The English column is an authentic text of the Convention, reproduced from the Dutch Treaty Series (Tractatenblad 1999, 180). The Convention was done in Portuguese, Dutch and English, each text being authentic; the English text prevails if the Portuguese and Dutch texts are interpreted differently. The Portuguese text is reproduced from the official publication. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the Convention.

Applying the law
