Declarations under articles 287, 298, and 310 made upon ratification

“1. The Kingdom of Cambodia reserves the right to make at an appropriate time the declaration provided for in article 287 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea concerning the settlement of disputes.
2. With regard to article 298, the Kingdom of Cambodia does not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention with respect to all the categories of disputes referred to in subparagraphs ..., 1 (b) and (c) of that article.
3. With regard to article 310, the Kingdom of Cambodia declares as follows:
(a) The ratification of the Convention by the Kingdom of Cambodia shall not be interpreted as recognition of the maritime claims of any other State which are inconsistent with or contrary to the sovereignty, sovereign rights or jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
(b) The Kingdom of Cambodia objects to and is not bound by any declaration or position that any other State has made, or may make, excluding or modifying the legal scope of the provisions of the Convention, or by any domestic law or regulation that is inconsistent with or contrary to the sovereignty, sovereign rights or jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Cambodia. With respect to any other declaration, statement or position which any other State has made, or may make, the Kingdom of Cambodia does not consider itself bound by such declarations and reserves the right, as necessary, to determine its position with regard to each of them at an appropriate time.
(c) The Kingdom of Cambodia emphasizes its sovereignty over its internal waters and territorial sea, and its sovereign rights and jurisdiction in the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of Cambodia, based on the provisions of the Convention and other rules of international law, and calls on other countries to respect the above-said rights of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
(d) The Kingdom of Cambodia reaffirms that the provisions of the Convention concerning innocent passage through the territorial sea shall not prejudice the right of a coastal State to require, in accordance with its laws and regulations, foreign warships, nuclear-powered ships and ships carrying nuclear or other inherently dangerous or noxious substances or materials to obtain advance approval from, or give prior notification to, the coastal State for passage through the territorial sea of the coastal State.
(e) The Kingdom of Cambodia understands that the provisions of the Convention do not authorise other States to carry out in the exclusive economic zone or on the continental shelf military exercises or manoeuvres, in particular, those involving the use of weapons or explosives, without the consent of the coastal State.
(f) The Kingdom of Cambodia understands that the provisions of Article 301 prohibiting “any threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the principles of international law embodied in the Cha[r]ter of the United Nations”, apply, in particular, to the maritime areas under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of the coastal State.”

The diplomatic immunities and privileges provided for in article 37, paragraph 2, of the afore-mentioned Convention, recognized and admitted in customary law and in the practice of States in favour of heads of missions and members of diplomatic staff of the mission, cannot be granted by the Royal Government of Cambodia for the benefit of other categories of mission staff, including administrative and technical staff.

Declaration made upon accession:

“In accordance with Article 1, Paragraph 5, concerning the application of UN regulations, the Government of Kingdom of Cambodia shall not be bound by any Regulations annexed to the Agreement, as amended, until such time as it provides further notification.”

The Royal Government of Cambodia expresses its intention of availing itself of the provisions of article 19 of the Protocol.

In accepting the Convention on the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization, the Royal Government of Cambodia declares that the measures it has adopted or may adopt for giving encouragement or assistance to its national shipping and shipping industries (such, for instance, as loan-financing of national shipping companies at reasonable or even concessional rates of interest, or the allocation to Cambodian ships of cargoes owned or controlled by the Royal Government, or the reservation of coastal trade for national shipping) and such other matters as it may adopt with the object of promoting the development of its own national shipping, are consistent with the purposes of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization as defined in article 1 (b) of the Convention.
Accordingly, the Royal Government will proceed to a re-examination, before they are put into effect, of any recommendations relating to this subject that may be adopted by the Organization.
The Royal Government further declares that its acceptance of the above-mentioned Convention neither has nor shall have the effect of altering or modifying in any way the law in force in the territory of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
