XI of
the Convention incompatible with the Charter of the United Nations or other instruments
adopted by the United Nations on the granting of independence to colonial countries
and peoples, including the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning
Friendly Relations and cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of
the United Nations, unanimously adopted by Resolution 2625 (XXV) of 24 October 1970
of the General Assembly of the United Nations which solemnly proclaims that 'every
State has the duty to promote realization of the principle of equal rights and self-determination
of peoples' in order to put an end to colonialism quickly.
(b) The Government of the Socialist Republic of Romania considers the accession of
the 'Republic of Korea' to the International Plant Protection Convention concluded
in Rome on 6 December 1951 illegal because the authorities of South Korea cannot under
any circumstances act in the name of Korea.
