The Argentine Republic reaffirms its sovereignty over these islands and the surrounding maritime spaces, which constitute an integral part of its national territory.

<a id="p100070"></a>"The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have noted the declaration of the Government of Argentina regarding the extension by the United Kingdom of the application of the Convention to the Falkland Islands and to South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
<a id="p100071"></a>The British Government have no doubt about the sovereignty of the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands and over South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and their consequential right to defend the said Convention to these Territories. The British Government reject as unfounded the claims by the Government of Argentina."

<a id="p100075"></a>III. Declarations, Reservations and Statements

<a id="p100076"></a>Bulgaria
<a id="p100077"></a>The instrument of acceptance of the People's Republic of Bulgaria contained the following declarations:
<a id="p100078"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100079"></a>"(a) The People's Republic of Bulgaria declares that the provisions of article 16 of the Convention are in contradiction with the principle of sovereign equality of States and are not in line with the internationally adopted practice of concluding international treaties of universal significance;
<a id="p100080"></a>"(b) The People's Republic of Bulgaria declares that the provisions of article 20 of the Convention concerning its application by the States Parties on the territories of the international relations of which they are responsible, do not correspond to the Declaration of the United Nations General Assembly
<a id="p100081"></a>on Granting Independence to Colonial Countries and People's (resolution 1514(XV)) of December 14, 1960."

<a id="p100082"></a>Chile
<a id="p100083"></a>The instrument of accession of the Republic of Chile contained the following reservation (in the Spanish language):
<a id="p100084"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100085"></a>"...amendments referred to in article 18 of the Convention shall not be binding on Chile until such time as it has brought into operation the internal procedure established by the Political Constitution of the Republic for the approval of international treaties".

<a id="p100086"></a>China
<a id="p100087"></a>The instrument of accession of the People's Republic of China contains the following declaration:
<a id="p100088"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100089"></a>"[The Government of the People's Republic of China] wish to declare illegal and null and void the signing of the Convention by the Authorities in Taiwan in the name of China."

<a id="p100090"></a>Cuba
<a id="p100091"></a>The instrument of accession of the Republic of Cuba contained the following declarations (in the Spanish language):
<a id="p100092"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100093"></a>"The Government of the Republic of Cuba considers that the provisions contained in article 2(3), article 3(1)(b) and article 20 of the Convention, to the extent that they accept that the international relations of any territory may be the responsibility of another Government, are not applicable in that respect because they are contrary to the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (resolution 1514 adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 14 December 1960), which proclaims the necessity of bringing to a speedy and unconditional end colonialism in all its forms and manifestations.
<a id="p100094"></a>"The Government of the Republic of Cuba considers that article 16(1) of the Convention, despite the fact that its provisions deal with questions of interest for all States, is of a discriminatory nature in that it withholds from a number of States the right of signature and accession, which is contrary to the principle of universality."

<a id="p100095"></a>Czechia
<a id="p100096"></a>The instrument of accession of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic was accompanied by the following declaration (in the English language):
<a id="p100097"></a>"Acceding to the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic wished to declare that article 16 of the Convention is at variance with the generally recognized principle of sovereign equality of States, and article 20 with the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, adopted at the XVth session of the United Nations General Assembly on 14 December 1960."
