15-12-1956
At the time of signing the Second Protocol to the General Agreement on Privileges
and Immunities of the Council of Europe, opened to signature on 15 December 1956 at
Paris, I declare on behalf of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that
my signature shall be valid only for the parts of the Kingdom to which apply or shall
apply the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms signed
at Rome on 4 November 1950 and the Protocol signed at Paris on 20 March 1952.
03-01-1986
The island of Aruba, which is at present still part of the Netherlands Antilles, will
obtain internal autonomy as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as of
1 January 1986. Consequently the Kingdom will from then on no longer consist of two
countries, namely the Netherlands (the Kingdom in Europe) and the Netherlands Antilles
(situated in the Caribbean region), but will consist of three countries, namely the
said two countries and the country Aruba.
As the changes being made on 1 January 1986 concern a shift only in the internal constitutional
relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as the Kingdom as such will remain
the subject under international law with which treaties are concluded, the said changes
will have no consequences in international law regarding to treaties concluded by
the Kingdom which already apply to the Netherlands Antilles, including Aruba. These
treaties will remain in force for Aruba in its new capacity of country within the
Kingdom. Therefore these treaties will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom
of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles (without Aruba) and Aruba.
Consequently the treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands
is a Party and which apply to the Netherlands Antilles, will as of 1 January 1986
as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands apply to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
