As of January 2018, 116 state parties have ratified the convention, and a further 15 states have signed but have not ratified the convention.[3] In addition, the Republic of China (Taiwan), which is currently only recognized by 11 UN member states, signed the Convention in 1970 prior to the United Nations General Assembly's vote to transfer China's seat to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1971. When the PRC subsequently acceded to the Convention, they described the Republic of China's (ROC) signature as "illegal".[3] 64 UN member states have neither signed nor ratified the Convention.
