RESERVATION
- A
reservation is a declaration made by a state by which it purports to exclude or
alter the legal effect of certain provisions of the treaty in their application
to that state. A reservation enables a state to accept a multilateral treaty as
a whole by giving it the possibility not to apply certain provisions with which
it does not want to comply. Reservations can be made when the treaty is signed,
ratified, accepted, approved or acceded to. Reservations must not be
incompatible with the object and the purpose of the treaty. Furthermore, a
treaty might prohibit reservations or only allow for certain reservations to be
made. - [Arts.2 (1) (d) and 19-23, Vienna Convention of the Law of
Treaties 1969]
