Here is a summary of the final notes provided regarding the conventions and treaties relating to narcotic drugs, as well as the actions of the States parties. :
Reference to the League of Nations Treaty Series : This note refers to the League of Nations Treaty Series, vol. 198, page 299. For more detailed information regarding a particular treaty or convention, it is advisable to consult that specific volume..
About China : This note suggests consulting note 1 under "China" in the "Historical Information" section of the front matter of the volume for information relating to signatures, ratifications, accessions, etc., made on behalf of China. This may include details of China's participation in various agreements or conventions..
Note regarding the Czech Republic and Slovakia : For further information on the Czech Republic and Slovakia, please consult note 1 under these countries in the "Historical Information" section of the front matter of the volume. These notes may contain information on state transitions and the continuity of legal obligations under treaties after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
Denunciation by Pakistan : On 9 July 1965, the Secretary-General received a notification of denunciation from the Government of Pakistan. However, it is important to note that Pakistan had not formally notified its succession to the Convention. In accordance with the international practice followed by the Secretary-General as depositary of multilateral treaties, Pakistan was therefore not considered a Party to the Convention. Consequently, the denunciation has no legal effect since Pakistan was not formally bound by the Convention.
Ratification by Spain : This note states that Spain has ratified the 1936 Convention in its unamended version. However, after the definitive signature of the Protocol of 11 December 1946, which amended several agreements, conventions and protocols on narcotic drugs, Spain became a party to the 1936 Convention as amended by the 1946 Protocol. This means that Spain is legally bound by the amended version of the 1936 Convention after having ratified the modifications introduced by the 1946 Protocol.
These endnotes provide important context on how the treaties have been amended, ratified, or denounced by different States, and illustrate the complex framework of international obligations relating to narcotics.
