Bezwaar Finland, 12-03-2025
The Government of the Republic of Finland was pleased to learn that the Kingdom of
Bhutan has become party to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(hereinafter ‘the Convention’). However, the Government of the Republic of Finland
has carefully examined the reservations made by the Kingdom of Bhutan upon ratification
of the Convention and is of the view that they raise certain concerns. The Government
of the Republic of Finland considers that paragraph 1(a) and paragraph 2 of Article
18, paragraphs 1(b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraph 1(c) of Article 27, and section
(a) (ii) of Article 29 concern fundamental principles of the Convention, and excluding
the application of these provisions is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention.
Accordingly, the reservations made by the Kingdom of Bhutan are not permitted under
Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention and Article 19 of the Vienna Convention
on the Law of Treaties. Therefore, the Government of the Republic of Finland objects
to the reservations. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the
Convention between the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Bhutan. The Convention
will thus continue to operate between the two States without the Kingdom of Bhutan
benefiting from the said reservations.

Bezwaar Malta, 13-03-2025
The Government of the Republic of Malta has carefully examined the reservations made
by the Kingdom of Bhutan upon ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (the “Convention”), regarding paragraph l (a) and paragraph 2 of
Article 18, paragraphs l (b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraph l (c) of Article 27,
and section (a)(ii) of Article 29 of the Convention. The Government of the Republic
of Malta considers that, contrary to the purpose of the Convention, “to promote, protect
and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms
by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity”,
this reservation restricts the full and equal enjoyment by persons with disabilities
of certain human rights and fundamental freedoms outlined in the Convention. The Republic
of Malta objects to the reservation as being incompatible with the object and purpose
of the Convention, and consequently impermissible pursuant to Article 46(1) of the
Convention and Article 19 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This objection
shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of
Malta and the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Polen, 12-03-2025
The Government of the Republic of Poland has examined the reservation by the Kingdom
of Bhutan to the paragraph 1 (a) and paragraph 2 of Article 18, paragraphs 1 (b) and
(c) or Article 23, paragraph 1 (c) of Article 27, and section (a) (ii) of Article
29 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities done in New York on
December 13, 2006, made upon its ratification on march 13, 2024. The Government of
the Republic of Poland considers that the reservation made by the Kingdom of Bhutan
according to which it does not consider itself bound by paragraph 1 (a) and paragraph
2 of Article 18, paragraphs 1 (b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraph 1 (c) of Article
27, and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and
therefore objects to it. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of
the Convention between the Republic of Poland and the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Verenigd Koninkrijk, 12-03-2025
The Government of the United Kingdom has examined the reservations made by the Kingdom
of Bhutan, upon its ratification of the Convention, which read: Reservations ‘The
Kingdom of Bhutan does not consider itself bound by paragraph 1(a) and paragraph 2
of Article 18, paragraphs 1(b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraphs 1(c) of Article 27
and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities.’ The purpose of the Convention, as set out in Article
1(1), is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human
rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect
for their inherent dignity. The United Kingdom considers that the reservations made
by the Kingdom of Bhutan are contrary to this purpose as they restrict the full and
equal enjoyment by persons with disabilities of certain human rights and fundamental
freedoms covered by the Convention. The United Kingdom accordingly objects to the
reservations as being incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.
They are neither permitted under Article 46(1) of the Convention, nor Article 19 of
the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties. This objection shall not prevent the
entry into force of the Convention as between the Kingdom of Bhutan and the United
Kingdom.

Bezwaar Duitsland, 10-03-2025
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has carefully examined the declaration
made by the Kingdom of Bhutan upon ratification of the CRPD on 13 March 2024. The
Government of the Federal Republic of Germany is of the opinion that the declaration
constitutes a reservation insofar as it states that paragraph 1 (a) and paragraph
2 of Article 18, paragraph 1 (b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraph 1 (c) of Article
27 and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the Convention are not considered binding.
Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 46 of the Convention, reservations are only permitted
if they are not incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention. The articles
referred to relate to uniformly important rights of people with disabilities, such
as protection from arbitrary deprivation of nationality, the rights of newborn children
with disabilities, equality with regard to family matters and family planning, equality
and participation in the labour market, and enjoyment of political rights, in particular
their right to vote and to stand for election. Each of these provisions relates to
the purpose of the Convention, set out in paragraph 1 of Article 1, to promote, protect
and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms
by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity.
The reservation made by the Kingdom of Bhutan is thus inconsistent with the stated
guiding principles of the Convention and incompatible with its object and purpose.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany therefore considers that the reservation
is not permitted under Article 46 of the Convention and hereby objects to it. This
objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the CRPD between the Federal
Republic of Germany and the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Nederlanden, het Koninkrijk der, 11-03-2025
The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has carefully examined the reservation
made by the Kingdom of Bhutan on 13 March 2024 upon ratification of the United Nations
Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. The Government of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands notes that the Kingdom of Bhutan does not consider itself bound
by paragraph 1(a) and paragraph 2 of Article 18, paragraphs 1(b) and (c) of Article
23, paragraph 1(c) of Article 27, and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the Convention.
The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands considers that such a reservation,
which seeks to limit the responsibilities of the reserving State under the Convention,
raises doubts as to the commitment of that State to the object and purpose of the
Convention. The reservation excludes the application of many essential rights covered
by the Convention and thereby restricts the full and equal enjoyment by persons with
disabilities of those rights. The reservation is therefore incompatible with the Convention’s
object and purpose. Moreover, article 46 of the Convention explicitly states that
reservations incompatible with its object and purpose shall not be permitted. The
Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands recalls that, according to article 46
of the Convention and according to customary international law as codified in article
19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, reservations incompatible
with the object and purpose of a Convention are not permissible. The Government of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands therefore objects to the reservation of the Kingdom
of Bhutan to the Convention. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force
of the Convention between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Noorwegen, 11-03-2025
The Government of Norway has carefully examined the reservation made by the Government
of the Kingdom of Bhutan upon ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities of 13 December 2006, in which ‘[t]he Kingdom of Bhutan does not
consider itself bound by paragraph 1(a) and paragraph 2 of Article 18, paragraphs
1(b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraphs 1(c) of Article 27, and section (a) (ii) of
Article 29 of the United Nations Convention on [the] Rights of Persons with Disabilities.’
The Government of Norway is of the opinion that paragraph 1(a) and paragraph 2 of
Article 18, paragraphs 1(b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraphs 1(c) of Article 27,
and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities, are related to fundamental principles of the Convention. The Government
of Norway considers that the exclusion of the application of these provisions is contrary
to the object and purpose of the Convention, and that the reservation is impermissible
under Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Convention. It is in the common interest of States
that treaties to which they have chosen to become Parties are respected, as to their
object and purpose, by all Parties. The Government of Norway therefore objects to
the aforesaid reservation. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force
of the Convention between the Government of Norway and the Kingdom of Bhutan. The
Convention thus becomes operative between the Government of Norway and the Kingdom
of Bhutan, without [t]he Kingdom of Bhutan benefitting from its aforementioned reservation.
Bezwaar Oostenrijk, 07-03-2025
The Government of Austria has carefully examined the reservation made by the Kingdom
of Bhutan upon ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
on 13 March 2024. According to Article 46 paragraph 1 of the Convention, reservations
contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention are impermissible. Austria finds
that Article 18 paragraphs 1(a) and 2, Article 23 paragraphs 1(b) and (c), Article
27 paragraph 1(c), and Article 29 section (a) (ii) of the Convention relate to fundamental
principles of the Convention and that the exclusion of the application of these principles
is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention. Austria therefore considers
the reservation impermissible and objects to it. This objection shall not preclude
the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Austria and the Kingdom
of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Roemenië, 10-03-2025
Romania has carefully examined the reservation made by the Kingdom of Bhutan upon
ratification on 13 March 2024 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(the ‘Convention’), concerning paragraph 1 (a) and paragraph 2 of Article 18, paragraphs
1 (b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraphs 1 (c) of Article 27 and section (a) (ii) of
Article 29 of the Convention. Romania considers that, contrary to the object and purpose
of the Convention to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all
human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities without discrimination
of any kind on the basis of disability (Articles 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the Convention),
this reservation restricts the full and equal enjoyment by persons with disabilities
of various human rights and fundamental freedoms in areas covered by the Convention.
Therefore, the reservation is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention
and hence impermissible according to Article 46 (1) of the Convention and Article
19 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. Romania thus objects to the aforementioned
reservation made by the Kingdom of Bhutan. This objection shall not preclude the entry
into force of the Convention between Romania and the Kingdom of Bhutan, without the
Kingdom of Bhutan benefitting from its reservation.
Bezwaar Zweden, 11-03-2025
The Government of Sweden has examined the contents of the reservations made by the
Kingdom of Bhutan upon ratification, on 13 March 2024, of the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities, done at New York on 13 December 2006, (‘the Convention’).
The Government of Sweden believes that the reservations made by Bhutan limit the ability
of persons with disabilities to fully and equally enjoy certain human rights in areas
covered by the Convention. Accordingly, the reservations are incompatible with the
object and purpose of the Convention and thus impermissible according to Article 46(1)
of the Convention and Article 19 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
The Government of Sweden objects to the reservations made by the Kingdom of Bhutan.
This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between Sweden
and the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bezwaar Zwitserland, 07-03-2025
The Swiss Federal Council has examined the reservations made by Bhutan upon ratification
of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 13 December 2006:
“The Kingdom of Bhutan does not consider itself bound by paragraph 1(a) and paragraph
2 of Article 18, paragraphs 1(b) and (c) of Article 23, paragraph 1(c) of Article
27, and section (a) (ii) of Article 29 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities.” Under article 46 (1) of the Convention, no reservations
may be made to the provisions of the Convention. The reservations made by Bhutan go
beyond what is permitted by the Convention. It is in the common interest of States
that instruments to which they have chosen to become parties are respected by all
parties and that States are prepared to comply with their treaty obligations. The
Swiss Federal Council therefore objects to the reservations made by Bhutan. This objection
shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between Switzerland and
Bhutan.

12 may be interpreted as requiring the elimination of all substitute decision making
arrangements, Bermuda reserves the right to permit such arrangements in appropriate
