page 66 note * Namibia: Instruments of accession to the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols were deposited by the United Nations Council for Namibia on 18 October 1983. The depositary State advised the ICRC that the said accession to the Conventions has now become void. In an instrument deposited on 22 August 1991, Namibia declared its succession to the Geneva Conventions, which were previously applicable pursuant to South Africa's accession on 31 March 1952.

page 73 note 1 Newly admitted to membership on 2 March 1992 and on 22 May 1992:

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, San Marino, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

page 73 note 2 By ratification, a State expresses its consent to be bound by a treaty which it has previously signed. By accession, a State which is not signatory to a treaty may accede to it (the legal effect of accession is the same as that of signature followed by ratification). By a declaration of succession, a newly independent State may declare that it will continue to be bound by a treaty which was applicable to it prior to its independence.
