Art. II Verdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, ten behoeve van Curaçao, en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika, inzake toegang tot en gebruik van faciliteiten op Curaçao voor humanitaire bevoorradingen bedoeld voor de bevolking van de Bolivariaanse Republiek Venezuela

1. Curaçao agrees to allow United States personnel and Implementing Partners access to and use of designated Facilities, solely for the purpose of providing humanitarian assistance for Venezuela and third countries affected by the crisis in Venezuela. 2. Transport of humanitarian assistance under this Agreement to and from Curaçao shall take place with civilian assets, unless otherwise authorized in accordance with paragraph 5 of this Article. 3. The transfer of humanitarian assistance directly from Curaçao to Venezuela shall only take place if the situation permits an orderly distribution of the assistance in peaceful circumstances within Venezuela. 4. If the Kingdom of the Netherlands determines, after consultation with the United States, that the situation does not permit an orderly distribution of the humanitarian assistance in peaceful circumstances within Venezuela, Curaçao shall not be used as a hub to transfer and distribute such assistance to Venezuela. Humanitarian assistance may, however, be transferred to and stored in Curaçao anticipating transfer to Venezuela if the circumstances so permit; until that time there shall be no transfer of humanitarian assistance to Venezuela. At any time, the United States and its Implementing Partners may transfer humanitarian assistance to third countries. 5. The use of other assets is not allowed under this Agreement unless logistical circumstances require the use of such assets for transfer of the humanitarian assistance to Curaçao, and it shall only be allowed after prior consent of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
