VI of that Protocol enters into force.

     (Declaration made at the time of ratification)                           
                                                                              
     Considering the opinion of the Brazilian Government, which               
was stated at the time of signing the international acts                      
referred to, (Convention and Protocol) the present instrument                 
of ratification will be deposited with the understanding that
