Paris Convention on Nuclear Third Party LiabilityLatest status of ratifications or accessionsThe OECD Secretary General is the depositary for the Paris Convention, which has been amended three times by Protocols adopted in 1964, 1982 and 2004. The 1960 Convention and the 1964 Protocol entered into force on 1 April 1968. The 1982 Protocol entered into force on 7 October 1988. The 2004 Protocol has not yet entered into force.
* Austria and Luxembourg both signed the 1960 Paris Convention, the 1964 Additional Protocol to amend the Paris Convention and the 1982 Protocol to amend the Paris Convention. Neither country has ratified any of these instruments. * L'Autriche et le Luxembourg ont signé la Convention de Paris de 1960, le protocole additionnel de 1964 portant modification à la Convention de Paris et le protocole de 1982 portant modification à ladite Convention. Ni l’un ni l’autre n’a ratifié aucun de ces instruments. ** Switzerland has signed the 1960 Paris Convention, the 1964 Additional Protocol to amend the Paris Convention and the 1982 and 2004 Protocols to amend the Paris Convention. On 9 March 2009, Switzerland deposited its instrument of ratification of the 1960 Paris Convention as amended by the 1964, 1982 and 2004 amending Protocols. As this ratification is effective only with respect to the 1960 Paris Convention as amended by all 3 Protocols, entry into force for Switzerland of the Paris Convention as so amended will only take place once the 2004 Protocol to amend the Paris Convention has itself entered into force. ** La Suisse a signé la Convention de Paris de 1960, le protocole additionnel de 1964 portant modification à la Convention de Paris et les protocoles de 1982 et de 2004 portant modification à ladite Convention. Le 9 mars 2009, la Suisse a déposé son instrument de ratification de la Convention de Paris de 1960 telle qu’amendée par les protocoles de 1964, 1982 et 2004. Comme cet instrument de ratification ne s’applique qu’à la Convention de Paris de 1960 telle qu’amendée par les 3 protocoles, la Convention de Paris telle qu’amendée n’entrera en vigueur pour la Suisse qu’au moment où le Protocole de 2004 portant modification à la Convention de Paris entrera lui-même en vigueur.
