Objection with regard to the reservation made by Libya upon ratification: (6 February 2019)
"The Kingdom of Belgium has carefully examined the reservation made by the State of Libya on the occasion of the ratification, on 13 February 2018, of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Kingdom of Belgium considers that the reservation to article 25 (a) of the Convention is incompatible with the object and purpose of the said Convention. This reservation has the effect of subjecting the application of this provision of the Convention to its compatibility with Islamic Sharia law and the laws of the State of Libya. The Kingdom of Belgium considers that this reservation tends to limit the liability of the State of Libya under the Convention through a general reference to national laws and Islamic Sharia.
As a result, it is uncertain as to which extent the State of Libya commits to the object and purpose of this provision.
The Kingdom of Belgium recalls that, under the first paragraph of article 46 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, no reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention concerned is permitted. Accordingly, the Kingdom of Belgium objects to the reservation made by the State of Libya in respect of article 25 (a) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Belgium specifies that this objection does not preclude the entry into force of the said Convention between the Kingdom of Belgium and the State of Libya."
Objection with regard to the reservation made by Brunei Darussalam upon ratification: (11 April 2017)
"The Kingdom of Belgium has carefully examined the reservation made by the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam upon ratification on 11 April 2016 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Kingdom of Belgium considers that this reservation regarding the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is as a whole incompatible with the object and purpose of the said Convention.
This reservation effectively subordinates the application of all the provisions of the Convention to their compatibility with the Constitution of Brunei Darussalam, and to the beliefs and principles of Islam. The Kingdom of Belgium considers that such a reservation seeks to limit the responsibilities of the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam under the Convention through a general reference to national law and Islam without specifying its contents.
This results in uncertainty about the extent of the commitment of the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam to the object and purpose of the Convention.
Belgium recalls that, under article 46, paragraph 1 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention are not permitted. Consequently, Belgium objects to the reservation formulated by the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam concerning all the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Belgium specifies that this objection does not constitute an impediment to the entry into force of the Convention between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam."
反对关于马来西亚在批准时作出的保留:(2011年6月28日)
“比利时已经仔细审查了马来西亚2010年7月19日在加入《残疾人权利公约》时作出的保留。
马来西亚不认为其受到《公约》第十五条和第十八条的约束,其作出的保留的模糊性和笼统性,可能导致破坏国际人权条约的基础。
比利时进一步指出,就第十五条——关于禁止酷刑,这是一个绝对保护——和第十八条作出的保留,涉及《公约》的根本条款,有悖于该文书的目标和宗旨。
比利时指出,根据《公约》第四十六条第(一)款,保留不得与《公约》的目标和宗旨不符。此外,根据习惯国际法,如《维也纳条约法公约》规定的,保留不得与条约的目标和宗旨不合(第十九条丙款)。
因此,比利时反对马来西亚关于《残疾人权利公约》第十五条和第十八条提出的保留。
这项反对不妨碍《公约》在比利时王国和马来西亚之间生效。

反对伊朗伊斯兰共和国加入时作出的声明(2010年6月28日):
“比利时已经审查了伊朗伊斯兰共和国加入《残疾人权利公约》时作出的声明。伊朗伊斯兰共和国不认为其受到《公约》中被视为可能不符合伊朗法律的任何条款的约束,其作出的这一保留的模糊和笼统性,使伊朗伊斯兰共和国对《公约》的承诺的程度是不确定的,因而引起了对其根据《公约》履行义务的承诺的严重怀疑。这一性质不明的保留可能导致破坏国际人权条约的基础。因此,这一保留应被视为有悖于《公约》的目标和宗旨。比利时回顾,根据《维也纳条约法公约》第十九条丙款,保留不得与条约目的及宗旨不合。这项反对不妨碍《公约》在伊朗伊斯兰共和国和比利时之间生效。
