On 12 January 2011, the Secretary-General of the United

United Kingdom and Northern Ireland the following
communication relating to an objection to the reservation made
by Yemen upon accession:
The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland has examined the said reservation and
considers that it is contrary to the object and purpose of the
Convention, namely the suppression of the financing of all
terrorist acts. The Government of the United Kingdom recalls
that, according to Article 19 (c) of the Vienna Convention on
the Law of Treaties 1961, a reservation incompatible with the
object and purpose of the Convention shall not be permitted.
The Government of the United Kingdom therefore objects to
the aforesaid reservation. This objection shall not preclude the
entry into force of the Convention as between the United
Kingdom and Yemen.
