El 28 de enero de 2010, el Secretario General recibió del Gobierno de Alemania la siguiente comunicación relativa a la declaración formulada por la República de El Salvador en el momento de la firma y confirmada en el momento de la ratificación :
"La República Federal de Alemania ha examinado detenidamente la reserva mencionada.
La República Federal de Alemania considera que las reservas que consisten en una referencia general a un sistema de normas (como la Constitución o el orden jurídico del Estado autor de la reserva) sin especificar el contenido de este no precisa en qué medida el Estado se considera obligado por las obligaciones derivadas del tratado. Además, esas normas pueden estar sujetas a cambios.
Por consiguiente, la reserva formulada por la República de El Salvador no es lo suficientemente precisa como para que sea posible determinar las restricciones que se introducen en el acuerdo.
La República Federal de Alemania, por lo tanto, opina que la reserva es incompatible con el objeto y el fin de la Convención y el Protocolo, y desea señalar que, de conformidad con el párrafo 1 del artículo 46 de la Convención, y el párrafo 1 del artículo 14 del Protocolo, no se aceptará una reserva incompatible con el objeto y el fin de la Convención.
La República Federal de Alemania formula una objeción respecto de la reserva antes mencionada. Esta objeción no impedirá la entrada en vigor de la Convención y el protocolo entre la República Federal de Alemania y la República de El Salvador."

Declaration made upon ratification:
"The Declaration of the Republic of Azerbaijan contains unsubstantiated and baseless allegations against the Republic of Armenia and distorts the essence of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict which was triggered and sustained by the use of force by Azerbaijan against peaceful demands of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh for human rights and self-determination."
Objection with regard to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification: (16 March 2016)
"The Government of Austria has examined the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted on 13 December 2006. It welcomes the ratification of the Optional Protocol by Turkey as a significant step for the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities. However, as a member state of the European Union, Austria opposes the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey which describes another member state, the Republic of Cyprus, as a defunct entity."
Objeción con respecto a la reserva formulada por El Salvador en el momento de la firma y confirmada en el momento de la ratificación: (26 de septiembre de 2008)
" El Gobierno de Austria ha examinado la reserva a la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad y al Protocolo Facultativo formulada por el Gobierno de El Salvador.
Según los términos de dicha reserva, El Salvador sólo tiene previsto convertirse en Parte en la Convención en la medida en que sus disposiciones no sean contrarias a ninguno de sus preceptos, normas y principios enunciados en su Constitución o violen dichas normas y principios. A falta de otras precisiones, esta reserva no especifica claramente el alcance de la excepción que hace El Salvador a las disposiciones de la Convención. La formulación general y vaga de la reserva suscita dudas acerca de la determinación de El Salvador de convertirse en Parte de la Convención y, en consecuencia, es incompatible con el derecho internacional.
El Gobierno de Austria presenta su objeción a la reserva formulada por el Gobierno de la República de El Salvador a la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad y al Protocolo facultativo sobre la misma.
Esta objeción no constituye óbice, sin embargo, a la entrada en vigor de la Convención, en su integridad, entre Austria y El Salvador."

Objection made on February 11, 2016:
With regard to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification:
"The Republic of Cyprus has examined the declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (New York, 13 December 2006) on 26 March 2015, limiting the implementation of the provisions of the Convention and the Protocol, by excluding the Republic of Cyprus from the application of the Protocol at reference by the Republic of Turkey. The content of the declaration makes it tantamount in its essence to a reservation. Such a reservation is contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention and its Protocol, as it prevents the realization of the cooperation between States Parties foreseen by the Convention and its Protocol. In addition, such a declaration / reservation also relies on the principle of reciprocity, which is incompatible with human rights' obligations assumed through this Convention. The legal reasoning, cited above, renders Turkey's declaration unacceptable, as the declaration under reference contravenes the letter and the spirit of the Convention and its Protocol. The Republic of Cyprus, therefore, objects to the aforesaid declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers the declaration null and void. This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Turkey, without the Republic of Turkey benefiting from its declaration / reservation."
On 18 March 2015, the Government of El Salvador informed the Secretary-General that it had decided to withdraw the following Reservation made upon signature and confirmed upon ratification:
"The Government of the Republic of El Salvador signs the present Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Optional Protocol thereto, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 December 2006, to the extent that its provisions do not prejudice or violate the provisions of any of the precepts, principles and norms enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of El Salvador, particularly in its enumeration of principles."
Objection with regard to the declaration made by Turkey upon ratification: (16 March 2016)
"… The Government of the Hellenic Republic has examined the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification, on 26 March 2015, of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Republic of Turkey declares that its ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should not imply any obligation on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Protocol.
In [the] view of the Government of the Hellenic Republic, the above declaration in fact amounts to a reservation, as it purports to exclude the application of the Protocol in Turkey's relations with the Republic of Cyprus. Such a reservation is incompatible with the principle that inter-State reciprocity has no place in the context of human rights treaties, which concern the endowment of individuals with rights. It is, therefore, contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol.
The Government of the Hellenic Republic recalls that, according to Article 14 paragraph 1 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, reservations incompatible with the object and purpose of this Protocol shall not be permitted.
For the above reasons, the Government of the Hellenic Republic objects to the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the said Protocol.
This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Protocol between the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Turkey…"
Declaration made upon ratification:
"The Republic of Guinea-Bissau does not recognize the competence of the Committee under articles 6 and 7 to conduct inquiries into serious and systematic violations of the Convention (Article 8)."
On 6 December 2016, the Secretary-General received from the Government of Portugal the following communication relating to the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification:
"The Government of the Portuguese Republic has examined the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey upon ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted on 13 December 2006.
It welcomes the ratification of the Optional Protocol by the Republic of Turkey since this is a significant step for the promotion of human rights, particularly the rights of those persons with disabilities.
Nevertheless, the Portuguese Republic, as a European Union Member State, opposes the declaration made by the Republic of Turkey since it describes another Member State, the Republic of Cyprus, as a defunct entity."
Declaración:
"El Gobierno de la República Árabe Siria declara que no reconoce la competencia del Comité sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad (en adelante "el Comité") al que se refieren los artículos 6 y 7 del Protocolo Facultativo, con base en el artículo 8 de dicho Protocolo, que enuncia que todo Estado Parte podrá, en el momento de la firma o ratificación del presente Protocolo, o en su adhesión, no reconocer la competencia del Comité en virtud de los artículos 6 y 7."

Declaration made upon ratification:
"Turkey declares that [its] ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities neither amounts to any form of recognition of the Greek Cypriot Administration's pretention to represent the defunct 'Republic of Cyprus' as party to that Protocol, nor should it imply any obligation on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the so-called Republic of Cyprus within the framework of the said Protocol."
