Israel
9 September 1998
With regard to declarations made by Lebanon upon accession:
"...The Government of Israel refers in particular to the political declaration "[see declaration "1" made under "Lebanon"] made by the Lebanese Republic on acceding to the [said] Convention.
"In the view of the Government of Israel, this Convention is not the proper place for making declarations of a political character. The Government of Israel will, in so far as concerns the substance of the matter adopt towards the Lebanese Republic an attitude of complete reciprocity.
"Moreover, in view of the Government of Israel, the Lebanese understanding of certain of the Convention's provisions [see declaration "2" made under "Lebanon"] is incompatible with and contradictory to the object and purpose of the Convention and in effect defeats that object and purpose."
Italy
27 March 2007
With regard to the interpretative declaration made by the Islamic Republic of Iran upon accession:
"The interpretative declaration made by Iran would limit the scope of application of the Convention to exclude acts that otherwise constitute the offence of "taking of hostages" under article 2, if they meet the test of "legitimate struggle of peoples under colonial domination and foreign occupation in the exercise of their right of self-determination". The interpretative declaration does not limit the obligations of Iran under the Convention with regard to article 1. Italy wishes to make clear that it opposes any and all interpretations of the Convention that would limit its scope of application, and does not consider the declaration made by Iran to have any effect on the Convention. Italy thus regards the Convention as entering into force between Italy and Iran without the interpretative declaration made by Iran."
