Objection contained in a Note Verbale from the Permanent Representation of Cyprus, dated 6 December 2016, registered at the Secretariat General on 23 January 2017 - Or. Engl. The Republic of Cyprus has examined the Declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Extradition (ETS No. 086), dated 11 July 2016 and registered at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe on 13 July 2016. The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Extradition neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, as party to that Protocol, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of the Republic of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Protocol. In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the content and purported effect of this Declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the Protocol. By such Declaration, the Republic of Turkey purports to evade its obligations under the Protocol vis-à-vis another equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Indeed, the Declaration prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Protocol. The Republic of Cyprus therefore strongly rejects the aforesaid Declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers such declaration to be null and void. The aforementioned objections by the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the Protocol, in their entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey. Regarding the Republic of Turkey’s pretension, as expressed in the same Declaration, that ”the Republic of Cyprus is defunct and that there is no single authority which in law or in fact is competent to represent jointly the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots and consequently Cyprus as a whole“, the Republic of Cyprus would like to remind of the following: Despite, being, through binding international agreements, a guarantor of ”the independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus“ (Article II of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee), the Republic of Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus in 1974 and continues since then occupying 36.2% of the territory of the Republic. The illegality of such aggression was made manifested by the U.N. Security Council Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984). Resolution 541’s operative paragraph 2 considers “the declaration [of the Turkish Cypriot authorities of the purported secession of part of the Republic of Cyprus] as legally invalid and “calls for its withdrawal”. Paragraph 6 then “calls upon all States to respect the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and non-alignment of the Republic of Cyprus” and further at par. 7 “calls upon all States not to recognize any Cypriot state other than the Republic of Cyprus”. Resolution 550, operative para. 2, also ”condemns all secessionist actions, including the purported exchange of Ambassadors between Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership, declares them illegal and invalid, and calls for their immediate withdrawal”. Para. 3 then “reiterates the call upon all States not to recognize the purported state of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” set up by secessionist acts and calls upon them not to facilitate or in any way assist the aforesaid secessionist entity”. The European Court of Human Rights additionally, in its Judgment of 10th May 2001 on the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus v. Turkey, found, at para. 77, that Turkey, which has ”effective control over northern Cyprus“, is responsible for securing all human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights and for violations of such rights by her own soldiers or officials, or by the local administration, which are

imputable to Turkey. The responsibilities of the occupying power emanate from international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. … … …

Objection contained in a Note Verbale from the Permanent Representation of Cyprus, dated 6 December 2016, registered at the Secretariat General on 23 January 2017 - Or. Engl. The Republic of Cyprus has examined the Declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Second Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters (ETS No. 182), dated 11 July 2016 and registered at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe on 13 July 2016. The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Second Additional Protocol to the European Convention in Criminal Matters neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, as party to that Protocol, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of the Republic of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Protocol. In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the content and purported effect of this Declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the Protocol. By such Declaration, the Republic of Turkey purports to evade its obligations under the Protocol vis-à-vis another equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Indeed, the Declaration prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Protocol. The Republic of Cyprus therefore strongly rejects the aforesaid Declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers such declaration to be null and void. The aforementioned objections by the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the Protocol, in their entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey. Regarding the Republic of Turkey’s pretension, as expressed in the same Declaration, that ”the Republic of Cyprus is defunct and that there is no single authority which in law or in fact is competent to represent jointly the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots and consequently Cyprus as a whole“, the Republic of Cyprus would like to remind of the following: Despite, being, through binding international agreements, a guarantor of ”the independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus“ (Article II of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee), the Republic of Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus in 1974 and continues since then occupying 36.2% of the territory of the Republic. The illegality of such aggression was made manifested by the U.N. Security Council Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984). Resolution 541’s operative paragraph 2 considers “the declaration [of the Turkish Cypriot authorities of the purported secession of part of the Republic of Cyprus] as legally invalid and “calls for its withdrawal”. Paragraph 6 then “calls upon all States to respect the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and non-alignment of the Republic of Cyprus” and further at par. 7 “calls upon all States not

to recognize any Cypriot state other than the Republic of Cyprus”. Resolution 550, operative para. 2, also ”condemns all secessionist actions, including the purported exchange of Ambassadors between Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership, declares them illegal and invalid, and calls for their immediate withdrawal”. Para. 3 then “reiterates the call upon all States not to recognize the purported state of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” set up by secessionist acts and calls upon them not to facilitate or in any way assist the aforesaid secessionist entity”. The European Court of Human Rights additionally, in its Judgment of 10th May 2001 on the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus v. Turkey, found, at para. 77, that Turkey, which has ”effective control over northern Cyprus“, is responsible for securing all human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights and for violations of such rights by her own soldiers or officials, or by the local administration, which are imputable to Turkey. The responsibilities of the occupying power emanate from international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. … … …

Objection by Cyprus dated 26 November 2003, with regard to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification: “…the Government of the Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (New York, 16 December 1966) on 23 September 2003, in respect of the implementation of the provisions of the Convention only to the States Parties which it recognizes and with which it has diplomatic relations. In the view of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, this declaration amounts to a reservation. This reservation creates uncertainty as to the States Parties in respect of which Turkey is undertaking the obligations in the Covenant, and raises doubt as to the commitment of Turkey to the object and purpose of the said Covenant. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus therefore objects to the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Objection dated 26 November 2003 with regard to the declarations made by Turkey upon ratification: “…the Government of the Republic of Cyprus wishes to express its objection with respect to the declarations entered by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification on 23 September 2003, of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, New York 16 December 1966. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus considers that the declaration relating to the implementation of the provisions of the Covenant only to the States with which the Republic of Turkey has diplomatic relations, and the declaration that the Convention is “ratified exclusively with regard to the national territory where the Constitution and the legal and administrative order of the Republic of Turkey are applied” amount to reservations. These reservations create uncertainty as to the States Parties in respect of which Turkey is undertaking the obligations in the Covenant, and raise doubt as to the commitment of Turkey to the object and purpose of the said Covenant. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus objects to the said reservations entered by the Republic of Turkey and states that these reservations or the objection to them shall not preclude the entry into force of the Covenant between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey.”

Objection to the Declaration made by Turkey upon accession: "The Government of the Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space (New York, 12 November 1974) on 21 June 2006 that ‘it will implement the provisions of the Convention only to the States Parties with which it has diplomatic relations.' In the view of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, this declaration amounts to a reservation. This reservation creates uncertainty as to the States Parties in respect of which Turkey is undertaking the obligations in the Convention, raises doubt as to the commitment of Turkey to the object and purpose of the Convention and is contrary to its multilateral character. It also raises serious questions concerning the will of the Republic of Turkey to assume its obligation under international law to bona fide implement the provisions of the said Convention. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus therefore objects to the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space. This reservation or the objection to it shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention of Objects Launched into Outer Space between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey."

The above objection refers to depositary notification C.N.486.2006.TREATIES-3 of 21 June 2006 (Turkey: Accession). Action effected by Cyprus on 21 June 2007.

Declaration: “Ratifying the Final Acts of the Regional Radiocommunication Conference the Republic of Cyprus would like to declare that it is regrettable that the Government of the Republic of Turkey refused to engage in any technical coordination with the Republic of Cyprus during the Conference and has chosen, instead, to politicize a purely technical issue through its declaration (Document 174/Rev.1). The position of the delegation of the Republic of Turkey and the Declaration submitted in signing the Acts raise doubts as to the commitment of the Republic of Turkey to the objectives and purpose of the ITU and to the obligations arising from the Convention/Constitution. Furthermore, it is doubtful as to whether Turkey considers itself bound by international law and mandatory UN Security Council Resolutions. With reference to its declaration to the Conference (Document 175-E), the Government of the Republic of Cyprus considers necessary for Turkey to start cooperating with the Republic of Cyprus in the frame of the Constitution and Convention of the International Telecommunication Union”.

Declaration contained in a letter from the Permanent Representative of Cyprus, dated 17 August 1999, registered at the Secretariat General on 17 August 1999 - Or. Engl. The Government of Cyprus consents to the Amendments to the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data allowing the European Communities to accede, adopted by the Committee of Ministers, in Strasbourg, on 15 June 1999. Articles concerned: 21

Objection contained in a Note Verbale from the Permanent Representation of Cyprus, dated 26 July 2016, registered at the Secretariat General on 29 July 2016 - Or. Engl. The Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data (ETS No. 108), registered at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe on 2 May 2016.

The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, as party to that Convention, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of the Republic of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Convention.

In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the content and purported effect of this declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention, which, it is to be noted, expressly provides that no reservations may be made in respect to its provisions. By such declaration, the Republic of Turkey purports to evade its obligations under the Convention vis-à-vis another equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Such declaration is incompatible with the principle that inter-State reciprocity has no place in the context of human rights treaties. Furthermore, it prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Convention.

The Republic of Cyprus therefore strongly rejects the aforesaid declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers such declaration to be null and void. The aforementioned objections by the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention, in its entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey.

Additional Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, regarding supervisory authorities and transborder data flows Strasbourg, 8 November 2001 Entry into force 1 July 2004 Ratified by Cyprus 17 March 2004 Depositary: Secretary-General of the Council of Europe COG S.I(III) 3732, 04.07.2003, p. 1672; Law No. 30(III)/2003; CETS No. 181

Objection contained in a Note Verbale from the Permanent Representation of Cyprus, dated 6 December 2016, registered at the Secretariat General on 23 January 2017 - Or. Engl. The Republic of Cyprus has examined the Declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Additional Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, Regarding Supervisory Authorities and Transborder Data Flows (ETS No. 181), dated 11 July 2016 and registered at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe on 13 July 2016. The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Additional Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, Regarding Supervisory Authorities and Transborder Data Flows neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, as party to that Protocol, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of the Republic of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Protocol. In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the content and purported effect of this Declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the Protocol. By such Declaration, the Republic of Turkey purports to evade its obligations under the Protocol vis-à-vis another equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Indeed, the Declaration prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Protocol. The Republic of Cyprus therefore strongly rejects the aforesaid Declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers such declaration to be null and void. The aforementioned objections by the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the Protocol, in their entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey. Regarding the Republic of Turkey’s pretension, as expressed in the same Declaration, that ”the Republic of Cyprus is defunct and that there is no single authority which in law or in fact is competent to represent jointly the Turkish Cypriots and the Greek Cypriots and consequently Cyprus as a whole“, the Republic of Cyprus would like to remind of the following: Despite, being, through binding international agreements, a guarantor of ”the independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus“ (Article II of the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee), the Republic of Turkey illegally invaded Cyprus in 1974 and continues since then occupying 36.2% of the territory of the Republic. The illegality of such aggression was made manifested by the U.N. Security Council Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984). Resolution 541’s operative paragraph 2 considers “the declaration [of the Turkish Cypriot authorities of the purported secession of part of the Republic of Cyprus] as legally invalid and “calls for its withdrawal”. Paragraph 6 then “calls upon all States to respect the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and non-alignment of the Republic of Cyprus” and further at par. 7 “calls upon all States not to recognize any Cypriot state other than the Republic of Cyprus”. Resolution 550, operative para. 2, also ”condemns all secessionist actions, including the purported exchange of Ambassadors between Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership, declares them illegal and invalid, and calls for their immediate withdrawal”. Para. 3 then “reiterates the call upon all States not to recognize the purported state of the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” set up by secessionist acts and calls upon them not to facilitate or in any way assist the aforesaid secessionist entity”. The European Court of Human Rights additionally, in its Judgment of 10th May 2001 on the Fourth Interstate Application of Cyprus v. Turkey, found, at para. 77, that Turkey, which has ”effective control over northern Cyprus“, is responsible for securing

all human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights and for violations of such rights by her own soldiers or officials, or by the local administration, which are imputable to Turkey. The responsibilities of the occupying power emanate from international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. … … …

A/RES/54/263

Declaration: Upon ratification of the Optional Protocol, on 6 April 2006, the Government of Cyprus stated the following: “The Government of the Republic of Cyprus wishes to reiterate its objection of 12th August 2003, with regard to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification.”

The objection reads as follows: "...The Government of the Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey upon ratifying the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography on 19 August 2002, in respect of the implementation of the provisions of the Convention only to the States Parties which it recognizes and with which it has diplomatic relations. In the view of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, this declaration amounts to a reservation. This reservation creates uncertainty as to the States Parties in respect of which Turkey is undertaking the obligations in the Convention and raises doubt as to the commitment of Turkey to the object and purpose of the said Optional Protocol. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus therefore objects to the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the Optional Protocol to the Convention of the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

This reservation or the objection to it shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey.”

The National Guard Law No.20 of 1964, as variously amended, most recently in 2006, hereinafter “The National Guard Law”, provides that the obligation to military service, in times of peace, begins on 1 January of the year the citizen becomes 18 years old. Although military service is compulsory for all Cypriot citizens, women and some categories of males (e.g. clergymen) are exempted from military service in times of peace. 2. The National Guard Law also provides for the voluntary enlistment of citizens under 18 years of age who have attained the age of 17 by the date of their recruitment in the armed forces. The acceptance of volunteers to Military Service requires special authorization from the Minister of Defense. Volunteers must have recent written consent from their parents or legal guardians. 3. The recruitment, on a voluntary basis, by the armed forces at the minimum age of 17 years shall continue to be permitted under the conditions and with the safeguards provided in Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Optional Protocol. 4. Proof of age prior to recruitment is presented through the application of Section 4A of the National Guard Law providing for mandatory registration for all citizens with the appropriate authorities in the District of their normal residence once they reach the age of 16. Section 4A of the Law specifies that the data must be submitted in a written form and include, among others, details on the place and date of birth. It is a punishable offence to submit erroneous data at the time of registration. 5. The Republic of Cyprus understands that Article 1 of the Optional Protocol would not prevent members of its armed forces to be deployed where: a. There is a genuine military need to deploy their unit to an area in which hostilities are taking place; and b. By reason of the nature and urgency of the situation: (i) it is not practicable to withdraw such persons before deployment; or (ii) to do so would undermine the operational effectiveness of their unit, and thereby put at risk the successful conduct of the military mission and / or the safety of other personnel.

The above understanding is all the more necessary under the circumstances prevailing nowadays in the Republic of Cyprus as a result of the continued illegal military occupation of 37% of its national territory by a foreign State, Party to the Optional Protocol.

The following objection to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification was made by Cyprus upon signature and confirmed upon ratification:

Objection (Original: English): “The Government of the Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, New York, 25 May 2000, on 4 May 2004, in respect of the implementation of the provisions of the Optional Protocol only to the States Parties which it recognizes and with which it has diplomatic relations. In the view of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, this declaration amounts to a reservation. This reservation creates uncertainty as to the States Parties in respect

of which Turkey is undertaking the obligations in the Protocol and raises doubt as to the commitment of Turkey to the object and purpose of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and of the said Protocol. The Government of the Republic of Cyprus therefore objects to the reservation made by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict. This reservation or the objection to it shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention on the Rights of the Child or the future entry into force of the said Protocol between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey.” The Protocol entered into force for Cyprus on 2 August 2010 in accordance with its article 10 (2) which reads as follows: "For each State ratifying the present Protocol or acceding to it after its entry into force, the present Protocol shall enter into force one month after the date of the deposit of its own instrument of ratification or accession."

The Republic of Cyprus would further like to state that its Constitution and laws uphold and safeguard effectively the principle of equality and non-discrimination on the ground of a person's community, race, religion, language, sex, political or other convictions, national or social descent, birth, colour, wealth, social class or any ground whatsoever.

Declaration made on behalf of the Republic of Cyprus on signature of the above Acts:

“The Turkish delegation for yet another time attempted to dispute the representation of the Republic of Cyprus by the legal postal administration of Cyprus at the 22nd UPU Congress.” “It is an undisputable fact that the postal administration of the Republic of Cyprus is the only internationally recognized administration on the island of Cyprus and a member of the UPU since 23 November 1961”. “There is only one state in Cyprus, the Republic of Cyprus which enjoys international recognition and is a member of the United Nations and other international organisations.” “The so-called ´TRNC´ is an illegal entity established by the Turkish occupation forces which invaded Cyprus in 1974 and till today they occupy 37 percent of its territory from which they have expelled all the Greek Cypriot lawful inhabitants.” “The illegal entity has been condemned by the international community and the UN Security Council in its resolutions 541/83 of 1983 and 550/84 of 1984 which calls inter alia, upon all states to respect the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, unity and non-alignment of the Republic of Cyprus and calls upon all states not to recognize the purported state of the ´TRNC´ set up by secessionist acts: it also calls upon them not to facilitate or in any way assist the aforesaid secessionist entity.” “The relevant texts are attached hereto.” UNSC Resolutions 541 (18 November 1983) and 550 (11 May 1984) attached to the Declaration.

Declaration of Cyprus related to the Protocol and to the Final Act, 8 October 2002: “Having in mind the persistent practice of the Government of Turkey to express reservations with regard to the participation and the representation of the Republic of Cyprus in international Conferences and to dispute the credentials of Cyprus´ delegations in such Conferences, the Delegation of the Republic of Cyprus wishes to make the following Declaration in connection with its participation in the Diplomatic Conference, on the occasion of the European Union’s accession to the EUROCONTROL International Convention: The Turkish positions, as expressed and repeated on various occasions, are in full disagreement with the relevant provisions of International Law as well as with specific provisions of mandatory United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Cyprus. Consequently, these positions do not affect in any way the status and the recognition of the Republic of Cyprus by the international community and the legitimacy of its

Government which has been consistently recognised by the United Nations, by all international organisations, all the members thereof and the whole international community as the sole legitimate representative of the people of Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus is a Member State of the United Nations since its independence in 1960. It is also a member of both ICAO and EUROCONTROL and in this capacity participates in all activities of these organisations. The Department of Civil Aviation of the Republic of Cyprus is recognised by both ICAO and EUROCONTROL as the sole legitimate Authority, responsible for matters relating to International Civil Aviation and the provision of ATC Services within the Nicosia Flight Information Region. As far as the so-called “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” is concerned, it is recalled that the Security Council of the United Nations, in its Resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984), inter alia, condemned the purported secession of part of the Republic of Cyprus, considered its “unilateral declaration of independence” as “legally invalid” and called for its withdrawal, called upon all states not to recognise any Cypriot state other than the Republic of Cyprus and “not to facilitate or in any way assist the aforesaid secessionist entity”. Moreover, it “condemns all secessionist actions, including the purported exchange of Ambassadors between Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot leadership, declares them illegal and invalid and calls for their immediate withdrawal”. It should also be noted that the illegal entity set up in the northern occupied part of Cyprus is not recognised by any other country or international organisation. The Delegation of the Republic of Cyprus kindly requests that this Declaration be circulated as an official document of the Diplomatic Conference.”

Objection contained in a Note Verbale from the Permanent Representation of Cyprus, dated 26 July 2016, registered at the Secretariat General on 29 July 2016 - Or. Engl. The Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (CETS No. 197), registered at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe on 2 May 2016.

The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Convention against Trafficking in Human Beings neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, as party to that Convention, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of the Republic of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Convention.

In the view of the Republic of Cyprus, the content and purported effect of this declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention. By such declaration, the Republic of Turkey purports to evade its obligations under the Convention vis-à-vis another equal and sovereign State Party, namely the Republic of Cyprus. Such declaration is incompatible with the principle that inter-State reciprocity has no place in the context of human rights treaties. Furthermore, it prevents the realization of cooperation between State Parties foreseen by the Convention.

The Republic of Cyprus therefore strongly rejects the aforesaid declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers such declaration to be null and void. The aforementioned objections by the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention, in its entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey.

Declaration: “Ratifying the Final Acts of the Regional Radiocommunication Conference the Republic of Cyprus would like to declare that it is regrettable that the Government of the Republic of Turkey refused to engage in any technical coordination with the Republic of Cyprus during the Conference and has chosen, instead, to politicize a purely technical issue through its declaration (Document 174/Rev.1). The position of the delegation of the Republic of Turkey and the Declaration submitted in signing the Acts raise doubts as to the commitment of the Republic of Turkey to the objectives and purpose of the ITU and to the obligations arising from the Convention/Constitution. Furthermore, it is doubtful as to whether Turkey considers itself bound by international law and mandatory UN Security Council Resolutions. With reference to its declaration to the Conference (Document 175-E), the Government of the Republic of Cyprus considers necessary for Turkey to start cooperating with the Republic of Cyprus in the frame of the Constitution and Convention of the International Telecommunication Union”.

Reservation - Or. Eng.: “Whereas the Persons with Disabilities Law, as this has been harmonized with the Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for

equal treatment in employment and occupation, prescribes in section 3A thereof that the said Law shall not apply as regards employment: (a) to the armed forces, to the extent that the nature of the work requires special abilities which cannot be exercised by persons with disabilities, and (b ) to occupational activities where by reason of the nature or the context in which they are carried out, a characteristic or an ability which is not possessed by a person with a disability, constitutes a genuine and determining occupational requirement, provided that the objective is legitimate and the requirement is proportionate, taking into account the possibility of adopting reasonable measures, the Republic of Cyprus declares that it ratifies the Convention with a reservation in respect of Article 27(1) of the Convention, to the extent that the provisions thereof are in conflict with the provisions of section 3A of the Persons with Disabilities Law.”

Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities New York, 13 December 2006 Entry into force 3 May 2008 Ratified by Cyprus 27 June 2011 Depositary: Secretary-General of the United Nations COG S.I(III) 4144, 04.03.2011, p. 260; Law No. 8(III)/2011

Declaration by Turkey of 29 March 2015 - Or. English and Turkish: “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 - Or. Eng.: “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.”
