1 On the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the Programme of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the High Commissioner submitted the draft of the above-mentioned Protocol to the General Assembly of the United Nations, through the Economic and Social Council, in the addendum to his report concerning measures to extend the personal scope of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. The Economic and Social Council, in resolution 1186 (XL) of 18 November 1966, took note with approval of the draft Protocol and transmitted the said addendum to the Gen- eral Assembly. The General Assembly, in resolution. 2198 (XXI) of 16 December 1966, took note of the Protocol and requested the Secretary-General "to transmit the text of the Protocol to the States mentioned in article V thereof, with a view to enabling them to accede to the Protocol."
With the following declaration": "The Government of Australia will not extend the provisions of the Protocol to Papua New Guinea.”
2 In a note accompanying the instrument of accession, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany declared that the Protocol "shall also apply to Land Berlin with effect from the date on which it enters into force for the Federal Republic of Germany".
With reference to the above-mentioned declaration, communi- cations have been addressed to the Secretary-General by the Governments of Bulgaria and Mongolia. The said communica- tions are identical in essence, mutatis mutandis, to the corres- ponding ones referred to in footnote 3, p. 52.
"The Kingdom of the Netherlands accedes to the said Pro- tocol so far as the territory of the Kingdom situated in Europe is concerned."
