Denmark

20-07-1998

It should be noted that a decision as to the applicability of the provisions of the Convention to Greenland and the Faroe is pending the completion of the international procedures prescribed in this respect. The ratification of Denmark is therefore, until further notice, subject to reservation with regard to the obligations of Greenland and the Faroe under the Convention.


14-10-1998

[...] that the reservation made with regard to the obligations of the Faroe in connection with Denmark's ratification has been lifted in accordance with a recommendation submitted by the local government of the Faroe.
This notice does not affect the reservation made with respect to Greenland.

New Zealand

04-12-2017

[…] consistent with article 19 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties: the Government of New Zealand reserves the right to continue to apply the Tran-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement with respect to the recognition of Australian seafarer certificates until such time as Australia becomes party to the Convention.
[…] declares that, consistent with the constitutional status of Tokelau and taking into account the commitment of the Government of New Zealand to the development of self-government for Tokelau through an act of self-determination under the Charter of the United Nations, this accession shall not extend to Tokelau.

Syria

12-07-2005

Under no circumstances shall the accession of the Syrian Arab Republic to this Convention, as amended, imply recognition of Israel or occasion its entry with the latter into any of the transactions regulated by the provisions of the same, as amended.
