Aviso n. 35/2008
Por ordem superior se torna público ter o Reino da Bélgica efectuado, junto do Secretário -Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 24 de Outubro de 2005, uma objecçáo à declaraçáo formulada pela República Árabe Síria no momento da adesáo à Convençáo Internacional para a Eliminaçáo do Financiamento do Terrorismo, adoptada em Nova Iorque em 9 de Dezembro de 1999.
Notificaçáo
The Government of Belgium has examined the reservation formulated by the Syrian Arab Republic upon accession to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, in particular the part of the reservations and declarations relating to the provisions of article 2, paragraph 1, b), of the Convention, in which the Syrian Arab Republic declares that it considers 'that acts of resistance to foreign occupation are not included under acts of terrorism'. The Government of Belgium considers that this reservation seeks to limit the scope of the Convention on a unilateral basis, which is contrary to the object and purpose thereof, namely, the suppression of the financing of acts of terrorism, wherever and by whomever committed.
Moreover, this reservation contravenes article 6 of the Convention, according to which 'Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary, including, where appropriate, domestic legislation, to ensure that criminal acts within the scope of this Convention are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature'.
The Government of Belgium recalls that, under article 19, c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, no reservation may be formulated that is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.
The Government of Belgium therefore objects to the above -mentioned reservation made by the Syrian Arab Republic to the International Convention for the Sup-
pression of the Financing of Terrorism. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between Belgium and the Syrian Arab Republic.
