There is no provision stipulated in the International Covenant on the Civil and Political Rights about the issue of reservation, which means that cont racting states are allowed to make reservation or interpretative declaration conforming to the object and purpose of the Covenant. It is often deemed unacceptable of the reservation to the peremptory article of the Covenant, as well as the indistinct or general reservation. It is not suitable to make any reservation to the peremptory articles of the Covenant, but interpretative declaration is permissible. To the non-peremptory articles of the Covenant, both reservation and interpretative declaration are permissible. Reservation and interpretative declaration by each state are made from its own count ries'situation, indicating the particularity of the international protection of human rights. |
