declaration made by the Government of Uruguay upon ratification of the Rome Statute of
the International Criminal Court.
The Government of Norway notes that the interpretative declaration purports to
limit the application of the Statute within national legislation, and therefore constitutes a

no reservations may be made to the Statute.
The Government of Norway therefore objects to the reservation made by the
Government of Uruguay upon ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Statute in its
entirety between the Kingdom of Norway and Uruguay. The Statute thus becomes operative
between the Kingdom of Norway and Uruguay without Uruguay benefiting from the
reservation."
