III. METHODS OF WORK OF THE COMMITTEE UNDER ARTICLE 40 OF THE COVENANT: OVERVIEW OF PRESENT WORKING METHODS

D. Implementation of the Covenant in new States that constituted parts of former States parties to the Covenant

 

...

 

49. At its forty-seventh session, in March/April 1993, the Committee envisaged, in broader terms, the problems raised in connection with the implementation of the Covenant in former States parties to the Covenant. It considered that all the peoples within the territory of a former State party to the Covenant remained entitled to the guarantees of the Covenant, and that, in particular, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were bound by the obligations under the Covenant as from the dates of their independence. Consequently, it noted that reports under article 40 of the Covenant became due one year after that date and requested, in notes verbales dated 28 May 1993 addressed to the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of those States, that such reports be submitted to it. 14/ No reports have yet been sent to the Committee in reply to that request. However, since the closure of the Committee's forty-seventh session, Armenia, Georgia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia acceded to the Covenant.
