*DECLARATIONS/RESERVATIONS/DENUNCIATIONS/WITHDRAWLS
Ecuador:
(Declaration made at the time of signature)
The Republic of Ecuador signs the present Inter-American
Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance without reservations, because
it understands that other instruments and the principles of
international law do not bar the revision of treaties, either
by agreement between the Parties or by the other pacific means
consecrated by international law itself.
(Declaration made at the time of ratification)
With the declaration made at the time of signature.
Honduras:
(Reservation made at the time of signature)
The Delegation of Honduras, in signing the present Treaty
and in connection with Article 9, section (b), does so with the
reservation that the boundary between Honduras and Nicaragua is
definitively demarcated by the Joint Boundary Commission of
nineteen hundred and one, starting from a point in the Gulf of
Fonseca, in the Pacific Ocean, to Portillo de Teotecacinte and,
from this point to the Atlantic, by the line that His Majesty
the King of Spain's arbitral award established on the
twenty-third of December of nineteen hundred and six.
(Reservation made at the time of ratification)
With the reservation made at the time of signature.
Nicaragua:
(Reservation made at the time of signature)
The Delegate of Nicaragua, in signing the present Treaty,
and with respect to the reservation made by the Delegation of
Honduras on signing it and to the provisions of Article 9 (b),
does so with the reservation that the boundary between
Nicaragua and Honduras from the point known by the name of
Portillo de Teotecacinte to the Atlantic Ocean has not been
definitively drawn, by virtue of the fact that the royal Award
rendered by His Majesty the King of Spain on December
twenty-third, nineteen hundred six, has been impugned and
protested by Nicaragua as nonexistent, null, and void.
Consequently, the signing of this Treaty by Nicaragua may not
be alleged as acceptance of arbitral awards that Nicaragua has
impugned or whose validity is not definite.
(Reservation made at the time of ratification)
With the reservation made at the time of signature.
Guatemala:
(Reservation made at the time of ratification)
The present Treaty poses no impediment whatever to
Guatemala's assertion of its rights over the Guatemalan
territory of Belize by whatever means it considers most
appropriate; a Treaty that may at any time be invoked by the
Republic with respect to the aforesaid territory.*/
*/ With respect to this reservation, the Pan American Union
consulted the signatory governments, in accordance with the
procedure established by paragraph 2 of Resolution XXIX of the
Eighth International Conference of American States, to
ascertain whether they found it acceptable or not. A number of
replies being unfavorable, a second consultation was made
accompanied, at the request of the Government of Guatemala, by
a formal declaration of that Government to the effect that its
reservation did not imply any alteration in the Inter-American
Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, and that Guatemala was ready
to act at all times within the bounds of international
agreements to which it was a party. In view of this
declaration, the States that previously had not found the
reservation acceptable now expressed their acceptance.
