Aviso n. 106/2008
Por ordem superior se torna público ter o Governo da República da Letónia efectuado, junto do Secretário -Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 15 de Novembro de 2005, uma objecçáo à declaraçáo formulada pelo Governo da Mauritânia no momento da adesáo ao Pacto Internacional sobre os Direitos Civis e Políticos, adoptado em Nova Iorque em 16 de Dezembro de 1966, adiante denominado o Pacto.
Notificaçáo
The Government of the Republic of Latvia has carefully examined the declaration made by Mauritania to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights upon accession. The Government of the Republic of Latvia considers that the declaration contains general reference to prescriptions of the Islamic Shariah, making the provisions of International Covenant subject to the prescriptions of the Islamic Shariah.
Thus, the Government of the Republic of Latvia is of the opinion that the declaration is in fact a unilateral act deemed to limit the scope of application of the International Covenant and, therefore, it shall be regarded as a reservation.
Moreover, the Government of the Republic of Latvia noted that the reservation does not make it clear to what extent Mauritania considers itself bound by the provisions of the International Covenant and whether the way of implementation of the provisions of the International Covenant is in line with the object and purpose of the International Covenant.
The Government of the Republic of Latvia recalls that customary international law as codified by Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and in particular article 19, c), sets out that reservations that are incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty are not permissible.
The Government of the Republic of Latvia therefore objects to the aforesaid reservations made by Mauritania to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
However, this objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the International Covenant between the Republic of Latvia and Mauritania. Thus, the International Covenant will become operative without Mauritania benefiting from its reservation.
