Dates Signature: March 30, 2007 Ratification: May 11, 2016 Entry into force: June 10, 2016

Declarations, Reservations

Objection with regard to the declaration made by Libya upon ratification: (29 November 2018)
"The Government of Finland is pleased to learn that the State of Libya has become party to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, the Government of Finland has carefully examined the declaration made by the State of Libya upon ratification, and is of the view that it raises certain concerns. In fact, the declaration amounts to a reservation that purports to subject the application of one of the Convention's provisions to Islamic sharia and national legislation.
Reservation of such an indeterminate and general scope as that made by Libya is incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and as such one that is not permitted. This reservation does not clearly define for the other States Parties the extent to which Libya has accepted the obligations of the Convention. Therefore Finland objects to it.
This objection shall not preclude the continued validity of the Convention between the Republic of Finland and the State of Libya. The Convention will thus continue to operate between the two states without Libya benefitting from the aforementioned reservation."
