Por ordem superior se torna público ter o Governo da Suécia efectuado, junto do Secretário -Geral das Naçóes Unidas, em 5 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.
