Nederlanden, het Koninkrijk der

23-06-1982

We approve herewith, for the Kingdom in Europe and the Netherlands Antilles, the said Protocol.
Since, following ratification by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Protocol No. 4 to the Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, securing certain rights and freedoms other than those already specified in the Convention and the first Protocol, applies to the Netherlands and to the Netherlands Antilles, the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles are regarded as separate territories for the application of Articles 2 and 3 of the Protocol, in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 4. Under Article 3, no one may be expelled from or deprived of the right to enter the territory of the State of which he is a national. There is, however, only one nationality (Netherlands) for the whole of the Kingdom. Accordingly, nationality cannot be used as a criterion in making a distinction between the "citizens" of the Netherlands and those of the Netherlands Antilles, a distinction which is unavoidable since Article 3 applies separately to each of the parts of the Kingdom.
This being so, the Netherlands reserve the right to make a distinction in law, for purpose of the application of Article 3 of the Protocol, between Netherlands nationals residing in the Netherlands and Netherlands nationals residing in the Netherlands Antilles.

Spanje

16-09-2009

If this Protocol were to be extended by the United Kingdom to Gibraltar, Spain would like to make the following declaration:
1. Gibraltar is a non-autonomous territory whose international relations come under the responsibility of the United Kingdom and which is subject to a decolonisation process in accordance with the relevant decisions and resolutions of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
2. The authorities of Gibraltar have a local character and exercise exclusively internal competences which have their origin and their foundation in a distribution and attribution of competences performed by the United Kingdom in compliance with its internal legislation, in its capacity as sovereign State on which the mentioned non-autonomous territory depends.
3. As a result, the eventual participation of the Gibraltarian authorities in the application of this Protocol will be understood as carried out exclusively as part of the internal competences of Gibraltar and cannot be considered to modify in any way what was established in the two previous paragraphs.
