In the event of a dispute it was for the competent legal bodies to assess and decide on the permissibility of a given reservation.

Recognizing the competence of monitoring bodies to comment and make recommendations on the permissibility of reservations need not prevent States parties from extending the monitoring bodies competence to determine permissibility in the future.

Furthermore, she strongly favoured the adoption by the Commission of the doctrine of permissibility.

11. The problem of permissibility was not, however, confined to the criterion of the compatibility of reservations with the object and purpose of a treaty there remained the question of who was competent to determine permissibility.

Conversely, the English term permissibility (and not admissibility ) adequately defined the content of article 19.

For other examples and for a discussion of the permissibility of this practice, see below.

Furthermore, the terms permissibility impermissibility could be misleading, given their relationship to the topic of State responsibility.

23. The Special Rapporteur considers that control of the permissibility of reservations is the primary responsibility of the States parties.

In any case, the bodies had a consultative function, and the determination of the permissibility of reservations was a prerogative of States.

However, the cruelty of the death row phenomenon is first and foremost a function of the permissibility of capital punishment under the Covenant.

The permissibility of exercising diplomatic protection should not depend on circumstances that could be objectively established only at the stage of examination of the merits.

Lastly, it should encourage States parties to new multilateral treaties, including human rights treaties, to include in them provisions specifically addressing the permissibility of reservations.

In recent years, those bodies had started to assess the permissibility of reservations formulated by States to the instruments under which they had been established.

It saw merit in the use of validity instead of admissibility or permissibility in respect of reservations running counter to the object and purpose of the treaty.

Some human rights treaty monitoring bodies tended to set themselves up in judgement over the permissibility of reservations by States, but legally they were on shaky ground.

Such monitoring bodies should be authorized to determine the permissibility of reservations only if such authority had been expressly conferred on them by the treaty in question.

While their tendency to determine the permissibility of reservations could be justified on political grounds, from the legal point of view it clearly exceeded their competence unless such power was conferred by the constituent instrument of the regime in question. He saw no contradiction between paragraphs 5 and 7 of the Commission s Preliminary Conclusions.

Some States had gone so far as to challenge the right of the human rights treaty monitoring bodies to take a position on the permissibility of reservations to treaties.

The monitoring bodies could express an opinion on the permissibility of a reservation but they could not declare it null and void or draw the consequences of their determination.

The debate moves on to an entirely different level, however, if the question becomes the permissibility of a given reservation under the treaty itself or under international law in general.

In his tenth report (A CN.4 558 and Add.1), the Special Rapporteur had proposed using the term validity instead of controversial terms such as permissibility , admissibility and opposability .

The Special Rapporteur clearly preferred the words validity invalidity , which were entirely neutral, to the other terms proposed, such as admissibility inadmissibility , permissibility impermissibility or opposability non opposability , which had strong doctrinal connotations.

It was also pointed out that the very concept of the validity of an act was one of the requirements for its legality or its permissibility and that it retained the necessary neutrality.

With regard to draft guidelines 1.6 and 2.1.8 (already adopted), the Commission could replace the word permissibility with validity in the former and the word impermissible with the word invalid in the latter.

Referring to the Special Rapporteur's tenth report (A CN.4 558 and Add.1), he noted that the idea of the validity of reservations was applied in the context of the admissibility permissibility of reservations.

11. In considering the permissibility of reservations, a delicate balance needed to be struck between the compatibility of a reservation with the object and purpose of a treaty and the consensual nature of the instrument.

The importance of the vexed terminological issue of the use of validity versus permissibility might have been overstated the answer might become clear once the overall structure of that part of the draft guidelines was complete.

It was crucial that, in future, conventions and normative instruments, including human rights instruments, should expressly define the advisory role to be played by monitoring bodies with respect to the permissibility of reservations made by States.

Although Sir Derek Bowett had urged the Commission to use the terms permissible impermissible and the Commission had initially followed his lead, the Special Rapporteur thought that a reservation could be valid or invalid on grounds other than permissibility .

Cameroon agreed with the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on Reservations to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which stated that permissibility was for the States parties alone to determine.

It operates three schemes that respectively provide legal representation (the Duty Lawyer Scheme), legal advice (the Legal Advice Scheme) and legal information (the Tel Law Scheme).
