(a) The reservation is prohibited by the treaty

Although the reservation explicitly only referred to matters which have already been examined by the European Commission of Human Rights, it was clear from the Committee's jurisprudence that the reservation also applied to cases in which the European Court has previously examined the same matter.

The question arose whether that was a reservation, since by definition a reservation was that which restricted or excluded the obligations of the State party.

Reservation, withdrawal and Amendment

China stated in its reservation that it was not bound by article 35, paragraph 2.

But according to the draft guidelines on reservations to treaties issued by the International Law Commission, a reservation by a State after expressing its consent to be bound by a treaty was valid only if the other contracting parties raised no objection.

Where the treaty authorizes certain reservations without specifying them, a reservation may be formulated by a State or an international organization only if it is compatible with the object and purpose of the treaty.

The freedom to formulate a reservation, mentioned in draft guideline 3.1, was not absolute and its exercise was limited by the compatibility of the reservation with the object and purpose of the treaty.

In any case, the reserving State could always withdraw or modify an incompatible reservation, or withdraw from the actual treaty if its consent to be bound by that treaty depended on the reservation.

Any State which has made a reservation in accordance with paragraph 2 of the present article may at any time withdraw that reservation by notification to the Secretary General of the United Nations.

In addition, by its nature a treaty could require that a reservation should be unanimously accepted.
