Objection with regard to the reservation and statement made by Qatar upon accession: (May 14, 2019)
"Hungary has examined the reservation and statement made by the State of Qatar upon ratification of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights done in New York on 16 December 1966.
The reservation to Article 3 of the Covenant make[s] the application of this provision subject to the Islamic Sharia. The statement to Article 8 of the Covenant make[s] the application of this provision subject to the national legislation. Hungary considers the statement to Article 8 made by the State of Qatar by its nature also as a reservation.
Hungary is of the view that making the application of Article 3 of the Covenant subject to the Islamic Sharia and Article 8 of the Covenant subject to the national legislation raises doubts as to the extent of Qatar's commitment to meet its obligations under the Covenant and are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Covenant, that is to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights by all individuals.
Hungary considers the aforementioned reservations inadmissible as they are not permitted under Article 19 sub-paragraph (c) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, thus objects to these reservations. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Covenant between Hungary and the State of Qatar. The Covenant will thus become operative between the two States without the State of Qatar benefitting from its reservations."
批准时的声明：
“匈牙利人民共和国总统委员会声明，《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第48条第1款和第3款的规定以及《经济、社会、文化权利国际公约》第26条第1款和第3款的规定违反了公约的普遍性。根据各国主权平等这一原则，它认为，公约应当开放给所有国家加入，没有任何歧视和限制。”

These discriminatory provisions are incompatible with the objectives and purposes of the Covenants."
