The Government of the Republic of El Salvador signs the present Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Optional Protocol thereto, adopted by
the United Nations General Assembly on 13 December 2006, to the extent that its provisions
do not prejudice or violate the provisions of any of the precepts, principles and
norms enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of El Salvador, particularly in
its enumeration of principles.
objection to reservation
Objections Austria, 26-09-2008
The Government of Austria has examined the reservation to the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol thereto made by the Government
of El Salvador.
According to its reservation, El Salvador envisages becoming Party to the Convention
only to the extent that its provisions do not prejudice or violate the provisions
of any of the precepts, principles and norms enshrined in the Constitution of the
Republic of El Salvador, particularly in its enumeration of principles. In the absence
of further clarification, this reservation does not clearly specify the extent of
El Salvador’s derogation from the provisions of the Convention. This general and vague
wording of the reservation raises doubts as to the degree of commitment assumed by
El Salvador in becoming a party to the Convention and is therefore incompatible with
international law.
The Government of Austria objects to the reservation made by the Government of the
Republic of El Salvador to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
and Optional Protocol thereto.
This objection, however, does not preclude the entry into force, in its entirety,
of the Convention between Austria and El Salvador.
Objections Germany, 28-01-2010
Communication relating to the declaration made by the Republic of El Salvador upon
signature and confirmed upon ratification.
The Federal Republic of Germany has carefully examined the aforementioned reservation.
The Federal Republic of Germany is of the opinion that reservations which consist
in a general reference to a system of norms (like the constitution or the legal order
of the reserving State) without specifying the contents thereof leave it uncertain
to which extent that State accepts to be bound by the obligations under the treaty.
Moreover, those norms may be subject to changes.
The reservation made by the Republic of El Salvador is therefore not sufficiently
precise to make it possible to determine the restrictions that are introduced into
the agreement.
The Federal Republic of Germany is therefore of the opinion that the reservation is
incompatible with object and purpose of the Convention and the Protocol and would
like to recall that, according to Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Convention, and Article
14, paragraph 1 of the Protocol, a reservation incompatible with the object and purpose
of the Convention shall not be permitted.
The Federal Republic of Germany therefore objects to the above-mentioned reservation.
This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention and the Protocol
between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of El Salvador.

Turkey declares that [its] ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities neither amounts to any form of recognition
of the Greek Cypriot Administration’s pretention to represent the defunct ‘Republic
of Cyprus’ as party to that Protocol, nor should it imply any obligation on the part
of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the so-called Republic of Cyprus within the
framework of the said Protocol.
objection to reservation
Objections Cyprus, 11-02-2016
The Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey
upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (New York, 13 December 2006) on 26 March 2015, limiting the implementation
of the provisions of the Convention and the Protocol, by excluding the Republic of
Cyprus from the application of the Protocol at reference by the Republic of Turkey.
The content of the declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation.
Such a reservation is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention and its
Protocol, as it prevents the realization of the cooperation between States Parties
foreseen by the Convention and its Protocol. In addition, such a declaration / reservation
also relies on the principle of reciprocity, which is incompatible with human rights’
obligations assumed through this Convention. The legal reasoning, cited above, renders
Turkey’s declaration unacceptable, as the declaration under reference contravenes
the letter and the spirit of the Convention and its Protocol. The Republic of Cyprus,
therefore, objects to the aforesaid declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and
considers the declaration null and void. This objection shall not preclude the entry
into force of the Convention, in its entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and
the Republic of Turkey, without the Republic of Turkey benefiting from its declaration
/ reservation.
Objections Austria, 16-03-2016
The Government of Austria has examined the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey
upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities adopted on 13 December 2006. It welcomes the ratification of the
Optional Protocol by Turkey as a significant step for the promotion of the rights
of persons with disabilities. However, as a member state of the European Union, Austria
opposes the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey which describes another member
state, the Republic of Cyprus, as a defunct entity.
Objections Greece, 16-03-2016
… The Government of the Hellenic Republic has examined the declaration made by the
Republic of Turkey upon ratification, on 26 March 2015, of the Optional Protocol to
the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Optional Protocol to
the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should not imply any obligation
on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within
the framework of the said Protocol.
In [the] view of the Government of the Hellenic Republic, the above declaration in
fact amounts to a reservation, as it purports to exclude the application of the Protocol
in Turkey's relations with the Republic of Cyprus. Such a reservation is incompatible
with the principle that inter-State reciprocity has no place in the context of human
rights treaties, which concern the endowment of individuals with rights. It is, therefore,
contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities and its Optional Protocol.
The Government of the Hellenic Republic recalls that, according to Article 14 paragraph
1 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,
reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of this Protocol shall not be
permitted.
For the above reasons, the Government of the Hellenic Republic objects to the declaration
made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the said Protocol.
This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Protocol between the
Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Turkey…
Objections Portugal, 06-12-2016
The Government of the Portuguese Republic has examined the declaration made by the
Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted on 13 December 2006.
It welcomes the ratification of the Optional Protocol by the Republic of Turkey since
this is a significant step for the promotion of human rights, particularly the rights
of those persons with disabilities.
Nevertheless, the Portuguese Republic, as a European Union Member State, opposes the
declaration made by the Republic of Turkey since it describes another Member State,
the Republic of Cyprus, as a defunct entity.
