On 17 January 1997 the Republic of Chad deposited an instrument of “ratification” of the Protocols additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol I) and Non-International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II), adopted in Geneva on 8 June 1977. The document was not accompanied by any declaration or reservation. Since the Republic of Chad did not sign the Protocols, the depositary State considers this document to be an instrument of accession.

The names of countries given in the following list may differ from the official names of States.
The dates indicated are those on which the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs received the official instrument from the State that was ratifying, acceding to or succeeding to the Conventions or Protocols or accepting the competence of the Commission provided for under Article 90 of Protocol I. They thus represent neither the date on which ratification, accession, succession or acceptance of the Commission was decided upon nor that on which the corresponding instrument was sent.
