The Republic of Armenia makes the following statement with regard to the declaration made by the Republic of Azerbaijan in respect of the Council of Europe Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism /hereinafter Convention/, stated in the instrument of ratification deposited on 9 August 2017:

1. The declaration of the Republic of Azerbaijan is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and thus being in violation with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969.

2. The Republic of Azerbaijan deliberately misrepresents the essence of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, with respect to the causes and effects of the conflict. The conflict arose due to the policy of ethnic cleansing by the Republic of Azerbaijan followed by the massive military aggression against the self-determined Nagorno-Karabakh Republic — with the aim to repress the free will of the Nagorno-Karabakh population. As a result, the Republic of Azerbaijan has occupied several territories of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

Communication transmitted by a Note verbale from the Permanent Representation of Monaco to the Council of Europe, dated 21 October 2020, registered at the Secretariat General on 22 October 2020 — Or. Fr.

The Principality of Monaco wishes to make reservations to the Council of Europe Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism, done in Warsaw on 16 May 2005 (CETS No. 198).

The Permanent Representation wishes to begin by recalling that the Principality did not wish to make a reservation or declaration at the time of ratification, considering that, in view of the stipulations of Article 7 of the Convention and the study of positive Monegasque law at the time of the said ratification, the application of Article 7 of the Convention, entitled «Investigative powers and techniques», did not require the enactment of new standards, the modification of existing legislative provisions or the making of a reservation.

However, it should be noted that in the context of the work of the Conference of the Parties, the latter came to the opposite conclusion. To this end, it based its analysis on the provisions of Articles 87, 91 and 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, provisions which the Conference of Parties considered to be «general».

This Representation wishes to point out that, with regard to the monitoring, for a given period, of banking operations carried out on one or more identified accounts, the Monegasque authorities have taken into consideration the ordinary law system in terms of criminal procedure, relating to the powers of the examining magistrate.

However, while for the Monegasque Authorities, the scope of application of these standards allowed, precisely because of its «general» scope, for a compliant application of Article 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c, of the Convention, the Conference of Parties has, on the contrary, considered — drawing from this same «generality» of diametrically opposed consequences — that «the general rules could be interpreted differently, in the absence of case-law specifically referring to the supervision of banking operations», as a result of which «the rapporteurs cannot conclude that Article 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c, of the Convention is correctly applied in Monaco».

In any event, this Permanent Representation stresses that the Monegasque Authorities wish to recall the Principality's attachment to comply with all the obligations of this Convention.

Monaco intends to ensure that all necessary measures continue to be taken, in domestic law, to give effect to the provisions of this Convention and to ensure its effective application. In this respect, the Principality is considering changes to its domestic law to ensure and recognise the conformity of Monegasque law with the objectives pursued by Articles 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c, and 19 of the Convention.

Observing nevertheless that, pending a reform of its domestic law, the Principality of Monaco fears, in the meantime, that it will not be able to apply the above-mentioned treaty provisions in a way which was assessed by the Conference of Parties as being in conformity with the interpretation given by the latter, the Monegasque Authorities therefore wish to avail themselves of the conclusions of the International Law Commission, formalised in the framework of its Guide to Practice on reservations to treaties (adopted by the International Law Commission at its sixty-third session, in 2011, and submitted to the General Assembly as part of its report on the work of that session (A/66/10), § 2.3.). In this respect, the Monegasque Authorities wish to indicate that, while a priori Article 53 of the Convention seems to allow reservations to be formulated only at the time of signature or when depositing the instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession, a State could nevertheless formulate a reservation to a treaty after expressing its consent to be bound by that treaty if none of the other Contracting States objects (cf. the aforementioned Guide, spec. § 2.3.). The said Guide further specifies that the late formulation of a reservation would be deemed to have been accepted if no contracting State has objected to such formulation by the end of the 12 months following the date on which it was notified of it (ibid., § 2.3.1.). These are the elements in support of which late reservations to certain Council of Europe conventions have been formulated without raising any opposition (see the commentary of the International Law Commission on guideline 2.3, document A/66/10/Add.l., para. 15, p. 195).

This Permanent Representation indicates that Monaco would thus like to make reservations after ratification of the above-mentioned Convention, in particular with regard to Articles 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c, and 19, provided that no State Party has objected to this formulation by the end of the twelve months following the date on which it received notification.

In the light of these considerations, the Principality would like to make the following reservations:

«In accordance with Article 53, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco reserves the right not to apply Article 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c.»;

«In accordance with Article 53, paragraph 3, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that it will apply Article 19 only on condition that it withdraws its reservation to Article 7, paragraph 2, sub-paragraph c.».

In addition, the Permanent Representation of the Principality of Monaco to the Council of Europe indicates that, in continuity with its Note verbale dated 30 March 2020, by which the Principality of Monaco designated, in accordance with Article 33, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Direction des Services Judiciaires as its central authority — in place of the Service d'Information et de Contrôle sur les Circuits Financiers (SICCFIN) which had been designated by the declaration deposited with the instruments of ratification on 23 April 2019 -, it appeared that for this new central authority, the Principality had to make the declarations envisaged by Articles 24, paragraph 3, 31, paragraph 2, 35, paragraph 3, and 42, paragraph 2, of the Convention.

Consequently, as the Directorate of Judicial Services was only appointed after the ratification of the Convention, this Representation indicates that the Principality would like to make the following late declarations, which could not be made at the time of the deposit of the instrument of ratification for the above-mentioned reasons:

«In accordance with Article 24, paragraph 3, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that Article 24, paragraph 2, shall apply subject to the principles of the Monegasque constitutional law and the fundamental concepts of the Monegasque legal system;»

«In accordance with Article 31, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that it will apply the provisions of the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters and that the judicial acts referred to in Article 31, paragraph 2, will be notified only through the „central authority“ on mutual assistance in criminal matters;»

«In accordance with Article 35, paragraph 3, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that all applications and supporting documents must be accompanied by a translation into French;»

«In accordance with Article 42, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that information or evidence provided by it under Chapter IV of the Convention may not, without its prior consent, be used or transmitted by the Authorities of the requesting Party for purposes of investigations or proceedings other than those specified in the request.»

Furthermore, the Permanent Representation of the Principality of Monaco to the Council of Europe indicates that the analysis carried out by the Directorate of Judicial Services, the central authority designated after ratification of the Convention, leads the Principality, in the current state of its law, to be unable to fully apply the requirements prescribed by Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Consequently, in order to comply fully with these requirements, the Representation indicates that the Principality would like to make use of the option offered by Article 9, paragraph 4, by making the following reservation, which could not, for the above-mentioned reasons, be made at the time of the deposit of the instrument of ratification:

«In accordance with Article 9, paragraph 4, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that Article 9, paragraph 1, shall apply only to the offences related to the laundering of proceeds of crime and predicate offences established by Articles 218 to 218-3 of the Criminal Code and to the laundering of proceeds of drug trafficking as provided for and punishable under Articles 4-lb, 4-3 and 4-4 of Law No. 890 of 1 July 1970 on narcotic drugs, as amended.»

Finally, the Permanent Representation of the Principality of Monaco to the Council of Europe indicates that the Principality would like to make two interpretative declarations in relation to Articles 17 and 18 of the Convention.

The Guide to Practice on Reservations to Treaties (cf. the aforementioned Guide, § 2.4.4) specifies that where a treaty does not provide that interpretative declarations must be formulated at specified times, they may be formulated at any time.

Consequently, the Principality would like to take advantage of this possibility to formulate the following interpretative declarations:

«In accordance with Article 17, paragraph 6, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that the measures governed by Article 17 do not apply to accounts held by non-bank financial institutions;»

«In accordance with Article 18, paragraph 5, of the Convention, the Principality of Monaco declares that the measures governed by Article 18 shall not apply to accounts held by non-bank financial institutions.».

Communication contained in a Note verbale from the Permanent Representation of the Netherlands, dated 27 September 2010, registered at the Secretariat General on 28 September 2010 — Or. Engl.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands currently consists of three parts: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles consists of the islands of Curaçao , Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.

With effect from 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist as a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. From that date onwards, the Kingdom will consist of four parts: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Curaçao and Sint Maarten will enjoy internal self-government within the Kingdom, as Aruba and, up to 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles do.

These changes constitute a modification of the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will accordingly remain the subject of international law with which agreements are concluded. The modification of the structure of the Kingdom will therefore not affect the validity of the international agreements ratified by the Kingdom for the Netherlands Antilles: these agreements, including any reservations made, will continue to apply to Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

The other islands that have until now formed part of the Netherlands Antilles — Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba — will become parts of the Netherlands, thus constituting «the Caribbean part of the Netherlands». The agreements that now apply to the Netherlands Antilles will also continue to apply to these islands; however, the Government of the Netherlands will now be responsible for implementing these agreements.

In addition, a number of the agreements that currently apply to the Netherlands are hereby declared applicable, from 10 October 2010, to this Caribbean part of the Netherlands. The agreements concerned are listed in the Annex which also includes a declaration — regarding Protocol No. 4 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms securing certain rights and freedoms other than those already included in the Convention and in the first Protocol thereto — on the modification of the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom.

A status report of the agreements that apply to Curaçao , Sint Maarten and/or the Caribbean part of the Netherlands, including any reservations and further declarations, will be supplied in the near future.

Communication contained in Note verbale No. 144/n from the Permanent Representation of the Russian Federation to the Council of Europe, dated 30 December 2021, registered at the Secretariat General on 30 December 2021 — Or. Engl.

Reaffirming its firm commitment to respect and fully comply with generally recognised principles and rules of international law, the Russian Federation, with reference to the declaration of Ukraine of 16 October 2015 regarding the Convention of 2005 on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism, states the following.

The Russian Federation rejects the above-mentioned declaration of Ukraine and states that it cannot be taken into consideration as it does not reflect the reality and is based on a bad faith and incorrect presentation and interpretation of facts and law.

The Russian Federation does not exercise effective control over «certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts» and is not a party to the conflict in South-East Ukraine.

The declaration of independence of the Republic of Crimea and its voluntary accession to the Russian Federation are the result of a direct and free expression of will by the people of Crimea in accordance with democratic principles, a legitimate form of exercising their right to self-determination given an aided from abroad violent coup d'Etat in Ukraine which caused rampant radical nationalist elements not hesitating to use terror, intimidation and harassment against both its political opponents and the population of entire regions of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation rejects any attempts to call into question an objective status of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the territories of which are an integral part of the territory of the Russian Federation under its full sovereignty. Thus, the Russian Federation reaffirms that it fully complies with its international obligations under the Convention in relation to this part of its territory.

In February 2014 the Russian Federation launched armed aggression against Ukraine and occupied a part of the territory of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, and today exercises effective control over certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine. These actions are in gross violation of the Charter of the United Nations and constitute a threat to international peace and security. The Russian Federation, as the Aggressor State and Occupying Power, bears full responsibility for its actions and their consequences under international law.

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/68/262 of 27 March 2014 confirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The United Nations also called upon all States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to recognize any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

In this regard, Ukraine states that from 20 February 2014 and for the period of temporary occupation by the Russian Federation of a part of the territory of Ukraine — the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol — as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation committed against Ukraine and until the complete restoration of the constitutional law and order and effective control by Ukraine over such occupied territory, as well as over certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine as a result of the aggression of the Russian Federation, the application and implementation by Ukraine of the obligations under the above Conventions, Protocols, Agreement, as applied to the aforementioned occupied and uncontrolled territory of Ukraine, is limited and is not guaranteed.

Documents or requests made or issued by the occupying authorities of the Russian Federation, its officials at any level in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and by the illegal authorities in certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine, are null and void and have no legal effect regardless of whether they are presented directly or indirectly through the authorities of the Russian Federation.

The provisions of the Conventions, Protocols, Agreement regarding the possibility of direct communication or interaction do not apply to the territorial organs of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as well as in certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, which are temporarily not under control of Ukraine. The order of the relevant communication is determined by the central authorities of Ukraine in Kyiv.
