"The
Government
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Netherlands
has
examined
the
reservations
made
by
the
Government
of
Niger
regarding article
2,
paragraphs
(d)
and
(f),
article
5,
para-
graph
(a),
article
15,
paragraph
4 and
article
16,
paragraph
1
(c),
(e)
and
(g)
of
the
Conven-
tion
on the
Elimination
of
All
Forms
of
Discrimination
against
Women
made
at the
time
of
its
accession
to
the
said
Convention.
The
Government
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Netherlands
is
of
the
view
that
these
reserva-
tions
which
seek
to
limit
the
obligations
of
the
reserving
State
by
invoking
its
national
law,
may raise
doubts
as
to
the
commitment
of
Niger
to
the
object
and
purpose
of
the
Conven-
tion and,
moreover,
contribute
to
undermining
the
basis
of
international treaty
law.
The
Government
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Netherlands
recalls
that
according
to
para-
graph
2
of
Article
28
of
the
Convention,
a
reservation
incompatible
with
the
object
and
pur-
pose
of
the
Convention
shall
not
be
permitted.
It
is
in
the
common interest
of
States
that
treaties
to
which
they have
chosen
to
become
party
are
respected,
as
to
their
object
and
purpose, by
all
parties
and
that
States
are
prepared
to
undertake
any legislative
changes
necessary
to
comply
with
their obligations under
the
treaties.
The
Kingdom
of
the
Netherlands
therefore
objects
to the
afore-said reservations
made
by the
Government
of
Niger
to
the
Convention
on
the
Elimination
of
All Forms
of
Discrim-
ination
against
Women.
This
objection
shall
not preclude
the
entry into force
of
the
Con-
vention
between
the
Kingdom
of
the
Netherlands and
Niger."

Le
Gouvernement
du

considbre
que
ces
r6serves
par
lesquelles
le
Niger
cherche
i
limiter
les
obligations
que lui
impose
la
Convention
en
invoquant
son

peuvent
faire
douter
de
l'engagement
de

de
l'objet

du

de
la

et
risquent
en

de

ventionnel.
Le
Gouvernement
du

des

que
le
paragraphe
2
de
l'article
28
de
la
Convention
dispose
qu'aucune
r6serve
incompatible

le

ne
sera

I1
est
de
l'intrt

que
les

ils
ont
d6cid6
de
devenir
parties
soient
respect6s,
quant
a

En cons6quence,
