NOTES

1. Resolution 211 (III). Official Records of the General Assembly, Third Session, Part I, Resolutions (A-810), p. 62.

2. The Republic of Viet-Nam had succeeded to the Protocol on 11 August 1950. In this regard and in regard to the succession by the Lao People's Democratic Republic, see note 19 in chapter VI.2.

3. See note concerning signature, ratifications, accessions, etc., on behalf of China (note 4 in chapter I.1).

4. Czechoslovakia had signed and ratified the Protocol on 19 November 1948 and 17 January 1950, respectively. See also note 11 in chapter I.2.

5. See note 14 in chapter I.2.

6. In a communication received on 22 January 1960, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany stated that the Protocol "also applies to Land Berlin as from 12 September 1959, i.e., the day on which the Protocol entered into force for the Federal Republic of Germany".

With reference to the above-mentioned statement, communications have been addressed to the Secretary-General by the Governments of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, on the one hand, and by the Governments of the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America, on the other hand. The said communications are identical in essence, mutatis mutandis, to the corresponding ones referred to in note 4 in chapter III.3.

Subsequently, in a communication received by the Secretary-General on 3 October 1990, the Government of Hungary indicated that, the German State having achieved its unity on this day (3 October 1990), it had decided to withdraw, as from that date, the declaration it had made with respect to the notification of extension by the Federal Republic of Germany to Land Berlin. See also note 5 above.

7. The formality was effected by the Yemen Arab Republic. See also note 33 in chapter I.2.
