Contracting Parties Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Hungary

Dates Signature: March 30, 2007 Ratification: July 20, 2007 Entry into force: May 3, 2008

Declarations, Reservations

Objection with regard to the declaration made by Libya upon ratification: (15 February 2019)
"The Government of Hungary has examined the declaration made by Libya upon ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities done in New York on 13 December 2006.
Hungary is of the view that by declaring to interpret Article 25 (a) in a manner that does not contravene the Islamic sharia and national legislation, Libya has in fact made a declaration of a general and indeterminate scope that amounts to a reservation.
This reservation raises doubts as to the extent of Libya's commitment to meet its obligations under the Convention and contravenes the very purpose of the Convention, that is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity.
Hungary considers the aforementioned reservation inadmissible as it is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention, and objects to it. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between Hungary and Libya. The Convention will thus continue to be operative between the two States without Libya benefitting from its reservation."

Objection with regard to the reservation made by Brunei Darussalam upon ratification: (13 April 2017)
"The Government of Hungary has examined the Reservation of the Government of Brunei Darussalam to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the time of its ratification of the Convention.
The Government of Hungary considers that by referring to the Constitution of Brunei Darussalam and to the beliefs and principles of Islam Brunei Darussalam has made a reservation of a general and indeterminate scope which leaves it unclear to what extent it feels bound by the obligations of the Convention.
Therefore, the Government of Hungary considers the reservation to be incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.
The Government of Hungary recalls that according to customary international law as codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, a reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of a treaty shall not be permitted.
The Government of Hungary therefore objects to the aforesaid Reservation made by the Government of Brunei Darussalam to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, this objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between Hungary and Brunei Darussalam."

Objection with regard to the reservation made by Malaysia upon ratification: (1 August 2011)
"The Government of the Republic of Hungary has examined the reservations made by Malaysia on 19 July 2010 upon ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 13 December 2006, with regard to Articles 15 and 18 of the Convention.
The Government of the Republic of Hungary is of the view that Articles 15 and 18 of the Convention address core human rights values that are not only reflected in several multilateral treaties, such as the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights but also form part of the international customary law.
In consequence, according to Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, which is a treaty and customary norm, these reservations shall not be permitted as they are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.
Therefore, the Government of the Republic of Hungary objects to the reservations made by Malaysia to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by General Assembly of the United Nations on 13 December 2006, with regard to Articles 15 and 18.
This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Hungary and Malaysia."
