Objection with regard to the declaration made by Pakistan upon signature (March 17, 2005):
"The Government of Denmark has examined the declaration made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan upon signing the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
The application of the provisions of the said Covenant has been made subject to the provisions of the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This general formulation makes it unclear to what extent the Islamic Republic of Pakistan considers itself bound by the obligations of the Covenant and therefore raises doubt as to the commitment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the object and purpose of the Covenant.
The Government of Denmark considers that the declaration made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the international Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in substance constitutes a reservation and that this reservation is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Covenant.
For the above-mentioned reasons, the Government of Denmark objects to this declaration made by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This objection does not preclude the entry into force of the Covenant between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Denmark without Pakistan benefiting from her declaration."
In a communication received on January 14, 1976, the Government of Denmark notified the Secretary-General that it withdraws its reservation made prior with regard to article 7(a)(i) on equal pay for equal work.
Declaration made upon ratification:
"The Government of Denmark cannot, for the time being, undertake to comply entirely with the provisions of article 7(a)(i) on equal pay for equal work and article 7(d) on remuneration for public holidays."
