Reservation, declarations and objections
Argentina June 13, 1972
The application of the present Statutes to territories whose sovereignty is the subject of a dispute between two or more States, whether or not they are signatories to these Statutes, may not be interpreted as a modification, renunciation or abandonment of the position previously held by any of these States.
Reservation, declarations and objections
Iraq February 24, 1975
conducive to entry therewith into such dealings, as may be provided for in the said statutes.
Objection Israel: May 11, 1975
The instrument deposited by the Government of Irak contains a statement 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 politial pronouncements, which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the principles, objects en purposes of the Organization. That pronouncement by the Republic of Irak cannot in any way affect whatever obligations are binding upon Irak, under general international law or under particular treaties. The Government of Israel will, in so far as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Republic of Irak an attitude of complete reciprocity.
Reservation, declarations and objections
Republic of Korea, the March 15, 1973
The approval by the Government of the Republic of Korea of the present Statutes does not in any way mean or imply the recognition of any territory or regime which has not been recognized by the Government of the Republic of Korea as a State or Government.
Reservation, declarations and objections
Romania September 13, 1974
a) The Council of State of the Socialist Republic of Romania considers that the provisions of article 5, paragraph 3 and of article 41 of the Statutes of the World Tourism Organisation are inconsistent with the principle that
international multilateral agreements whose subject matter and purpose are of interest to the international community as a whole must be open to universal participation.
b) The Council of State of the Socialist Republic of Romania considers that the maintenance in a state of dependence of certain territories, referred to by the rules laid down in article 6, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, article 35, paragraph 2, and article 43 of the Statutes of the World Tourism Organisation, is inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations and with the documents adopted by the UN on granting independence to colonised 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 adopted unanimously by Resolution 2625 (XXV) of 1970, which solemnly proclaims the duty of States to promote the realisation of the principle of equality of rights and self-determination of peoples in order to bring a speedy end to colonialism.
Reservation, declarations and objections
Spain July 4, 1974
In adopting the Statutes of the World Tourism Organisation, Spain declares that the application of articles 6 and 43 to territories not responsible for their foreign relations, whose sovereignty is the subject of a dispute between two or more States, may not be interpreted in any circumstances as recognition of a new legal situation or of a modification of the existing legal situation.
Reservation, declarations and objections
Syria August 11, 1971
The adoption by the Syrian Arab Republic of these Statues and its acceptance of the obligations that they entail may not be interpreted in any way as recognition of the so-called 'State of Israel'. Moreover, they may not be interpreted as obliging the Syrian Arab Republic to enter into relations of any kind whatsoever with that so-called State.
The Ministry has noted the political nature of the declaration made on this occasion by the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic. In the opinion of the Israeli Government, the Statutes may not be used for political declarations of this nature. Moreover, the declaration in question cannot in any way modify the existing obligations of the Syrian Arab Republic under international law in general or under specific agreements. With regard to the substance of the question, the Government of the State of Israel will fully reciprocate the attitude of the Syrian Arab Republic.
