Autriche
16 décembre 1998
Having regard to the reservation to Article 36, 2(b) made by Viet Nam upon accession:
Austria considers that the reservation in question raises doubts as to its compatibility with the object and purpose of the Convention, in particular with regard to the fundamental principle that perpetrators of drug trafficking offences must be brought to justice, wherever they may be. Failure to accept this principle would undermine the effectiveness of the [said] Convention.
Austria therefore objects to the reservation made. This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force of the Convention between Austria and Viet Nam..

17 décembre 1998
Having regard to the reservation to Article 36 2 (b) made by Viet Nam upon accession:
The United Kingdom is not in a position to accept [the reservation] in question.
This objection does not constitute an obstacle to the entry into force [of the said Convention] between Viet Nam and the United Kingdom..

Suède
14 décembre 1998
Having regard to the reservation to Article 36, 2(b) made by Viet Nam upon accession:
The Government of Sweden considers that the reservation concerning Article 36, paragraph 2 (b) may cast doubt on the willingness of the Government of Vietnam to comply with the object and purpose of the Convention.
It is in the common interest of States that treaties to which they have chosen to become parties are respected as to their object and purpose by all parties, and that States are prepared to make such changes in their legislation as may be necessary to fulfil their obligations under such treaties.
Furthermore, under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 23 May 1969 and well-established rules of customary international law, a reservation incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty is not permitted. The Government of Sweden therefore objects to the said reservations made by the Government of Vietnam.
[ This objection does not preclude the entry into force [of the Convention] in question between Viet Nam and Sweden.
[ This Convention ] will therefore take effect between the two States without Viet Nam being able to invoke the reservations in question.
