Ditto. I want to know if the New Zealand government signed it, or whether we sided with the Merkins...

I haven't been able to find a comprehensive list anywhere, and I've been looking hard.

What I am finding are a few reports from individual countries about either signing (like Argentina) or not signing (like, apparently, Switzerland).

I'm going to update the diary with a list of known signers and non-signers, and hopefully people can add countries here in the comments if they discover new info.

WE HAVE THE LIST!

Actually, FIDH has the list. New Zealand is not on it. Nor are a lot of other so-called "developed" "Western" countries.

So much for the "civilized" world.

Diary now updated.

Netherlands didn't sign? Oh well.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

And here's a map:

I've also set up a wiki page with a summary of the Convention for those interested.

Thanks, I was thinking of that.

Its one of my long-term projects to map global human rights treaties. It's quite useful to see where the holes are...

meanwhile, I'm ashamed that the New Zealand government didn't sign. But anything to avoid offending the Americans, huh?

Re: Shame, shame, shame (none / 1)

Cool. Someday somebody will have to show me how to do those maps.

Get the blank map template from WikiCommons (go to the wiki page and click on the picture), then sit down with paint and the "fill" button. Fortunately you can undo any errors which see the entire oceans filled when trying to do the small islands...
