The provision of article 11, paragraph 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Producers of Phonograms against Unauthorized Duplication of their Phonograms is in contradiction to the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples which was adopted at the XVth session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Hungary

A. Ad article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2:
In the opinion of the Hungarian People's Republic, article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2 of
the Convention have a discriminatory character. The Convention is a general, multilateral
one and therefore every State has the right to be a party to it, in accordance with
the basic principles of international law.
B. Ad article 11, paragraph 3:
The Hungarian People's Republic declares that the provisions of article 11, paragraph
3 of the Convention are inconsistent with the principles of the independence of colonial
countries and peoples, formulated, inter alia, also in resolution No. 1514 (XV) of
the United Nations General Assembly.
