1. This Convention shall come into force three months after the deposit
of twelve instruments of ratification, acceptance or accession.
2. Subsequently, this Convention shall come into force in respect of
each State three months after that State has deposited its instrument
of ratification, acceptance or accession.
3. Accession to this Convention by a State not party to the 1952
Convention shall also constitute accession to that Convention; however,
if its instrument of accession is deposited before this Convention
comes into force, such State may make its accession to the 1952
Convention conditional upon the coming into force of this Convention.
After the coming into force of this Convention, no State may accede
solely to the 1952 Convention.
4. Relations between States party to this Convention and States that
are party only to the 1952 Convention, shall be governed by the 1952
Convention. However, any State party only to the 1952 Convention may,
by a notification deposited with the Director-General, declare that it
will admit the application of the 1971 Convention to works of its
nationals or works first published in its territory by all States party
to this Convention.
