Upon signature without reservation of approval of the International Agreement on the
use of INMARSAT ship earth stations within the territorial sea and ports, done at
London on 16 October 1985 during the fourth session of the Assembly of Parties of
INMARSAT, the Government of the French Republic declares that it has the intention,
within the strict compliance with the provisions of the articles 3 and 4 of the said
Agreement, to restrict the exploitations of the INMARSAT system within its ports and
territorial waters, each time circumstances would require to do so.
Israel

The Ambassador of Israel to the United Kingdom of Great Britain presents his compliments
to the Director General of the International Maritime Satellite Organization and has
the honour to refer to the Director General's Verbal Note dated 17 May 1989 informing,
inter alia, that Kuwait deposited on 11 May 1989 its Instrument of Ratification of
the International Agreement on the Use of INMARSAT Ship Earth Stations within the
Territorial Sea and Ports done at Londen on 16 October 1985.
The Government of the State of Israel has noted that Kuwait's Instrument of Ratification
was accompanied by a Statement of Understanding in respect of Israel. In the view
of the Government of the State of Israel, such statement which is explicitly of a
political character is incompatible with the purposes and objectives of this Agreement
and cannot, in any way, affect whatever obligations are binding upon Kuwait under
general international law or under particular Agreements.
The Government of the State of Israel will, in so far as concerns the substance of
the matter, adopt towards the State of Kuwait an attitude of complete reciprocity.
Kuwait

It is understood that the Ratification of the Sate of Kuwait of the International
Agreement on the Use of INMARSAT Ship Earth Stations within the Territorial Sea and
Ports does not mean in any way a recognition of Israel by the Government of the State
of Kuwait. Furthermore, no treaty relations will arise between the State of Kuwait
and Israel.
