The case was also mentioned of a treaty prohibiting any reservations except those expressly authorized by it it was felt that such a situation should be covered by the draft guidelines.

In draft article 4, the Special Rapporteur had made the intention of the parties to a treaty the main yardstick for ascertaining its susceptibility to termination or suspension.

Draft guidelines for streamlined reporting on the basis of an expanded core document and targeted treaty specific reports were prepared in 2004 and commented on by treaty bodies, Member States, NGOs and other stakeholders.

Indeed, such reservations were contrary to the object and purpose of the treaty, which was exactly what draft guideline 3.1.7 said.

Lastly, draft article 11 might trigger controversy over whether the Security Council could order the termination or suspension of treaty obligations.

According to another view, draft article 18 seemed contrary to the Commission's original intention of giving precedence to special treaty provisions, such as those contained in investment protection treaties, over the draft articles.

The 2005 Review Conference welcomes the outcome of the Tashkent meeting, held from 7 to 9 February 2005, which finalized the agreed draft treaty on a nuclear weapon free zone in Central Asia, and also the designation of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic as depositary of the treaty.

Mr. Carriedo (Spain) (spoke in Spanish) As today the First Committee will at last take a decision on draft resolution A C.1 60 L.8, entitled African Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Treaty the Treaty of Pelindaba the delegation of Spain would like to reiterate its appeal that the record reflect the fact that Spain's explanation of position on this draft resolution was made at the Committee's 20th meeting, on Wednesday, 26 October 2005.

The view was also expressed that the draft guideline was not really necessary because a reservation contrary to jus cogens would be automatically incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty.

At its 2859th meeting, held on 28 July 2005, the Commission decided to send draft guidelines 3.1 (Freedom to formulate reservations), 3.1.1 (Reservations expressly prohibited by the treaty), 3.1.2 (Definition of specified reservations), 3.1.3 (Reservations implicitly permitted by the treaty) and 3.1.4 (Non specified reservations authorized by the treaty) to the Drafting Committee.

In August 2005, the General Fono had agreed to hold a referendum on self government, enacted a set of rules for the referendum, and authorized the Council for Ongoing Government to negotiate a final draft of the treaty.

With regard to draft guideline 3.1.9, the view was expressed that there might be cases in which a reservation to a provision setting forth a rule of jus cogens was possible and not necessarily incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty for reasons identical to those put forward in the case of customary rules (draft guideline 3.1.8).

Draft article 7 would prove highly controversial, given its attempt to outline the categories of treaty that were likely to remain in force during armed conflicts.

To them, it appeared that a determination would have to be made as to whether the provisions of a special treaty were consistent with the draft articles, which could give rise to a degree of uncertainty and conflicts of interpretation.
