Fiji
12-06-1972
The Government of Fiji stated that the first and third reservations made by the United

1. The Government of Fiji understands articles 8 and 9 as not preventing them from
taking in time of war or other grave and exceptional circumstances measures in the
interests of national security in the case of a stateless person on the ground of
his former nationality. The provisions of article 8 shall not prevent the Government
of Fiji from exercising any rights over property or interests which they may acquire
or have acquired as an Allied or Associated Power under a Treaty of Peace or other
agreement or arrangement for the restoration of peace which has been or may be completed
as a result of the Second World War. Furthermore the provisions of article 8 shall
not affect the treatment to be accorded to any property or interests which at the

Filipijnen
22-06-1955
Upon signature:
"(a) As regards Article 17, paragraph 1, granting stateless persons the right to engage
in wage-earning employment, [the Government of the Philippines] finds that this provision
conflicts with the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940, as amended, which classifies
as excludable aliens under Section 29 those coming to the Philippines to perform unskilled
labour, and permits the admission of pre-arranged employees under Section 9 (g) only
when there are no persons in the Philippines willing and competent to perform the
labour or service for which the admission of aliens is desired.
"(b) As regards Article 31, paragraph 1, to the effect that `the Contracting States
shall not expel a stateless person lawfully in their territory, save on grounds of
national security or public order', this provision would unduly restrict the power
of the Philippine Government to deport undesirable aliens under Section 37 of the
same Immigration Act which states the various grounds upon which aliens may be deported.
"Upon signing the Convention [the Philippine Government], therefore hereby [registers]
its non-conformity to the provisions of Article 17, paragraph 1, and Article 31, paragraph
1, thereof, for the reasons stated in (a) and (b) above."

Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden or to the nationals of any one of those Countries;
(2) A reservation to article 7, paragraph 2, to the effect that Finland is not prepared,
as a general measure, to grant stateless persons who fulfil the conditions of three
years residence in Finland an exemption from any legislative reciprocity which Finnish
law may have stipulated as a condition governing an alien's eligibility for same right
or privilege;
(3) A reservation to article 8 to the effect that that article shall not be binding
on Finland;
(4) .[...]
(5) A reservation to article 24, paragraph 1 (b) and paragraph 3 to the effect that
they shall not be binding on Finland;
(6) A reservation to article 25, to the effect that Finland does not consider itself
bound to cause a certificate to be delivered by a Finnish authority, in the place
of the authorities of a foreign country, if the documentary records necessary for
the delivery of such certificate do not exist in Finland;

Verenigd Koninkrijk
16-04-1959
I have the honour further to state that the Government of the United Kingdom deposit
the present instrument of ratification on the understanding that the combined effects
of articles 36 and 38 permit them to include in any declaration or notification made
under paragraph 1 of article 36 or paragraph 2 of article 36 respectively any reservation
consistent with article 38 which the Government of the territory concerned might desire
to make.
When ratifying the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons which was
opened for signature at New York on September 28, 1954, the Government of the United
Kingdom have deemed it necessary to make certain reservations in accordance with paragraph
1 of Article 38 thereof the text of which is reproduced below:
(1) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland understand
Articles 8 and 9 as not preventing them from taking in time of war or other grave
and exceptional circumstances measures in the interests of national security in the
case of a stateless person on the ground of his former nationality. The provisions
of Article 8 shall not prevent the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland from exercising any rights over property or interests which they
may acquire or have acquired as an Allied or Associated Power under a Treaty of Peace
or other agreement or arrangement for the restoration of peace which has been or may
be completed as a result of the Second World War. Furthermore, the provisions of
Article 8 shall not affect the treatment to be accorded to any property or interests
which at the date of entry into force of this Convention for the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland are under the control of the Government of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland by reason of a state of war which
exists or existed between them and any other State.
(2) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in
respect of such of the matters referred to in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 1 of
Article 24 as fall within the scope of the National Health Service, can only undertake
to apply the provisions of that paragraph so far as the law allows.
(3) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland cannot
undertake to give effect to the obligations contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article
25 and can only undertake to apply the provisions of paragraph 3 so far as the law
allows.
Commentary:
In connexion with sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 1 of Article 24 which relates to
certain matters within the scope of the National Health Service, the National Health
Service (Amendment) Act 1949 contains powers for charges to be made to persons not
ordinarily resident in Great Britain (which category would include some stateless
persons) who receive treatment under the Service. These powers have not yet been
exercised but it may be necessary to exercise them at some future date. In Northern
Ireland the Health Services are restricted to persons ordinarily resident in the country
except where regulations are made to extend the Services to others. For these reasons,
the Government of the United Kingdom, while prepared in the future, as in the past,
to give the most sympathetic consideration to the situation of stateless persons,
find it necessary to make reservation to sub-paragraph (b) of Article 24.
No arrangements exist in the United Kingdom for the administrative assistance for
which provision is made in Article 25 nor have any such arrangements been found necessary
in the case of stateless persons. Any need for the documents or certifications mentioned
in paragraph 2 of that Article would be met by affidavit.
16-04-1959
Isle of Man and Channel Islands:
(i) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland understand
Articles 8 and 9 as not preventing the taking in the Isle of Man and in the Channel
Islands, in time of war or other grave and exceptional circumstances, of measures
in the interests of national security in the case of a stateless person on the ground
of his former nationality. The provisions of Article 8 shall not prevent the Government
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from exercising any rights
over property or interests which they may acquire or have acquired as an Allied or
Associated Power under a Treaty of Peace or other agreement or arrangement for the
restoration of peace which has been or may be completed as a result of the Second
World War. Furthermore, the provisions of Article 8 shall not affect the treatment
to be accorded to any property or interests which, at the date of entry into force
of this Convention for the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, are under the control
of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland by reason
of a state of war which exists or existed between them and any other State.
(ii) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland can
only undertake that the provisions of sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 1 of Article
24 and of paragraph 2 of that Article will be applied in the Channel Islands so far
as the law allows, and that the provisions of that sub-paragraph, in respect of such
matters referred to therein as fall within the scope of the Isle of Man Health Service,
will be applied in the Isle of Man so far as the law allows.
(iii) The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland cannot
undertake that effect will be given in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands to
paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 25 and can only undertake that the provisions of paragraph
3 will be applied in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands so far as the law allows.
