NOTE - United Kingdom applied the HAGUE-VISBY RULES (in 1976) and WARSAW CONVENTION (1929) to Bermuda, Hong Kong, Gibraltar and to other ruled Countries. France and Denmark did the same. United Kingdom extended the application of CMR to Gibraltar.

With respect to this list, it has been assumed the Republics of ex RSFSR are bound by the Convention that RSFSR ratified (but it might be not). The same about the ex-Yugoslavia Republics.
