Accession to Singapore Treaty


The Government of New Zealand has now deposited its instrument of ratification of the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks. The said instrument contained the following declaration:

Consistent with the constitutional status of Tokelau and taking into account the commitment of the Government of New Zealand to the development of self-government for Tokelau through an act of self-determination under the Charter of the United Nations, this ratification shall not extend to Tokelau unless and until a Declaration to this effect is lodged by the Government of New Zealand with the Depositary on the basis of appropriate consultation with that territory.

The Treaty will enter into force with respect to New Zealand on December 10, 2012.
