What was that old song Drinking Rum and Coca Cola working for the Yankee
Dollah.......
So here we have it, organized crime, about to reorganize crime.
This article is almost laughable......wonder can we get Meyer Lansky and
these Mafia Dons or whatever they call them on any Geneva Conference
Violations - War Criminals, fighting over all that good stuff the kind
of stuff that makes a man like Marc Rich, Meyer Lansky, Bronfman, and
Larry Flynt billion and millionaires?
Nice story here.......and to think I have their bible.

1. The Government of the United States of America reserves the right to
impose, for purpose of internal control and control of import into, and
export from, territory under its jurisdiction, of opium, coca leaves,
all of their derivatives and similar substances produced by synthetic
process, measures stricter than the provisions of the Convention.
2. The Government of the United States of America reserves the right to
impose, for purposes of controlling transit through its territories of
raw opium, coca leaves, all of their derivatives and similar substances
produced by synthetic process, measures by which the production of an
import permit issued by the country of destination may be made a
condition precedent to the granting of permission for transit through
its territory.
3. The Government of the United States of America finds it impracticable
to undertake to send statistics of import and export to the Permanent
Central Opium Board short of 60 days after the close of the three-months
period to which such statistics refer.
4. The Government of the United States of America finds it impracticable
to undertake to state separately amounts of drugs purchased or imported
for Government purposes.
5. Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America formally declare
that the signing of the Convention for limiting the Manufacture and
regulating the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs by them on the part of the
United States of America on this date is not to be construed to mean
that the Government of the United States of America recognises a
régime or entity which signs or accedes to the Convention as the
Government of a country when that régime or entity is not recognised
by the Government of the United States of America as the Government of
that country.
6. The plenipotentiaries of the United States of America further declare
that the participation of the United States of America in the Convention
for limiting the Manufacture and regulating the Distribution of Narcotic
Drugs, signed on this date, does not involve any contractual obligation
on the part of the United States of America to a country represented by
a régime or entity which the Government of the United States of

Romania (April 11th, 1933)
Salvador (April 7th, 1933 a)
(a) The Republic of Salvador does not agree to the provisions of Article
26, on the ground that there is no reason why the High Contracting
Parties should be given the option of not applying the Convention to
their colonies, protectorates, and overseas mandated territories.
(b) The Republic of Salvador states that it disagrees with the
reservations embodied in Nos. 5 and 6 of the Declarations made by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States of America regarding Governments
not recognised by the Government of that country; in its opinion, those
reservations constitute an infringement of the national sovereignty of
Salvador, whose present Government, though not as yet recognised by the
United States Government, has been recognised by the majority of the
civilised countries of the world. Their recognition is due to their
conviction that that Government is a perfectly constitutional one and
affords a full and complete guarantee of the performance of its
international duties, inasmuch as it enjoys the unanimous, decided and
effective support of all the inhabitants of the Republic, whether
citizens of the country or foreigners resident therein.
As it respects the internal régimes of other nations, the Republic of
Salvador considers that the Convention in question, being of a strictly
hygienic and humanitarian character, does not offer a suitable occasion
to formulate such political reservations as have called forth this
comment.

2 On 3 October 1983, the Secretary-General received from the Government
of Argentina the following objection:
[The Government of Argentina makes a] formal objection to the
[declaration] of territorial extension made by the United Kingdom with
regard to the Malvinas Islands and (dependencies), which that country is
illegally occupying and refers to as the "Falkland Islands".
The Argentine Republic rejects and considers null and void the [said
declaration] of territorial extension.
With reference to the above-mentioned objection the Secretary-General
received, on 28 February 1985, from the Government of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland the following declaration:
[For the text of the declaration see note chapter IV.1.]
3 See note concerning signatures, ratifications, accessions, etc. on
behalf of China (note in chapter I.1).
4 See note in chapter I.2.
5 Before ratifying the Convention with the declaration here set out, the
Japanese Government consulted the Contracting Parties, through the
intermediary of the Secretary-General. A summary of the correspondence
which took place was published in the League of Nations Official Journal
for September 1935 (16th Year, No. 9).
6 The Swiss Federal Political Department, by a letter dated July 15th,
1936, informed the Secretariat of the following:
"Under the terms of the arrangements concluded between the Government of
the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Swiss Government in 1929 and
1935, in application of the Customs Union Treaty concluded between these
two countries on March 29th, 1923, the Swiss legislation on narcotic
drugs, including all the measures taken by the Federal authorities to
give effect to the different international Conventions on dangerous
drugs, will be applicable to the territory of the Principality in the
same way as to the territory of the Confederation, as long as the said
Treaty remains in force. The Principality of Liechtenstein will
accordingly participate, so long as the said Treaty remains in force, in
the international Conventions which have been or may hereafter be
concluded in the matter of narcotic drugs, it being neither necessary
nor advisable for that country to accede to them separately."
7 In a notification received on 21 February 1974, the Government of the
German Democratic Republic stated that the German Democratic Republic
had declared the re-application of the Conventions as from 7 April 1958.
In this connection, the Secretary-General received on 16 March 1976, the
following communication from the Government of the Federal Republic of
Germany:
With reference to the communication by the German Democratic Republic of
31 January 1974 concerning the application, as from 7 April 1958, of the
Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating the Distribution
of Narcotic Drugs of 13 July 1931, the Government of the Federal
Republic of Germany declares that in the relations between the Federal
Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic this declaration
has no retroactive effect beyond 21 June 1973.
Subsequently, in a communication received on 17 June 1976, the
Government of the German Democratic Republic declared:
"The Government of the German Democratic Republic takes the view that in
accordance with the applicable rules of international law and the
international practice of States the regulations on the reapplication of
agreements concluded under international law are an internal affair of
the successor State concerned. Accordingly, the German Democratic
Republic was entitled to determine the date of reapplication of the
Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating the Distribution
of Narcotic Drugs, July 13th, 1931 to which it established its status as
a party by way of succession."
See also note in chapter I.2.
8 The instrument of ratification specifies that the reservation relating
to paragraph 2 of article 22, as formulated by the Representative of the
Netherlands at the time of signature of the Protocol, should be
considered as withdrawn.
