<1> This Convention entered into force on 17 December 1975.

Declarations and Reservations

South Sudan (see letter LA/DEP/2016/016)
b) Other declarations and reservations:
Iraq
(Translation) «Entry into the above Convention by the Republic of Iraq shall, however, in no way signify recognition of Israel or be conducive to entry into relations with it.» (CL/2367, 19 April 1974)
Oman [at time of acceptance]
(Translation) «The acceptance of the Convention does not imply the recognition of the State of Israel and that no treaty relations will arise between the Sultanate of Oman and Israel.» (LA/Depositary/1981/32 of 23 January 1982)
Israel
The Director General received a communication dated 22 March 1982 from the Permanent Delegation of Israel concerning the above-mentioned declaration by the Government of Oman:
«The instrument deposited by the Government of Oman contains a declaration of a political character in respect to Israel. In the view of the Government of the State of Israel, this Convention is not the proper place for making such political pronouncements, which are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the principles and purposes of the Convention.»
This Declaration by the Government of Oman cannot, in any way, affect whatever obligations are binding upon Oman under general international law or under particular conventions. The Government of the State of Israel will, in so far as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Government of Oman an attitude of complete reciprocity.» (LA/Depositary/1982/12 of 21 April 1982).
On 31 January 2012, the Director-General received a communication dated 17 January 2012 from the Permanent Delegation of Israel to UNESCO containing the following declaration:
«The Embassy of the State of Israel presents its compliments to the Secretariat of UNESCO and has the honour to refer to the notification regarding the accession of „Palestine“ to the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972.»
The Government of the State of Israel objects to that accession as it contradicts Article II of the Constitution of UNESCO as well as the established norms and practices of International Law.
The Government of the State of Israel requests that the Secretariat of UNESCO communicate the aforesaid objection of the State of Israel to all State Members of the Convention and include this declaration in its electronic or other publications.
The Embassy of the State of Israel avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Secretariat of UNESCO the assurances of its highest consideration.» [Original: English]
Syrian Arab Republic
(Translation) «The accession of the Syrian Arab Republic to the Convention adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO at its seventeenth session on 16 November 1972 and its ratification by the Syrian Arab Government do not mean in any way its recognition of Israel and cannot result in the establishment of a direct contact with it that might be stipulated by the said Convention.»
The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic views that the obligation emanated in Article 4 covers the occupied Arab territories and consequently, the Israeli occupation authorities are under obligation to preserve the cultural and natural heritage existing in the occupied territories in view of the fact that occupation does not eliminate sovereignty and that the occupation authorities are considered internationally responsible for any attenuation of the cultural and natural heritage even if Israel has not acceded to the Convention.
The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic views that paragraph 3 of Article 6 binds in its obligations therein contained the authorities occupying territories by force.
The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic views that the international cooperation system stipulated in Article 7 binds the Member States to exert all possible aid to the State whose part of its territories is occupied for the sake of preserving the natural and cultural heritage in the occupied territories against the aggressions of the occupying authorities.» (See letter CL/2491 of 23 October 1975.)

Notes
(1) On 13 November 1999, the Director-General received a letter from the State Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal notify him that: «In accordance with the Joint Declaration of the Government of the Portuguese Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the Question of Macau signed on 13 April 1987, the Portuguese Republic will continue to have international responsibility for Macau until 19 December 1999 and from that onwards the People's Republic of China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Macau with effect from 20 December 1999. From 20 December 1999 onwards the Portuguese Republic will cease to be responsible for the international rights and obligations arising from the application of the above-mentioned Convention to Macau» (LA/DEP/1999/18).
(2) With regard to this declaration by the United Kingdom, the Government of Argentina by a communication dated 26 November 1984 declared that: «the Argentine Republic rejects the extension of the application of the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted in Paris on 16 November 1972 by the General Conference of UNESCO, to the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich, of which the Director General of UNESCO was notified by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 29 May 1984, and reaffirms its rights of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich, which form an integral part of its national territory. The United Nations General Assembly has adopted resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9 and 38/12, in which it recognizes the existence of a sovereignty dispute relating to the question of the Malvinas Islands and urges the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom to conduct negotiations in order to find as soon as possible a peaceful and lasting solution to the dispute through the good offices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations who should inform the General Assembly of the progress achieved». As a result of this declaration, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland indicated that they «have no doubt as to their right, by notification to the Depositary under the relevant provisions of the treaty in question, to extend its application to the Falkland Islands and to the Falklands Islands Dependencies. The Government of the United Kingdom are therefore unable to regard the Argentine communication referred to above as having any legal effect.» (see LA/DEP/1985/16 of 5 August 1985).
(3) On 30 June 1997, the Director-General received from the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the following notification «...in accordance with the Joint declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong signed on 19 December 1984, the Government of the United Kingdom will restore Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China with effect from 1 July 1997. The Government of the United Kingdom will continue to have international responsibility for Hong Kong until that date. Therefore, from that date the Government of the United Kingdom will cease to be responsible for the international rights and obligations arising from the application of the [above-mentioned] Convention to Hong Kong» (see letter LA/DEP/1997/17).
