However, please note that when a treaty is silent on this matter, the practice of the Secretary-General as depositary is to calculate the number of acceptances on the basis of the number of States parties to the Convention at the time of acceptance.
但请注意，如果条约对该问题保持沉默，按照惯例，秘书长作为保存人将根据在接受时公约缔约国的数目来计算接受书的数目。
