COMMUNICATION
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the Convention on International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG) was adopted in London on 20 October 1972.
The Charter on the access of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic to the Convention on International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, was deposited with the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation, depositary of the Convention, on 7 April 1977.
When accessing the Convention, a statement was made "that the provisions of Article II (2) of the Convention on International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea (LONDON 1972) do not allow certain States to become parties to the Convention. It therefore considers that this Convention should be open to all countries concerned in accordance with the principle of equal sovereignty of States.
The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic also considers it necessary to state that the provisions of Article III of this Convention relating to the extension of its validity to the territories for whose international relations the Party to this Convention is responsible are contrary to the Declaration of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the Providing of Independence to Colonial Countries and Nations (Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960), which declares the necessity of a swift and unconditional end to colonialism in all its forms and speeches. '
The Convention entered into force on 15 July 1977 on the basis of its Article IV (1) and entered into force, in accordance with the provisions of the same Article (2), for the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
The rules annexed to the Convention on International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, replaced, with effect from 15 July 1977, the International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1960, which entered into force for the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic on 1 September 1965.
On 19 October 1993 the Czech Republic notified the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation that, in accordance with the applicable principles of international law, the successor State of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic was to be regarded as bound by the Convention on International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG), 1972, of 20 October 1972, as amended and amended, including a declaration with effect from 1 January 1993. The Czech Republic withdrew the declaration on Article II (2) and Article III by its notification to the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation on 6 July 1995.
The text of the Convention can be consulted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Transport.
