IP Treaties Collection
Contracting Parties International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Italy

Dates Signature: January 18, 1967 Ratification: September 15, 1978 Entry into force: December 15, 1978

Declarations, Reservations

Objection with regard to the reservation and statement made by Qatar upon accession: (May 21, 2019)
"The Government of the Italian Republic has carefully examined the reservation and statement by the State of Qatar with regard to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 16 December 1966.
Both the reservation to Article 3 and the statement concerning Article 8 make the application of these provisions of the Covenant subject to the Islamic Sharia or national legislation. The statement concerning Article 8 is thus of its nature also a reservation.
The Government of the Italian Republic is of the opinion that by making the application of Article 3 and Article 8 of the Covenant subject to the Islamic Sharia or national law, the State of Qatar has submitted reservations which raise doubts concerning the extent to which it intends to fulfil its obligations under the Covenant.
The above-mentioned reservations are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Covenant and are accordingly not permitted under customary international law, as codified in Article 19 sub-paragraph (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 23 May 1969. The Italian Republic thus objects to these reservations.
This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Covenant between the Italian Republic and the State of Qatar."

Objection with regard to the declarations and the reservation made by Kuwait upon accession (July 25,1997):
"The Government of Italy considers these reservations to be contrary to the object and the purpose of this International Covenant. The Government of Italy notes that the said reservations include a reservation of a general kind in respect of the provisions on the internal law.
The Government of Italy therefore objects to the aforesaid reservations made by the Government of Kuwait to the [said Covenant].
This objection does not preclude the entry into force in its entirety of the Covenant between the State of Kuwait and the Italian Republic."
