S P O R A Z U M      O STATUSU MISIJ IN PREDSTAVNIKOV TRETJIH DRŽAV PRI ORGANIZACIJI SEVERNOATLANTSKE POGODBE

Ob upoštevanju Deklaracije o miru in sodelovanju, ki so jo sprejeli voditelji držav in vlad, ki so sodelovali na sestanku Severnoatlantskega sveta v Rimu 7. in 8. novembra 1991, in poziva k ustanovitvi Sveta za severnoatlantsko sodelovanje, in Izjave Sveta za severnoatlantsko sodelovanje o dialogu, partnerstvu in sodelovanju z dne 20. decembra 1991;

po seznanitvi s povabilom za Partnerstvo za mir, ki so ga izdali in podpisali voditelji držav in vlad držav članic Organizacije Severnoatlantske pogodbe na sestanku Severnoatlantskega sveta v Bruslju 10. januarja 1994;

ob zavedanju, da je treba določiti status misij in predstavnikov tretjih držav pri organizaciji;

ob upoštevanju, da ni namen imunitet in privilegijev iz tega sporazuma, da bi posamezniki imeli od njih koristi, ampak zagotoviti, da bi učinkovito opravljali svoje naloge, povezane z organizacijo;

so pogodbenice tega sporazuma sklenile:

1. člen

V tem sporazumu

»organizacija« pomeni Organizacijo Severnoatlantske pogodbe;

»država članica« pomeni državo pogodbenico Severnoatlantske pogodbe, sklenjene v Washingtonu 4. aprila 1949;

»tretja država« pomeni državo, ki ni pogodbenica Severnoatlantske pogodbe, sklenjene v Washingtonu 4. aprila 1949, a je sprejela povabilo v Partnerstvo za mir in podpisala Okvirni dokument Partnerstva za mir, državo članico Sveta za severnoatlantsko sodelovanje ali kako drugo državo, ki jo je Severnoatlantski svet povabil, naj pri organizaciji ustanovi misijo.

2. člen

Država članica, na katere ozemlju ima organizacija svoje poveljstvo, podeli misijam tretjih držav pri organizaciji in članom njihovega osebja imunitete in privilegije, podeljene diplomatskim misijam in njihovemu osebju.

Poleg tega država članica, na katere ozemlju ima organizacija svoje poveljstvo, podeli običajne imunitete in privilegije začasno poslanim predstavnikom tretjih držav, za katere ne velja odstavek a) tega člena, za čas, ko so navzoči na njenem ozemlju, da bi zastopali tretje države v zvezi s postopki organizacije.

3. člen

Ta sporazum je na voljo za podpis državam članicam in ga je treba ratificirati, sprejeti ali odobriti. Listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi se deponirajo pri Vladi Kraljevine Belgije, ki vse države podpisnice obvesti o deponiranju vsake take listine.

Takoj ko dve ali več držav podpisnic, med njimi tudi tista država članica, na katere ozemlju ima organizacija svoje poveljstvo, deponirajo svoje listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi, ta sporazum začne veljati za te države. Za vsako drugo državo podpisnico začne veljati na dan deponiranja njene listine.

4. člen

Ta sporazum lahko vsaka država pogodbenica odpove s pisnim uradnim obvestilom o odpovedi, poslanim Vladi Kraljevine Belgije, ki o vsakem takem uradnem obvestilu obvesti vse države podpisnice.

Odpoved začne veljati eno leto po tem, ko Vlada Kraljevine Belgije prejme uradno obvestilo.

V potrditev tega so podpisani, ki so jih za to pravilno pooblastile njihove vlade, podpisali ta sporazum, katerega angleško in francosko besedilo sta enako verodostojni.

Sestavljeno v Bruslju 14. septembra 1994.
