12 December 1980
In application of Article 24 in
connection with Article 15 of the Convention the Kingdom makes the
reservation that its authorities shall apply its internal law if the
creditor and the debtor are both nationals of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands and if the debtor has his habitual residence in the Kingdom.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands consisted of
three parts: the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The
Netherlands Antilles consisted of the islands of Curaçao, Sint Maarten,
Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. With effect from 10 October 2010, the
Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as a part of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands. Since that date, the Kingdom consists of four parts: the
Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and Slnt Maarten. Curaçao and Sint Maarten
enjoy internal self-government within the Kingdom, as Aruba and, up to
10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles do. These changes constitute a
modification of the internal constitutional relations within the
Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands will
accordingly remain the subject of international law with which
agreements are concluded. The modification of the structure of the
Kingdom will therefore not affect the validity of the international
agreements ratified by the Kingdom for the Netherlands Antilles. These
agreements, including any reservations made, will continue to apply to
Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The other islands that have formed part of the
Netherlands Antilles - Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba - became part
of the Netherlands, thus constituting "the Caribbean part of the
Netherlands". The agreements that applied to the Netherlands Antilles
will also continue to apply to these islands; however, the Government of
the Netherlands will now be responsible for implementing these
agreements.
