KIRIBATI Sample Clauses

KIRIBATI. On July 12, 1979, the Xxxxxxx Islands became the independent state of Kiribati. Referring to the status of conventions, treaties and other international instruments applied to, or entered into on behalf of the Xxxxxxx Islands by the United Kingdom prior to independence, the Xxxxxxxxxxx (President) of Kiribati, in a note dated September 11, 1979, to the Secretary- General of the United Nations, made a state- ment reading in part as follows: ‘‘The Government of the Republic of Kiribati desires that questions of succession to such conventions, treaties and other international in- struments be governed by accepted rules of international law and by the relevant principles contained in the Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties, done at Vienna on 23 August 1978. Accordingly, the Government of the Republic of Kiribati declares that, with regard to multilateral treaties applied or ex- tended to the former Xxxxxxx Islands it will continue to apply the terms of each such treaty provisionally and on the basis of reciprocity until such time as it notifies the depositary au- thority of its decision with respect thereto. With regard to bilateral treaties applied or ex- tended to, or entered into on behalf of, the former Xxxxxxx Islands, the Government of the Republic of Kiribati declares that it will exam- ine each such treaty and communicate its views to the other State Party concerned. In the meantime the Government of the Republic of Kiribati will continue to observe the terms of each such treaty, which validly so applies and is not inconsistent with its advent to inde- pendence, provisionally and on a basis of reci- procity.’’ AVIATION Agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom concerning air services, with annexes and exchange of letters.
