With regard to the reservations made by the Federal Republic of Somalia upon ratification:

       “The Government of the Republic of Poland has carefully examined the reservations made by the Federal Republic of Somalia to the Convention on the Rights of the Child adopted by General Assembly of the United Nations on 20th of November 1989, […] upon its ratification on October 1, 2015.

       The Government of the Republic of Poland considers that the reservations made by the Federal Republic of Somalia regarding articles 14, 20 and 21 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and any other provisions of the Convention contrary to the General Principles of Islamic Sharia Law are incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and therefore objects to them.

       This objection shall not preclude the entry into force of the Convention between the Federal Republic of Somalia and the Republic of Poland.”
