About this statute

This preamble says Colombia approves a convention and its four protocols on prohibitions and restrictions for certain conventional weapons. This article says the convention and its annexed protocols apply to the situations referred to in common Article 2 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, including situations described in paragraph 4 of Article 1 of Additional Protocol I. La disposición indica que la convención y sus protocolos no deben interpretarse para reducir otras obligaciones de las Altas Partes Contratantes bajo el derecho internacional humanitario aplicable en conflictos armados. The convention is open for signature by all States at UN headquarters in New York for 12 months starting 10 April 1981. The convention needs ratification, acceptance, or approval by signatories; non-signatory states may accede; instruments must be deposited with the Depositary.
