Accession

On 28 October 1966 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics deposited its instrument of accession to the Convention. As the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics does not exist anymore and since the Russian Federation according to its declaration contained in its Note of 13 January 1992 to the Heads of the Diplomatic Representations at Moscow (see under Declarations) continues to perform the rights and fulfil the obligations following from the international agreements signed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the depositary has asked the Russian Federation to let him know whether this declaration applies also to the present Convention and, in the affirmative, to inform him of the adaptations to be made in the communication of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of 17 September 1966.
