Argentina

01-01-0001

[...], with reference to the letter from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland dated 31 August 1999, regarding its intention to apply this Convention to the Malvinas Islands, which was submitted after this instrument had been ratified by the Argentine Republic. The Argentine Government recalls that the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas are an integral part of the national territory of the Argentine Republic and that, as they are illegally occupied by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, they are the subject of a sovereignty dispute between both countries, which is recognized by the United Nations and other international organizations. The United Nations General Assembly has adopted Resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9, 38/12, 39/6, 40/21 and 43/25 thereon, which recognize the existence of a sovereignty dispute referred as the “Malvinas Question” and urge the Governments of the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to resume negotiations in order to reach a peaceful and lasting solution to the dispute as soon as possible. The UN Special Committee on Decolonization has repeatedly made similar statements, most recently in the Resolution adopted on 25 June 2015. Furthermore, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States adopted a new Declaration on this question in similar terms on 16 June 2015. Therefore, the Argentine Republic objects to and rejects the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’s intention to apply the “Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives for the Purpose of Detection”, signed at Montreal on 1 March 1991, to the Malvinas Islands. The Argentine Republic reaffirms its legitimate sovereignty rights over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas.

06-10-2010

The Kingdom of the Netherlands currently consists of three parts: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles consists of the islands of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.
With effect from 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist as a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. From that date onwards, the Kingdom will consist of four parts: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Curaçao and Sint Maarten will enjoy internal self-government within the Kingdom, as Aruba and, up to 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles do.
These changes constitute a modification of the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will accordingly remain the subject of international law with which agreements are concluded. The modification of the structure of the Kingdom will therefore not affect the validity of the international agreements ratified by the Kingdom for the Netherlands Antilles: these agreements, including any reservations made, will continue to apply to Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
The other islands that have until now formed part of the Netherlands Antilles - Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba - will become part of the Netherlands, thus constituting "the Caribbean part of the Netherlands". The agreements that now apply to the Netherlands Antilles will also continue to apply to these islands; however, the Government of the Netherlands will now be responsible for implementing these agreements. In addition, a number of the agreements that currently apply to the Netherlands are hereby declared applicable, from 10 October 2010, to this Caribbean part of the Netherlands.
