Reservation made at the time of deposit the instrument of ratification, on 4 October 1979 - Or. Sp.

In pursuance of Article 64 of the Convention [Article 57 since the entry into force of the Protocol No 11], Spain makes reservations in respect of the application of the following provisions:

Articles 5 and 6, insofar as they may be incompatible with the disciplinary provisions concerning the Armed Forces, as they appear in Book 2, Part XV and Book 3, Part XXIV of the Code of Military Justice.

Brief statement of the relevant provisions:

The Code of Military Justice provides that the punishment of minor offences may be ordered directly by an offender's official superior, after having elucidated the facts. The punishment of serious offences is subject to an investigation of a judicial character, in the course of which the accused must be given a hearing. The penalties and the power to impose them are defined by law. In any case, the accused can appeal against the punishment to his immediate superior and so on, up to the Head of State.

Declaration contained in a letter from the Permanent Representative of Spain, dated 28 May 1986

At the time of deposit of the instrument of ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, on 29 September 1979, Spain formulated a reservation to Articles 5 and 6 to the extent to which those Articles might be incompatible with the provisions of the Code of Military Justice - Chapter XV of Part II and Chapter XXIV of Part III - concerning the disciplinary regime of the Armed Forces.

I have the honour to inform you, for communication to the Parties to the Convention, that these provisions have been replaced by Basic Law 12/1985 of 27 November - Chapter II of Part III and Chapters II, III and IV of Part IV - concerning the disciplinary regime of the Armed Forces, which will enter into force on 1 June 1986.

The new legislation amends the former provisions by reducing the duration of the sanctions imposing deprivation of liberty which can be applied without judicial intervention by increasing the guarantees of persons during the preliminary investigation.

Spain confirms nevertheless its reservation to Articles 5 and 6 to the extent to which those Articles might be incompatible with the provisions of Basis Law 12/1985 of 27 November - Chapter II of Part III and Chapters II, III and IV of Part IV - concerning the disciplinary regime of the Armed Forces, which will enter into force on 1 June 1986.
Période d'effet : 28/5/1986 - 23/5/2007            
Déclaration ci-dessus relative aux articles : 5, 6

Spain, in accordance with Article 64 of the Convention [Article 57 since the entry into force of the Protocol No 11], reserves itself the implementation of Articles 5 and 6 insofar as they could be incompatible with the Organic Law 8/1998, of 2 December, Chapters II and III of Tile III and Chapters I, II, III, IV and V of Title IV of the Disciplinary Regime of the Army Forces, which came into force on 3 February 1999.
