international treaties, were subject to reciprocity. Furthermore it was regrettable that the proposal currently before the Working Group did not seek merely to delete the clause on reciprocity but to replace it by a provision which would forbid States parties from excluding certain categories of migrant workers from the application of the Convention. At its fall 1989 session, the -Jerking Group had, after lengthy debate, rejected a similar provision in the context of the present article 90. It was not only unfortunate but inadmissible that the Working Group should be asked to reconsider an issue that had already been settled in second reading. With regard to the substance of the proposal, he drew attention to the statements by his delegation, which were referred to in paragraph 28 of document A/C.3/44/1 and in paragraphs 315 and 330 of document AlC.314414. However , realizing that the other members of the Working Group were in favour of deleting the clause on reciprocity and replacing it by a formula that would forbid the exclusion of certain categories of migrant workers from the application of the Convention, and not wishing to stand in the way of a consensus, he merely asked that his position should be reflected in tho report. 69. The representative of Japan said that his delegation was in favour of a reciprocity clause in the Convention and reserved his position in that regard. 70. The representative of France recalled that his delegation had always favoured the drafts of article 86 which had emerged from the discussion on first reading. Since his delegation had agreed to join the consensus in favour of adopting a new article 86, it wished to confirm that the principle of reciprocity could always have an impact on the effectiveness of a number of articles of the Convention.
