25 Article V 3. of the ICRW: Each of such amendments shall become effective with respect to the Contracting
Governments ninety days following notification of the amendment by the Commission to each of the
Contracting Governments, except that (a) if any Government presents to the Commission objection to any
amendment prior to the expiration of this ninety-day period, the amendment shall not become effective with
respect to any of the Governments for an additional ninety days; (b) thereupon, any other Contracting
Government may present objection to the amendment at any time prior to the expiration of the additional ninetyday
period, or before the expiration of thirty days from the date of receipt of the last objection received during
such additional ninety-day period, whichever date shall be the later; and (c) thereafter, the amendment shall
become effective with respect to all Contracting Governments which have not presented objection but shall not
become effective with respect to any Government which has so objected until such date as the objection is
withdrawn. The Commission shall notify each Contracting Government immediately upon receipt of each objection and withdrawal and each Contracting Government shall acknowledge receipt of all notifications of
amendments, objections, and withdrawals.
