The Vienna regime applied to all multilateral treaties, including human rights treaties.

51. With regard to reservations to treaties, he believed that, while the Vienna regime required a thorough re examination, there was no reason to formulate a separate regime for human rights treaties.

Preservation of the integrity of the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons regime

Accountability is a key element of the Treaty regime, which can be made stronger and more transparent through adherence by all States parties to the strengthened safeguards system pursuant to article III of the Treaty, in order to provide assurances of compliance with article II.

Japan adheres to all the international disarmament and non proliferation treaties and regimes on weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, as well as those on conventional arms and has been making active efforts to reinforce them.

In our view, its completion constitutes a prerequisite to entry into force as required by the first paragraph of article 4 of the Treaty.

8. Coordination between the special procedures system and the treaty bodies

Despite its flaws, the Treaty remained the cornerstone of the international non proliferation and disarmament regimes, and its credibility and effectiveness were based on its universality.

Certainly the questions related to the NPT regime and CTBT are most relevant.

That is part and parcel of the strengthening of the NPT regime.

There was therefore no need at present to establish a regime specific to some normative treaties, including human rights treaties, even if there were lacunae and ambiguities in the Vienna regime.

Any initiatives aimed at strengthening the non proliferation regime must not restrict the rights of States parties to the Treaty under article IV.

13. Concerning the Vienna regime and the politically sensitive subject of human rights treaties, it was not surprising that the proliferation of that type of treaty had led to calls for a specific regime, in the light of the ambiguities in the Vienna regime.

SYSTEM AND THE TREATY BODIES

3. Coordination between the special procedures system and the treaty bodies

Poland has always underlined the importance of the process of strengthening the IAEA safeguards system, considering the additional protocols to be integral parts of the IAEA safeguards system for the treaty and mandatory for State parties to the Treaty.

It encouraged the Commission to adopt a guide to practice in respect of reservations with model clauses consistent with the Vienna regime on the law of treaties, which was sound, flexible and applicable to all categories of treaties, including human rights treaties.

The nuclear non proliferation regime is equipped with a number of acts of international law, like the Non Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

Treaties prevail over domestic laws in the Greek legal order, but the Court held that the Treaty of Athens was no longer in force.

It agreed with other delegations which had spoken previously that it was necessary to preserve the integrity and unity of the Vienna regime and that that regime should apply to all treaties, including normative multilateral treaties, and especially human rights treaties.

The NPT regime must be strengthened through universal accession to the Treaty and full compliance with its articles IV and VI.

Third, the process of strengthening the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the cornerstone of the nuclear non proliferation regime and an integral part of the international security system, is well under way.

Reaffirm the importance of the human rights treaty system

Work to support the reform of the treaty body system also continued.

We continue to support the steady reinforcement of the CTBT verification regime in order to maintain momentum for the Treaty's entry into force.

That means we want to see the CTBT verification system put in place and the Treaty come into force.

The regime should be developed on the basis of existing treaties, in particular with regard to liability.

Japan considers that an effective verification system is essential for an FMCT.

Dozens of multilateral treaties had been adopted in various fields under that regime.

V. COORDINATION BETWEEN THE SPECIAL PROCEDURES SYSTEM AND THE TREATY BODIES 34 43 12

While the membership of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) has steadily grown to 176 signatories, and while its international monitoring system continues to be built up into a modern verification regime with global reach, the Treaty's legal entry into force remains frustratingly out of reach.
