 12) The Torremolinos Protocol is effectively replaced and superseded by the 2012 Cape Town Agreement which updates and amends a number of provisions of the Protocol, to facilitate their entry into force. States should therefore not ratify or otherwise express their consent to be bound by the Protocol and should instead become Parties to the Agreement; States which have already expressed their consent to be bound by the Protocol should take appropriate steps to signify their consent to be bound by the Agreement using one of the options available under article 3 of the Agreement.

13) In order to eliminate certain obstacles to the ratification of the 1996 HNS Convention, a number of provisions of the Convention have been amended by the 2010 HNS Protocol.

In order to avoid a situation in which two conflicting regimes would become operational, States that decide to become Parties to the 2010 HNS Protocol must ensure that they deposit instruments only in respect of the Protocol, without any references to the 1996 HNS Convention (see resolution 3 of the International Conference of 2010 on the Revision of the HNS Convention).
