    The Government of the Republic of Indonesia is bound by the provisions of Article 1 on the scope of public documents in the Convention with a declaration statement that provided that the documents issued by the prosecutor office as the prosecuting body in the Republic of Indonesia, are not included in public documents whose requirements of legalization have been abolished as set forth in this Convention.

    Bezwaar Frankrijk, 05-10-2022

    The Government of the French Republic has carefully examined the declaration made by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia on 5 October 2021 upon Indonesia’s accession to the Convention abolishing the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents of 5 October 1961 (hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”). The declaration, according to which the Government of the Republic of Indonesia is bound by the provisions of Article 1 defining public documents for the purposes of the Convention on the condition that documents emanating from the office of the prosecutor in its capacity as the prosecuting body of the Republic of Indonesia are not included among the public documents for which the requirement of legalisation has been abolished under the Convention, amounts to a reservation insofar as it seeks to limit the legal effect of Article 1 of the Convention with regard to the Republic of Indonesia. Under Article 1(2) of the Convention, documents emanating from a public prosecutor are deemed to be public documents, unless they have been executed by diplomatic or consular agents or concern administrative documents dealing directly with commercial or customs operations. The prosecutor is an authority or an official falling under the jurisdiction of the State, and consequently the documents issued by the prosecutor in this capacity must be considered public documents under the Convention within the meaning of Article 1. Any reservation excluding these documents from the abolition of the requirement of legalisation substantively restricts the material field of application of the Convention and for this reason is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention. The French Republic therefore objects to the reservation made by the Republic of Indonesia. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the French Republic and the Republic of Indonesia.
