voorbehoud 29-11-2005 Statement of Understanding
1. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that the definition of a military
objective in Article 2(f) is to be interpreted the same way as Article 52(2) of Additional
Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
2. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that in relation to Article
6(a)(ii), 6(b), 7(a), 7(b), 8, 13(2)(a) and 13(2)(b) the word "feasible" means that
which is practicable or practically possible, taking into account all circumstances
ruling at the time, including humanitarian and military considerations.
3. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that in relation to Article
6(a)(ii), 6(b), 7(c) and 7(d)(ii) that the military advantage anticipated from an
attack is intended to refer to the advantage anticipated from the attack considered
as a whole and not from isolated or particular parts of the attack.
4. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that any cultural property
that becomes a military objective may be attacked in accordance with a waiver of imperative
military necessity pursuant 10 Article 4(2) of the Convention.
5. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that a decision to invoke imperative
military necessity pursuant to Article 6(c) of this Protocol may be taken by an officer
commanding a force smaller than the equivalent of a battalion in size in circumstances
where the cultural property becomes a military objective and the circumstances ruling
at the time relating to force protection are such that it is not feasible to require
the decision to be made by an officer commanding a force the equivalent of a battalion
in size or larger.
6. It is the understanding of the Government of Canada that under Article 6(a)(i),
cultural property can be made into a military objective because of its nature, location,
purpose or use.

voorbehoud 30-03-2017 The French Republic understands the reference made in Article 13 sub-paragraph 2(c)
of the Protocol to ‘immediate self-defence’ as in no way affecting the right of self-defence
recognized in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and declares that it
will apply the provisions of Article 13 sub-paragraph 2(c) of the Protocol in so far
as the interpretation of these provisions does not constitute an obstacle to the employment,
in accordance with international law, of the means that it considers indispensable
to respond to an immediate threat in a situation of armed conflict.
The French Republic understands that any cultural property that becomes a military
objective within the meaning of the Protocol may be attacked under an exemption on
account of imperative military necessity, pursuant to Article 4 paragraph 2 of the
Convention.
With reference to Article 16 sub-paragraph 1(c) of the Protocol, the French Republic
states that the French courts may prosecute any person who is a national of a State
Party to the Protocol who habitually resides in France and has perpetrated the offences
referred to in Article 15 sub-paragraphs 1(a)-(c). These offences may only be prosecuted
at the request of the public prosecutor.

voorbehoud 24-05-2005 Accession of the Islamic Republic of Iran to this Protocol shall not mean the recognition
of any country it does not recognize, neither shall it give rise to any commitment
toward such states or governments.
Considering the special importance of protecting cultural heritage of nations against
damages caused by war,
Bearing in mind the fact that cultural heritage of nations is deemed as part of cultural
heritage of humanity,
Considering that full protect of cultural heritage against damages caused by armed
conflicts needs the protections more than that which is provided for in the present
Protocol,
The Islamic Republic of Iran regards the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral
supplementary agreements to the present Protocol as necessary and states its readiness
to conclude such agreements. These agreements shall entail the granting of privileges
and providing more possibilities for protection of cultural heritage of nations and
shall also articulate the rules stipulated in the Protocol including customary rules
of international law, in a way that solely include the rules that are not protested
by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and as well as explain more clearly
the modality for the implementation of provisions of section 4 of this Protocol.

voorbehoud 08-10-2010 The Kingdom of the Netherlands currently consists of three parts: the Netherlands,
the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles consists of the islands
of Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.
With effect from 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist as
a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. From that date onwards, the Kingdom will
consist of four parts: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Curaçao and
Sint Maarten will enjoy internal self-government within the Kingdom, as Aruba and,
up to 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles do.
These changes constitute a modification of the internal constitutional relations within
the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will accordingly remain
the subject of international law with which agreements are concluded. The modification
of the structure of the Kingdom will therefore not affect the validity of the international
agreements ratified by the Kingdom for the Netherlands Antilles: these agreements,
including any reservations made, will continue to apply to Curaçao and Sint Maarten.
The other islands that have until now formed part of the Netherlands Antilles - Bonaire,
Sint Eustatius and Saba - will become parts of the Netherlands, thus constituting
"the Caribbean part of the Netherlands". The agreements that now apply to the Netherlands
Antilles will also continue to apply to these islands; however, the Government of
the Netherlands will now be responsible for implementing these agreements.
In addition, a number of the agreements that currently apply to the Netherlands are
hereby declared applicable, from 10 October 2010, to this Caribbean part of the Netherlands.

of the United Nations, this accession shall not extend to Tokelau unless and until
a Declaration to this effect is lodged by the Government of New Zealand with the depositary

voorbehoud 12-09-2017 Hereby Declare that the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland makes the following declarations in relation to the Convention for the Protection
of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict with Regulations for the Execution
of the Convention, the Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property
in the Event of Armed Conflict 1954 and the Second Protocol to the Hague Convention
of 1954 for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict 1999
done at the Hague on 14 May 1954, 14 May 1954 and 26 March 1999 respectively:
1. It is the understanding of the United Kingdom that military commanders and others
responsible for planning, deciding upon, or executing attacks necessarily have to
reach decisions on the basis of their assessment of the information from all sources
which is reasonably available to them at the relevant time.
2. The United Kingdom understands the term “feasible” as used in the Second Protocol
to mean that which is practicable or practically possible, taking into account all
circumstances ruling at that time, including humanitarian and military considerations.
3. It is the view of the United Kingdom that, when referred to in the Second Protocol,
the military advantage anticipated from the attack considered as a whole and not only
from isolated or particular parts of the attack.
4. The United Kingdom recalls the Declaration made by the Republic of Mauritius on
its accession to the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event
of Armed Conflict with Regulations for the Execution of the Convention 1954 as to
the purported territorial application of the Convention.
The United Kingdom rejects the claim contained in the Declaration made by Mauritius
that the territorial application of the Convention extends to the Chagos Archipelago
including Diego Garcia. In particular, the United Kingdom rejects the claim by the
Republic of Mauritius that the Chagos Archipelago, which the United Kingdom administers
as the British Indian Ocean Territory, is part of Mauritius. The United Kingdom has
no doubt about its sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory/Chagos Archipelago.
Mauritius' purported extension of the Convention to this territory is unfounded and
does not have any legal effect.
